serendipity

we all want to believe we'd find love someday in the most unusual of circumstances. after all, who doesn't want a love story that begins with an accidental meeting, continues on with an attraction that spanned time and space, and ended with a wonderful ever after?

i know i do.

so maybe disobeying your then-boyfriend by attending the birthday lunch of your brother's barkada where you met the pilot was a sign.

so maybe your private international law teacher's penchant for airline cases was a sign.

so maybe your reading an obscure case where his lolo turned out to be chief justice at that time was a sign.

so maybe three airplanes actually appearing in the sky after your student said, "miss if we see three planes promise us you'll go meet him tonight" is a sign.

maybe.

but when your mom's best friend in college, someone you've been hearing of your entire life, turns out to be his aunt, that's not just a sign.

that's serendipity.
