Story based on Renoir's The Lovers.
By: Paula, Emiliano and Franco.

It was a quite cold afternoon in the city of Pompeii. Garret and Jasmine, a young couple of lovers, were lying in the daisies field, a delightful place to spend a lovely time. They never thought they were going to end up together because of the distance that kept them apart, but since Garret´s family had moved to Pompeii, they could finally spend more time with each other.
-       I´m very excited about our wedding dear! Just think of me in precious white dress and you wearing your father´s suit.
-       Yes honey, I cherish that moment too. I can´t believe that our parents agreed to the wedding.
-       Yes, it was really hard to prove ourselves to them. However, I don´t know why, but I keep having the feeling that something will happen.
-       Don´t be afraid my love! Nothing will keep us apart. I swear I will always be by your side.
-       That´s very sweet. You´re the best thing that ever happen to me, and I can´t imagine living without you.
They went ahead planning the wedding. They were supposed to get married in two weeks. But they never thought what destiny has planned for them.
A couple of days later, Garet received stunning news…
-       Garret! What a lovely surprise! But tell me, what are you doing here? Why do you look so sad?
-       I have something to tell you, it got me by surprise. Yesterday, I received a letter from the military service. I´m obliged to attend the war. It´s compulsory for me and I must leave tomorrow morning.
-       No, no, please, tell me that you´re lying. Please, tell me that it´s a nightmare.
-       I´m so sorry. It is no dream, but I promise I will be back.
-       You promised you would never leave me.
-       I know, it´s killing me, but I have no option.
-       Please, don´t go! Let´s escape together.
-       I´m really really sorry! But, honey wait for me! I promise we will get marry. Don’t forget that I love you.

After Garret´s departure, the passing of the days started to be harder and harder for Jasmine. She couldn´t stand being away from him. That´s the reason why she started writing letters to him  expressing her anxiety and sorrow. Luckily for her,  an answer arrived to the post office at times and that´s how Jasmine kept her hopes alive.
-       Oh my love… this pain is killing me… If only this letter could bring you back… I need you as the air I breath
Every night she wore Garet’s suit so that she could feel that he was there with her….  
Through the passing of the days, she started to think that Garet forgot her…
As every afternoon, she was having a cup of tea in the hall of the house waiting for her love, when suddenly, she listened that someone with a strange beard was walking into her house… when she noticed that she knew that man, he was her true love Garet. She ran to him and with a passionate hug they showed how bad they had missed each other.
Pierre Renoir
-       I can’t believe you’re finally here! You don’t even know how many times I’ve dreamed with this moment! Oh Garet!
-       You were the light that kept me going through the most difficult times! Being here with you was everything I could think of!
-       I think it’s time to fulfill a little promise…
-       Yes, a little promise of marriage!...

    After Garret´s departure, the passing of the days started to be harder and harder for Jasmine. She couldn´t stand being away from him. That´s the reason why she started writing letters to him expressing her anxiety and sorrow. Unfortunately for her, news about the bloody war arrived.
    - Oh my love… this pain is killing me… If only this letter could bring you back… I need you as the air I breath.
    After reading the letter Jasmine fell to her knees devastated and heartbroken. The letter said that no soldier had survived after the war. She began to wonder how life will be without Garet. Jasmine did not find answers or comfort. Every night she wore Garet’s suit so that she could feel that he was there with her….
    Through the passing of the days, she started to think that her life had no meaning and I had to do something to give back her soul, so she decided to settle in the monastery where she offered her life to God hoping to help those people suffering for love, illness or loneliness.
    Her heart started to fill with gratitude and love that people gave her. Now, Jasmine’s life, had regained its meaning although part of her heart will never forget her great love Garet, who she expected to see again very soon in the afterlife.

  3. Every night she wore Garet’s suit so that she could feel that he was there with her….
    Through the passing of the days, she started to think that Garet forgot her…
    As every afternoon, she was having a cup of tea in the hall of the house waiting for her love, when suddenly, she listened that someone with a strange beard was walking into her house…

    When she noticed that she knew that man, he was a soldier. But he wasn’t her fiancé. She started shivering because she felt a bad sensation. The man introduced himself and gave her a letter. It said that a soldier was killed by the enemy. She was crying for hour, she was devastated. After some weeks she talked with her parents and took the decision of getting married with the man that they had chosen. Because her heart was killed by the enemy.
    - My heart is dead so I will never love another man again.
    She carried out her promise and formed a family. But she couldn’t be happy in this life. Only the sons’ love gave her the power for to continue living.
    After 5 years, while she was doing the launder, someone knocked the door. She opened it and there was Garet. Her true love had survived the horrible war but he was took prisoner. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Garet was hoping the kisses of his fiancée when he heard a child who shouted
    - Mum…!!
    In that moment, they realized that they couldn’t be together anymore. A little mistake of a letter broke a big love of a couple.
