A Valentine Card Arrives for Kamila

This weekend, Kamila was in deep thought for most of it. this deep though came about when a card turned addressed to Kamila early on Saturday morning. I wasn't her birthday or name day, but she did know that it was Valentine's Day. She knew this because the television was getting on here nerves telling people to buy things for Valentine Day. She also knew that it wasn't a Bulgarian tradition as today was Trifon Day, where the first cut of the vines takes place. Somehow Kamila felt sorry for Trifon the vine cutting legend as Valentine Day has become far more important in Bulgaria.

"It is such a shame that this Bulgarian tradition going back hundreds of years is being spoiled by commercialism," Kamila announced as she opened the card.

He mind now was focused on the card, which was sent from someone called S.L. Kamila blushed as she read the message of love and wanted to know who S.L. was. "It could stand for Secret Lover." we suggested.

Kamila from that point started here deep thoughts. "There is someone out there who is my Valentine, and I want to know who," Kamila said.

"Well, you're just have to wait until he shows up Kamila. You are very lucky that you have an admirer."

"Yes, but I might not like him," Kamila whispered. Perhaps that why she was deep in thought.
