Do you believed in soul mates? Two people that are destined to embark each other? For me, I do believe.
The story of my parents started with such an amazing dream. It was December 24, 1975 in the evening, when my mother dreamt that she went to downtown to buy some personal things. She crossed the street towards the store where she saw the nice shoulder bag inside. When she stepped the gutter in the façade of the store, a black shoes with red pants and blue shirt was also taking his way to cross the street. She saw the face of the guy, but suddenly, she awoke because it was already morning.
It was December 25, 1975 when all her housemates together with their boyfriends decided to go to mall to buy what they wanted. All of them were given their thirteenth month salary. She decided to go to Colon Street alone, to buy some important things for herself. When she arrived there, she saw a store, having a Christmas sale. She crossed the street and while approaching the store, she had to step the gutter so that she can get inside. While looking at her way, she saw black shoes with red pants and blue shirt smiling at her. She said, “Hey, how are you, what are you doing here?” The guy replied,”I’m just fine, where are you going?” She replied, “I will buy a bag (pointing the store).” Then he said, “I’ll just go with you.” After she bought, he asked her, “What are you going to do now?” She answered, “I’ll just go home.” Then he said, “Wait, can we have some coffee over there (pointing to the coffee shop nearby).” After they had they coffee, they went to ‘Fort San Pedro” in Plaza Independencia. While walking, they talked about the museum but not about their own lives. They didn’t even know their names and where they came from. After that, he offered to go with her in her house because it was late already. On the way home, she seems like she had been awaked from a deep sleep, she suddenly realized that she didn’t know him at all. She asked him, “Who are you? What’s your name? Where did we meet?” He laughed because he also didn’t know her. Then, he introduced himself. When she arrived home, she remembered that, he was the guy in her dreamed.
After two years of being lovers, he proposed a marriage to her. They were married on November 09, 1977. In the place of my mother in, El Pardo, Boljoon, Cebu. After one year of happy marriage but full of trials, they were blessed of one healthy baby girl. Now, they were in their 27th years living as a couple, together with their seven children.
Love moves in mysterious ways if you will follow your fate. Every individual is destined for some thing. And if you will just believe in destiny, love will find a way.
