So after that First Night when we laid our eyes on each other.. the love story of Zel and Mie began..

We went on our separate ways heading home after the YP meeting with the strong urge to see him again. I hadn't slept right away. I was thinking when could I lay my eyes on him again. I knew little of him. I even didn't know if he still studying or has graduated already. It was just a mere introduction at a very short while. I guess I would see him again on the next Young People's meeting.. So I was excited again for another YP gathering. LOL, the Lord must have an arching brows on me. Hey child, you are excited for the meeting not because of the spiritual enjoyment but because of a brother.. "oh sorry My Lord, it's not like that, I was enjoying every bit of life supply , at the same time enjoying the presence of a prospective brother" ha ha.

True to my thoughts , I saw him again. And for the second time, again he was late. I thought he look cuter than the last week. He was wearing red that time. He look more babier and yummier? Ha ha, forgive me for my words. Anyway, that was pure lusting on the sense. I knew I was not in love. Love was the last thing I could think on those days. I was sad that night as it turned out that we didn't have a chance to get closer. So I just concluded that there would be no chance, and anyway I had come to my senses that I am no good for him. It was only right to cut that craziness short as there was no way he would like me if he knows the real me. We went home. I made up my mind, I would erase my "crush" on him. However, fate was playing on me. After I made that vow to myself, a dorm mate called me as someone downstairs was looking for me. I was puzzled. Who would came looking for me at that almost 10 o'clock in the evening. I went down and gosh.. it was him, Zel with brother Sonny and RC. OH my God , I forgot my vow. LOL..

He came to talk and talk and know me. That was the first time, he called me my nickname, "Mie"
I guess I have told you that he is the single person in the universe who calls me that name. Until now that's what he calls me. I said why gave me that name? I am Shelo and that's my popular nickname. He said , "I want to call you Mie and I like it." He invited me to eat barbecue. So we went out to eat.

He was seen again at our dorm the next evening and the next evenings... Hmmm , he must be interested with me that time already. We talked until late hours about anything under the sun. One night, it was time for him to go home. I led him downstairs. That part of the stair was dark as the main light on the living room was switched off. He suddenly pulled me and kissed me on the lips. I was stunned. I can't move. There seemed to be a magnet pulling me to him. His lips was soft, I can remember clearly. Ha ha. I was torn between kissing back or not. I kissed back anyway. LOL. After the kiss, all I can say was, "ikaw ha"... I felt shy and just bid him goodnight. When he reached home he called me on the mobile and said, "I love You".. I answered, " You don't know anything about me .. Treat that kiss as nothing." But according to him, "for me we are on already".

Of course I love the thought. He was the first brother in faith to have a relationship with me if that was the case. However, I was hesitant. I never trusted his feelings. He knew so little of me. I maybe a charmer and so friendly, but I have a dark past and I can't gamble my self to be hurt again. I felt that I was not worthy of anybody's love anymore. My self esteem was greatly damaged. You see , I have disgraced myself with somebody who was not even worthy to be a father of my two children and was not even my boyfriend (another story..) Yes, I have two children that time already. He maybe cannot tell it from my looks and disposition, but alas Aljodon and Al'jered were already present. They were spawned by somebody I don't even want to remember anymore. However, dont get me wrong. I love my children and though they products of a great mistake, they are still blessings from the Lord. I even welcome the thought of ending growing old without a partner as long as I have my children. I have always asked for the Lord's forgiveness that I have not glorified His name and still dreamed that He would arrange me into my resting place , my eternal satisfaction.

Could he be the answer? How I wanted him to be, but of course I would hurt myself if he is not the one. So I avoided him as much as I can. But Zel kept on coming back for me while I kept on hiding and giving alibis. Finally, I had the courage to talk to him and I thought that would be the last. I said to him, " You should not love me, I am no one whom you could be proud of in front of your family and friends.. There are lots of girls out there who are worthy of your affection.." But His answer touched me, " Mie, I know you are afraid because of your past. If you are thinking of your two sons, why bother? Have you thought that I have no knowledge of it?, Of course, many from the church know about your past, how could I not? But I don't mind if you have two children, I can accept them, they are from the Lord. I love you Mie, please believe me".. Tears fell down and I started crying and there and then I knew love blossomed..

How I thanked the Lord for the answered prayer. Right that moment I gave him my heart, my love and affection which grew through the joys and pains of relationship. I have found the one my heart longs for. The one who could make me at home in his heart.
