Day 5: Kismet

I have always believed in fate. I would often claim that I would never be where I am now if certain things did not happen in the past. I would not have met the people I know now if I did not take that quick left turn. I would not have fallen in love with some if I did not go online, if I did not take that extra walk in the park, if I did not stay longer in the bar, if I did not take that one phone call, if I did not start blogging.

Some people could argue that it was I who chose to take that left turn; That I decided to stay longer online and that I opted to walk than take a cab. It was even a personal choice to blog. I can never tell them that they are wrong and that I am right. I still stand by what I believe in because it works for me.

Had I not started blogging here, thanks to the prodding of my physician, I would not have met you. I would not have known you even existed. I would not have listened to your story. I would not have gotten disappointed. I would not have been as happy as I had been these days. I would not have known that I was still capable of being human. I do not regret taking the roads I have taken for they have led me to you.

"Tingin mo nagkita na kaya tayo dati?", I asked.

"Sa Boracay, last year.", you replied.

"Tingin ka nga ng tingin sa kin...", you continued.

"Malamang, kasi labas ang itlog mo.", I retorted.

Then I wondered. Could it be possible that we have met before?

"Alam mo, may nakilala ko sa Bora noon, may GF na kasama..."

"Napaisip tuloy ako...", you replied.

"Ako din...",

"Kismet ba to?"

"Kismet?", I asked.

"Google.", you suggested.

I did as I was told.'
