Dear
alittlethingcalledRAGSAK,
Thank
you for giving me this opportunity to share to the whole world my unexpected
kind of love story. I never thought that
in those moments of almost losing hope, I never gave up. That's a good thing about me. Giving up never existed in my vocabulary. I did
everything to find my other half, it wasn’t an easy journey. I wished, I prayed hard, I tried a magic and
I risked. But God is good. In unexpected
moment, He granted me not only what I wished for but the best man who was really
meant to give me an everlasting love and happiness.
I could
still feel the thrill while writing this…
There's one thing in my life I couldn't deny, the fact that I also enjoyed
being single. Even if my family kept bombarding me to look for a husband and get hitched as soon as possible. I am the eldest that's why they kept pushing me. Most of my friends
were married and have their kids. After
eating, they usually go in front of the computer and talk to their families
back home. I could see them very happy and
some of them were even crying because they miss their families so much especially
their children. I was the only fellow in
our group wherein after 20 minutes of chatting with my tatang and nanang back
home that’s all. All my siblings have their own families already. I miss my family especially my parents but I
couldn’t do anything, I have to sacrifice myself for the sake of my tatang and
nanang. Even if I could talk to them in
the internet, I could still feel the longing to be with them that Christmas. That was the saddest Christmas, I’ve ever had
here in Canada, not being with my own family.
I’ve been praying, wanting and really wishing for someone who will come
my way. There is one thing I have long decided to do and that is to get
married.
I admit,
I was a desperate fellow longing for someone to be with me. Until such time I decided to use magic, the
Fung Shui magic. I did all what the Fung
Shui master told me, I needed to do something and seriously work on it. While waiting, I signed up in this internet
site, signed up only and no chatting because there is a special fee when you
chat. So I posted there: “I’m looking for a husband.” After two weeks, nothing happened until I decided to post
my cell phone number. Again, after quite
some time, I almost lose hope… no calls or even just a message… So I forgot
everything about the internet site.
Last
January 6, someone gave me a call asking if I am Aryz and I said yes. I was so excited during this time and
given a full blast of hope. Imagine a
man was on the other line. I was really
surprised! His name is Patrice. He said he really likes my voice and since then we never missed out any day not to get in touch over the phone. Oh well, during that
time I was still hoping for others to call and send me a message because I was
actually expecting at least 1000 followers (heheheh).
But it didn’t happen. He was the
only one who was so consistent. After 3
weeks of constant conversation over the phone, he wanted to meet me personally.
What he knew was, I’m 250 lbs. because that’s what I posted in the
internet site. He told me he could teach me to go on a diet because he is a vegan. There was an instant thrill in my heart! I
told myself… this is it!
Feb 14,
2011, it was snowing hard outside but still, he insisted to pursue with our
date. He fetched me at work. When we were dating, I frankly told him that
I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend but a husband.
He was just smiling. We stayed
long in the restaurant, he kept telling stories about his family, everything
about him. I wanted to go home already
but he kept talking. Until a bouquet of
flowers was delivered in our table, the reason why we stayed long, he ordered
that for me. Honestly, in my entire
life, that was my first time to receive a bouquet of flowers. I almost cried but I was trying to control my
tears of joy. I kept smiling. I would
say he’s really a gentleman because he even brought me home. That was one of the sweetest nights I’ve ever
had, take note: for the first time. The
following morning when I looked at the bouquet of flowers again, there was this
small card, I didn’t notice it last night, written on it … “I want you to be with me forever”
at first, I cannot breath as in! and after that, tears kept falling. I couldn’t control it anymore, I couldn’t
understand the feeling. It felt so
good! I was indeed so happy that time. I
didn’t expect someone in an unexpected moment will give me that message. I kept
looking at the card, it wasn’t a joke, I swear!
Since
then we always see each other and had the chance to get to know each other well. He is kind, sweet, responsible and most of
all loving. The qualities I’ve been wanting for a man. He always proposed to me every 14th
of the month. He always spilled the titillating words that every woman wishes for “Will you marry me?” I ignored it at first
because it’s quite too fast for me. One
time, I was chatting with my tatang and he asked me if he could talk to my father
for a moment. I actually gave him the
chance to talk to my father. I didn’t
really know what they talked about, but the following day my inang was so excited. She told me that I am going to tie the knot
soon. I asked my inang, who told her
that. It was my tatang. Last night when Patrice talked to my tatang,
he actually asked for the blessing from my father to marry me. Honestly, I couldn’t move…I couldn’t breathe,
is this true? I was overwhelmed with
what is happening around me. Time flies
so fast and I couldn’t catch. Until I
slapped my face a bit, I slapped again the second and the third time… and hey
wake up Zyra! You are not going to be single anymore! That’s the end of the
loneliness and wanting and wishing moments.
Face the reality now… YOU ARE
GETTING MARRIED SOON! That’s what I appreciate about this man I
married, he highly respect my parents.
This is it! At last! I was jumping for joy! As if I won a jackpot prize!
I was
expecting we are going to have the wedding end of 2011 or maybe 2012. But after six months, that was July 9, 2011, when
we got married. We promised in front of
a judge that we will love each other till death do us part. This was my
happiest moment. I felt so blessed
and soooo beautiful during that day. My wish came true at last. The man I’ve been longing, the man I’ve been
wanting, the man I’ve been wishing is just in this corner of Quebec here in
Canada.
I feel
so wealthy because of the unceasing love he gave me every day of my life. Another blessing, when we were given a gift of an
adorable and beautiful daughter. Every
day whenever I wake up… that secure feeling that I’m no longer alone... the
angelic face of a baby I have conceived...looking at the face of my Patrice...
makes me fall in love again and again. Nothing in this world will reciprocate my love
with these precious jewels I have with me right now, my own family. I hope even in death, we will still be together forever.
Never
lose HOPE,
Zyra Albert
Quebec, Canada
