Irresistible Encounter

  A day after I published my entry below, an old friend dropped by, who claimed she just visited another friend near my place.  She is one of my very few blog followers. She told me, she read my blog last night and and I asked her “So?” She said I might want to write her own untold story, here it goes:

Years ago, she met this guy. They used to live in the same apartment building. They got along well,  would always eat together,  watch movies, and sometimes go out of town. But she didn’t know she would end up falling in love with him at the very critical time.  Maybe it was during the 4th year of togetherness, she developed deep feelings for him. The guy was already engaged, the wedding details she happened to know through a common friend. Two days before his wedding, the guy called her up  apologizing for that “too close for comfort” thing between them. She thought, why the hell was he apologizing? Those were the happiest days of her life. The guy made her promised to attend his wedding which she did. It was like part of her died that day. It was not pain but she prayed hard to take away the sadness that settled deep in her heart and to give her even a little courage to cope up. He was taken away from her….someone she can rely and count on, someone she can always run to, who never left her high and dry, whom she can be herself without being judged. She was sure, he was also ready to stand up or her and take blows on her behalf. But then, it will never be the same again.

Sometimes, life never seems to be the way you want it to be. There are things we are longing in ourlives that cannot be ours, no matter what we do. Eventually, she moved on, everything…very slowly… went back to normal for her. They still talked, ocassionally saw each other and sometimes  bumped at each other around the area, trying to kept the treasured relationship.  All the times they have together are permanently etched in history.  Until now, the memory of sadness of those times always bring tears on her eyes.

She started dating again but as a firm believer in love. luck did not shine brightly on her. She have been through her share of hell. After a while she gave up even trying to date. I asked, “Is he on the way?” She thought for a while then replied “No, I dont think so, it is just that I  could never find someone I was attracted to whom I would be having…if not more than then even the same level of intensity of what I felt before”.

Years passed by until few years ago when she thought that she would never had a chance to feel the same way again. Its like feeling that “if it takes her heart and soul,  you know she’d pay the price… everything that she possess she’ll gladly sacrifice.”  She is considering opportunities that she may not have in the past. It may not lasts forever,  but she decided to generally try to make each day the happiest day of her life.

She stood up, drinking the juice I gave her, saying “It is definitely not the happily ever after but I felt resurrected, feels great to be human again”. Adding, “Be early on Monday, exercise your rights, vote with your heart”.
