Love indeed works in ways we couldn't all define. Everyone has their own love st
ory to share, some of it sad, some of it romantic, and some of it even unimaginably magical... Love makes life interesting, more colorful, more meaningful... And stories of love as beautiful as this one makes most of us dream that someday, we too will have our own to share with the world..For me, that time arrived more than a year ago. When I met the man I was destined to be with, I knew my search was finally over. I was skeptic with the thought that love just comes when you least expect it, and in my case, I was totally mistaken. I may be a hopeless romantic but after having gone through heartbreaks, my belief in destiny got a bit jaded until Leih came into my life...
It is only now that I'm going to let this out. I had the weirdest short-lived infatuation with someone who seemed to share certain feelings for me, at the time that Leih was also pursuing me. I was single for a year and was busy enjoying the dating scene. Though I wasn't committed, I felt giddy as a stupid teenage girl falling in love when I started to hang out with this "somebody".. Other guys didn't seem to matter, I just lived by the moment, found excitement as I went out on friendly dates with this mystery guy. But then I knew from the start that it wasn't going anywhere. We were from two different cultures, two very much different worlds, and though I liked him just as much, I was sane enough to stop.... It was the second time I felt my heart breaking, only this time, I caused it. And Leih was a witness to all of it. He knew everything, and even if he felt that he had no chance on winning my heart since he lived thousands of miles away, he never left my side. He continuously made me feel that I am the only woman he would ever love, never failing to prove in little ways just how determined he was to make me fall. He made a decision to go for me even if it hurt him, coz he knew he had no right to feel that way yet towards me...
I realized how blind I was with all the efforts he had been giving me. I even remember when he confessed how painful it felt for him to know that I was starting to like somebody else, but he chose not to give up on me, coz he knew somewhere in his heart that I was the one.. I was his destiny. We both cried on the phone as he shamelessly poured out his feelings that night... And after that night, I started to look at Leih in a different light... I guess that's where my love for him began... I couldn't believe that such a wonderful guy still exists in this lifetime, and that I was lucky enough to snare one...
A line from Charlie from Letters To Juliet which quotes, " "I live in London, and you live in New York... But since the Atlantic Ocean is a bit wide to cross everyday, I suggest we flip for it... And if those terms are unacceptable, leaving London would be a pleasure, as long as you're waiting for me on the other side. coz the truth is, I'm deeply, passionately and madly in love with you..."
I can totally relate to Charlie as Leihson made practically the same decision when he asked my hand in marriage.. He had his life going just fine in the US, for 10 years he never thought of going back home. He was perfectly independent, living his life
the way he wanted, but decided to give it all up just to be with me, knowing that my heart is where my family is... And though it sounds selfish on my part, I must admit it was the best thing someone ever did for me...In a few months, we'll be celebrating our very first wedding anniversary, and the month after, our first new born will be arriving, finally completing our family. Nothing has changed, Leih has perfectly put on the role of a loving partner, only more caring and understanding, I couldn't ask for anything more... I do not know what could have become of my life if it wasn't Leih I ended up with. I couldn't see my life without him anymore... He has completed me in so many ways....
As I look back, I can now say that destiny is indeed for real. All we need is to have a little faith... Destiny really works, just as it worked for the woman who wrote her Letter To Juliet., and Sophie who got the fate she deserved.. =)
