Seledon & Melissa are two good friends of mine. They're getting married in a couple of days from now. I feel so honored to be part of their very momentous day. I feel so honored to be part of their love story.
I'll be sharing with you their story. You can also read this in their site www.don-lai.us and in their Facebook page. Here we go:
Seledon & Melissa: A Ride-in-a-bike Story
Theirs may not be considered as a
fairy tale. It’s more likely to be called a journey -- a ride-in-a-bike journey
so to speak.
They started with different paths
–- each searching for a perfect bike with specs that can suit the kind of life
they want to explore while discovering fresh things in the fast lane where
strangers everywhere can be good friends if not lucky enough to find a perfect
match. Just like choosing a bike, there are also significant things to consider
in choosing a partner. The looks should
be extraordinary, the speed should be outstanding and performance should
include excellent fuel efficiency. Either one of them knew that one day the
universe conspired and God put these two traveling souls on the spot. They met
in a crossroad in a not-so-quite perfect timing while feeling that there’s this
single missing part of their own bike that they have to find in order to
complete their track.
No one admitted until now that it
was love-at-first-sight but there was this certain magic that ignited a certain
spark when their eyes first collide. It could be fate that Don was technically
asked to be part of Melai’s world. That became somehow a medium to recognize
the flicker that each felt when they first bumped into each other.
It was not easy at first as each
of them denied the growing feelings that they have for each other. Don was so
naïve that time and never took time to interpret further his feelings while
Melai was quite hesitant to proceed because she thought it was just a feeling
out of her being vulnerable that moment.
The journey continued as their
feelings were getting stronger. It actually became a pressure because each of
them decided to put limitations on it. Each of them thought that one of them
should take steps but nobody took enough courage to speak up until they almost
determined to put everything in halt. Afraid to take the risk, they thought
that it was not healthy anymore to go on and that there was nothing to fight
for. Mutually, they almost settled to stay as friends despite of the special
feelings they kept inside.
But cupid was pretty smart. He
turned an event into something remarkable for them. He made their friends and
people around them accessories to a sweet crime. It was Melai’s birthday and
she used her bravura to invite Don. Hesitant at first but the gent did not
decline the invitation which gave delight to the lady. The event went on
spontaneously and at the spur of the moment, these two souls unlocked each
mystery of feelings and there was an outburst of emotions like a firework in
the starry sky that night.
Thought it’s a no joyride all the
time, they enjoyed the adventure, grew together and savor every change gears
while running along the stretch of a zigzag route. Though it was not easy, it
was an all-sweat journey they have been into. At times when their feelings were
all in tear, they always have spare parts to fill in the gap. And their drive
went on miles respecting each road signs and made their way until they have
finally decided to be in one bike for life.
As they face the continuation of
their journey with a whole new trail, with God and their love are their fuel to
move on to the next challenging trip where at the end of each day, they can
embrace each other and take pleasure in
facing life full of happiness. In full gear, they both release the clutch, this
time of their own bike. Seledon & Melissa are now ready to take another
stroke smiling, HAPPY AS ONE.
