How I Met. . . . .

Sometimes you are fated to meet. Sometimes it’s destiny. Sometimes you believe that the right one will come. But you know kids, most often times its not how you met. It’s not about if she is Miss Right or the perfect one.  Destiny may fate you to meet. But it doesn’t end there. It’s still a long way road ahead. It’s about you making her the one. It’s about the both of you making each other the destiny.   This is the story of how I met her. How through time I’ve fallen for her deeply. How the destiny thing does not guarantee being together. How things became complicated. How we went on our separate ways. How we ended up meeting each other again. Kids, this is the story of how I met her again and became your mother.

She was a very cute kid. I was in second grade and I know it’s but at that time I had a crush on her. I don’t know what is it but I was attracted to her.  Of course I can’t really understand what was happening at that time. I just understand one thing and it’s I like her. As we grow older, she grew more beautiful. I know your mother only brushes me off when I call her beautiful but it was the truth. She really was and always is.

 I was very shy at that time. Very timid. I would suddenly become a big red balloon when I see her or if our classmates tease me about her.  Even when your mother looks and smiles at me I tend to look away. When we were about to cross path, I look for another way. Yeah, let’s say I was very gay at that time. Your mother always laughs when she remembers about it.

You see kids, even if you are fated and you like each other but you won’t do anything about it. That would be useless and would only lead to nothing. Fate is only fifty-percent, the other half is yours. That’s what happened to us. My shyness always overcomes me when it comes to her. I proposed to her in third year with a very cheesy letter. Asking her if she could be my girlfriend (yeah you’re dad was very baduy), sadly she turned me down. But it was for the best. I was being pressured by my peers and everybody else for us to be with each other. She told me to come back to her when I’m ready. She must have thought it won’t be long before I would be ready again. We didn’t know it take more years to come. 

Things had been good. We were recognizing each others feeling at some point. However a time came when she has to go. She got this scholarship to go abroad. On the night before she go, she asked me to wait for her. I said yes. I promised her many things. I broke it all. That is when our destiny started to crumble. Your dad made two biggest mistakes with your mom. And that was breaking her heart twice. I never really knew the reason why I didn’t wait or contacted her. I guess the thing when she turned me down really had hit me or other things in mind. But all along I have no real reason to break my promises with her, but I did. It was highschool, kids do the most stupid mistakes and hurt the persons most important to them.

When she came back I was with someone. We decided to be friends and that. She accepted the fact that I was with someone and in a point moved on. Your mother also dated with someone and falls in love.  We remained as casual friends. We both thought that it would be the end of our story. But it wasn’t, we somehow ended up in the same place and became friends, much closer than we ever was since when we were in second grade. We discovered we have a lot in common and laugh at silly jokes. She would join me sometime in playing computer games and even tried dota, laughing at how the panda’s walk. But things were complicated at that time. Kids, there are stories that aren’t supposed to be told and this one of it.  In the end, it was a short lived relationship. She decided it wasn’t right. It was the time for us to walk in separate ways. I agreed. We both cut our ties with each other. Walk in the opposite directions, never to look back. It was for the best. I really thought it was the end of us. But a funny thing kids, how that fifty percent of the faith works, because when you thought it was over, it is the time when the wheels starts to turn.

You may say that once in your life you would start to walk away to another direction opposite to someone’s and never to see each other again. Well the funny thing is, the word is round, the farther you walk away with each other, the closer you really are. That’s what happened with me and your mother. We forgot that the world was round. We thought it was flat. We were living our separate ways, going on and living okay without each other. But when we bumped in again with each other, that illusion of being alone was shattered. I really don’t know what it is with your mother but she had this thing that makes me fall for her over and over again. It could be her smile. The way she laughs.  The way her eyes twinkle when she talks at me. The way she argues with me. The way she would wittingly counters me. Looking at her, it’s just so perfect. Everything about her is wonderful. And before I know it, there I was again the second grade boy who was for the first time again looking at the person he likes the most. And for the first time in years your mother smiled at me. The sweet smile, she always has since then. And that’s how I met your mother.

PS:  From then on, things had been good for us. I have been with your mother with one wonderful year. Happy as ever. I love you babe.
