I believe that the universe wanted Santiago to spend enough time in the desert so that he can experience the vision and warn the tribal chieftains of the vision he saw. To make him spend more time in the desert the universe put Fatima in Santiago’s path, knowing that he will fall for her and that he will want to spend more time in the desert just to be with her. Which is what the universe needed him to do.

At first, I created an inference that Santiago would get through his journey by his own personal choices. My original thoughts have changed because it's destiny that has gotten him where he is. Bumping into people while he is traveling, meeting new people, creating connections, and learning life lessons.
