Love Story by Erich Segal
The story on this point takes a different turn. Now they get married, and start to live in a miserable place but full of love. Oliver is not talking to his family, meanwhile, Jenny is trying to make a living for both of them while working as a teacher in a private school. Oliver is trying to finish his school. The story gets interesting now cuz she is married to a billionaire family and they can barely secure a living. They are happy though, madly in love living the days on their lives, until a phone call happens, and Oliver's family invites them to his father's 60th birthday. It's their 60 birthday, I mean that is pretty old, but Oliver does not want to hear about it. Jenny feeling bad about his parents tells them in the phone that Oliver is sending their love to them and hangs up. A huge fight starts among them and Jenny runs away. After searching for her everywhere, Oliver goes back home and finds her, outside in the cold, crying. He apologises and she says the greatest line of the whole novel: "Love is about never having to say I'm sorry". The story goes on...He graduates, finds a job with the highest salary and they are now trying to have a child together. After failing to get pregnant for a while, they go to the doctor and find out that Jenny has Leukimia and she is going to die. Their whole world crashes. He does not have money to pay for the medical bills so now he is forced to go to his dad, to ask him for the money. He does not tell him why, he just says to him it's for a good cause. At the hospital, Jenny is sick and in one cold wintery day she dies...Oliver meets his father in the hospital lobby and they have this touchy moment of reconciliation that changes the whole story, making Jenny the heroine of bringing his husbands family together. I think this story is priceless, timeless...Some would think that it's typical...I think that what makes it so damn special. The way how our ordinary lives can take different unexpected turns...
