Love at first sight.
I found it hard to buy that statement. Story.
It's not that I never admire someone at first meeting. It happens a lot, especially I am a kinda girl who is easily attracted to a man. Especially the hot one. Uhhh I can spend the rest of my day looking at that handsome face and great attitude, so willing to touch his whole...
Well, sorry, quite absorbed with the excitement Lol.
The point I am trying to make is I never believe one can truly fall and feel in love with someone whom he/she just firstly met. Admiring is possible, but it's different. I have admired Justin Timberlake since the first time I saw him, in elementary school. Is it love? No
But I guess I... you know, I'm trying to think that might be true anyway...
A few dayss ago, I happened to have a convo with my mother's friend. We talked about many things. Actually she's the one who led the convo, which kinda helped the unwitted me LOL.
She told me bout her past, like where she used to live and school before she came and lived in Medan, why she chose her present job, and how she met his husband.
And hers is kinda...surprised me! Like really? I thought that kinda thing only happened in fiction world... in romance series to be specific...
"I met my husband when I was young... in the ship that brought me, alone, from Jakarta to Medan." Said that woman.
"Ooh.." I responded, not so interested. At first. But finally she could grab my attention when she told me this thing.
"I was about to spend holiday there back then. One time, I had a coffee in the restaurant there. All of a sudden, a man, who then becomes my husband, spoiled his coffee at my shirt... around this area" She pointed at her stomach. "It was hot, you know... I screamed many teribble things at him because of that."
"What?" I rolled my eyes, couldn't believe what my ears heard. "He...spoiled his coffee...to you?"
She nodded. "Yes. And I screamed at him..."repeated her, "...in Karonese*. That was why he knew I was, like him, a Karonese. And after that in the ship, he followed me, asked about myself, my home in Medan, told me that we were brothers because we're coming from the same tribe and hometown so we should help each other..."
Up to this, I don't know how I looked like when I listened to her story. Hers wow-ed to the extent it made me wonder whether my ears really ever and was listening to this thing.
Okay, that was overboard. I just wanted to make it seem dramatic LOL.
Let's continue.
"...and after we arrived in Medan and separated, he didn't let me. He looked for my home and when he got that, he came and visited my family. And he easily got closer to my family..." I said enthusiatically.
"Waw he's so damn...brave! Thick-skinned, he is! I can't imagine he just...came in to your house and..." I lost words!
She laughed. "Yeah. And he did not stop there. When I went back to Jakarta, he asked my address to my parents before he also went back to that city. He introduced himself to my big sister that lived with me...and also successfully grab her attention, too."
"What? Really? Oh he really is a thick-skin!" I said with big laugh. "But I have to admit that he's brilliant, you know! Caught your family, then caught you! Well, it's quite unbelievable. It's so like TV series!"
She just smiled, her eyes looked up to the ceilling, perhaps quite reminiscing the days she was young, having a journey and coincidentally meeting a stranger, someone uknown, quite suspicious may be, but trying hard to get her attention, to grab her heart so that he could get in there and be her one. And that started from the very first time he saw and knew her.
After that, I told her she was so blessed to have a husband like that. To ever meet that kind of man who fought so much to get to know her, make her know him, and reach her heart.
So rare, isn't it?
Yeah this story makes me wonder whether Love at first sight does exist or not...
But the more I think about it, the more I believe in Love at first sight...NOT!
Lol yeah I think what happened to my mom's friend is not Love at first sight at all. Um, perhaps her husband admired her beauty at the first time. But he didn't take it for granted! He chased her even to her home to get to know her deeper while also seizing the chance to take her heart and her beloved ones' too so if he finally made up his mind to propose, he surely has somewhat complete information, and vice versa.
Let's say, it started with admiration, and end up happily in a marriage.
Rather than believing in Love at first sight, I buy it more to Love is a process.
Not have the same opinion? Feel free to speak yours! =)
