Our Love Story (2007- A Year Of New Beginnings)

: Chapter 1 :

Cupid Chose Us and Struck the Arrow Later On

Syazwan-

It was a usual Sunday routine hanging out session at the Taurean Too CafĂ©. There she came and sat 2 seats away from me. I was immediately mesmerized by the way she talked and laughed from a far. Her personable smile, character and actions- everything about her was so cute. My first ever clear sight of her, unlike Mala’s of mine, was in fact the very 1st moment I had a crush on her. Since then, we had met for a few times and every time we did, my heart raced. I felt really excited. I literally could not tear away from staring at her gorgeous face. Then one time, after meeting up again for a coffee and movie, I decided to do something about my feelings for her. When it was time for everyone to go home, finally I gathered the guts to confront her and ask her out. It was a gamble I was willing to take and was ready to accept any answer given. I said, “Would it be weird if I asked you out?”. She only smiled and didn’t give the answer straight away. She said that it felt kinda weird since I was few years younger than her and added that she could be old enough to be his older sister. A few days later, she gave me her answer through an email message saying:

“Yes it would be weird and I cannot go out with u, but you seem like a very nice person and I like you, so I would'nt mind just hanging out as friends. I meet you sometimes anyway kan..so if you don't mind with this, I don’t mind either...”

I felt really excited at first but as I read on, it somberly disappeared. Well, at least I tried I said to myself accepting the dissapointment, but nevertheless, I felt glad that we were going to be friends. However, after a few times hanging out with her more, my feelings for her grew deeper and stronger. And a few weeks later, we both realized that we had similar feelings for one another. Like cupid had just struck us with his arrow to enchantly bound our hearts, minds and souls together.

NorMala-

Having just come out from our separate break-up’s, broken-hearted; we were in no state to go anywhere near a serious relationship (at least that’s what we thought) but on a given day and given hour and second, perhaps cupid chose us and we had met. It was never a falling in love on the first site thing. We met just as mutual acquaintances up until Wan got up the urge to ask me out. I was of course flattered but very doubtful of him especially since I knew he was a few years younger than me. I had never known of such a relationship nor did ever come close to know how it would ever happen or work. For me, it felt like as if I was going to be going out with one of my small sister’s friends and I was ready to not accept it at all counts. So, I told him that we can just be casual friends that hang out with one another and he agreed. It seemed so easy and accordingly at the time but as soon as I engaged a closer bond with him after getting to know all his sides, I fell just as hard and fast as he was for me. It didn’t take anytime for us to feel naturally destined for one another and at that very moment of our harmoniousness we knew that we were in for something so much more. A feeling we had never gone through with anyone else, a feeling that we both have been looking for all our lives and gladly found in each other.
