Few days ago I learned from a friend the love story of one of her relatives, which I consider to be worthy of an episode in "Maalaala Mo Kaya".
It's a story between two young sweethearts -- the typical story of teen, puppy love that usually ends just before the relationship really gets to flourish. Moving on with their lives after a mutually-agreed break-up, they went on their separate ways, later met their respective partners, built their own families, had kids and grandkids.
Fast forward to almost half a century years later. Fate would have it that they meet again. Boy comes home after many years abroad, then wondered about his first love. Initially perhaps out of curiosity, boy decided to trace girl. Boy got ecstatic upon knowing where to find her. Finally boy got to see girl again.
For some reason, boy felt his heart skip upon finding out girl is now widowed, just like him. And so sparks mysteriously flew between them in that meeting after many years. Constant dates thereafter only confirmed their magical feeling towards each other -- that everything about them was simply rekindled. The next thing they knew, they were walking down the aisle again.
Sigh! In this day and age, it's always nice to hear about good, old-fashioned and real love stories like this once in a while, don't you think? The story reminds me of a line from Dawson's Creek that said "When two people are meant for each other, it doesn't mean that they are meant for each other now..." :-)
So who knows, you love fools out there. Life and love really moves in mysterious ways. ;-)
