He bumped into her on a casual friday at about lunch time. He was away from the office for a meeting and then decided to have lunch with his friends for a change, especially with all that junk food they bring to the office. Change is good, the food is great, the bunch of idiots he calls friends complete his day. She was with her cousins and friends. She stood out. her smile was breath taking, Her eyes, well they were inviting and held stories. She made eye contact with him half an hour into their meal. She knew he was something, not in a dollar kind of way, although he was a stand out himself, laid back and all. It was his charismatic appeal and feel from a distance.

The rest was history.

Their fast paced tango was here and there in a blink. They were madly, deeply, fanatically in love. He saw in her his completeness and softness. She saw in him her dreams and childhood knight in shining armor. It was magical, yet logical and real. They uttered in one another’s ears what no one could make any sense of, yet to them it sent love vibes and ticklish playful caresses down their spines. Their days were full of activities and combined fun. There was no me in them, it was all an act of self contained love and happiness. Agendas were not apparent nor hidden. They came to a point where they could feel one another miles apart. It was love at first bite.

He had been saving before he met her, he was an active lively person, wild by nature, saving to him was a burden. Although he has intense financial knowledge and business interactions, he was a slave to his ambitions and desires. He was well travelled and carried a dream wherever he went. He wanted to find a far away place and steal someone’s heart one day and live there forever. Finally! he thought as he talked his lover into it. It took him a while until he managed, especially with a 5 year old son. She accepted willingly and wholeheartedly to his fantasy. Just to see his eyes in the morning, every morning while he is living it would be a thing to die for. It was mad love at its best, sometimes your belief of what love really is can be misguiding.

She was feeling the strangest of feelings taking over her, lifting her to higher grounds, bypassing all known love boundaries.

They move away and leave it all behind, promising to stay in touch with their loved ones. Their loved ones cry in happiness and sadness to see them leave. The son is extremely psyched up, for he is the combination of two great people, how great is this kid?

On a tropical island in some ocean and some natives working on the many plantations they find their nest. In a dream come true story they rule the scene and each continues to blossom. The boy is a crazy little one, so bright and intelligent he scares his parents. His mind would be a fascinating place to explore. The father lover makes use of his knowledge and starts to make more money to feed and please his small family. The Mrs.Love is so in to her hubby and son she completes them and has her own gig going on, love is in the air.

Splashing and playing around daily was a ritual, for here the fun was 80% and the work was less than 10% they never could figure out the other 10%? the island visitors would envy them for their courage and lifestyle, and then a doubtful BUT at the end of each conversation, the couple laughed back and continued swimming. When you’re that much in love, you start to wonder how great can it get? but when you don’t have an ending point, you go on loving. The sad things in life never matter, and when they do, they hurt.

At a party the two are dancing away and suddenly, out of no where, she collapses, she faints, she is moved to a hospital, at the ER waiting area, a young male doctor hands him her diamond wedding bands to keep for safety.

Cancer he is told, and its spreading fast, too fast, days are all she’s got. in a single moment all his life crumbles, confusion fills his rooms, frustration that nothing can be done takes its toll on him, he looks at his son in the other room and breaks to pieces. She dies that night in her sleep while he has her in his arms. He loves to cuddle up, she adores it, her last breaths were swift and fast like an angel departing to an unknown place in the skies above us. His son walked in and asked him if she is dead, and his father looks at him in total despair and broken heart manner, what can he say? the son awaits the answer and asks one more time, yes, he answers, and off the boy runs.

After the funeral the fact keeps coming back at him, the facts that seem to expand as he breathes, he is faced with a bitter reality, he is tragically in a state of shock and disbelief for every waking hour. He cannot let go. What will he do now? where will he go? how can he manage? so many questions need immediate answers, he chooses to cry. As he cries his child gives him that last blow in the face:

“Daddy… I want to die. How can I do it? please help me”. “Why son?” he screams in tears…

“I want to be with mommy”, replies the little voice.

When you say “I Love you darling” do you really mean it? and do you know what it really is?

Love triangles are a rare breed, when you find one, cherish every waking hour and day, live your dreams together, make new years look like a normal day, go ahead and spoil yourself and indulge in the only real thing left on this planet.
