The Long Way to Destiny

By Manuel Huerta

The Long Way To Destiny is based on a true events that narrates the childhood and early adulthood of Adi. Mattei, who is present at Adis birth and later become best friends, is in charge of telling the story from the beginning. Born into a family with a nonconventional background, Adi is surrounded by death. He loses his first three older siblings and then his younger brother to whom Adi becomes very attached to. Having a very near death experience himself, it is questionable whether Adi would reach adulthood. No different from most boys, Adi also had dreams of his future and pictured himself as a famous artist. However, this was not to be his fate. The first obstacle in Adis dreams was his very strict military type father. His father had had a very difficult childhood and had found a career and comfortable living in the civil service. Like other parents, Adis father wanted the best for his son and the best was to follow in his footsteps in the civil service. Adi, as most sons, would not be a part of his fathers dream for him and in no way pictured himself filling out forms trapped behind a desk day in and day out. Adis schemes to connivance his father that civil service was not for him failed. It would seem that not even the death of his father would keep him out of civil service. Adi finally gets the opportunity to pursue his dream only to find out that destiny has a different plan for him. Which poses the reader with a series of questions; does destiny exist and if so, are we bound to our destiny or can we change it? What are the consequences of not following our destiny, if indeed, we do have one? Is everyone born with a purpose in life or just a chosen few?"
