"ONCE UPON A SWIPE"

There was a man working in a far-away land, called Osaka, Japan.

While there was a woman, living in Manila, busy figuring out her after-college life.

Suddenly, an online app emerged. He signed up.
She didn't (as far as she remembers)

The man was 'liked' by the woman. While the woman had no idea of everything.

Thrilled, he swiped right. Then, she was awaken by a notif stating that a certain EngrNeo "liked her back"

Eh?

A simple 'hi' turned to "Kumusta? Kumain ka na." Then, all words became sweet each day passing by, from lively banters, exchange of corny pickup lines, spontaneous chats from dawn to dusk, up to the Valentine's day (confession) surprise, crush-love thrived.

She promised herself not to fall in love with an Engineer, because she knew that an "Engineer" as boyfriend will be out of her league. Maybe she was just insecure since it is her frustrated dream.

But God is indeed the Greatest Planner/Cupid/Writer of all time.

He knew that she needs a "man,"

A man who will be as patient, quiet, calm, steady and understanding as he is. A man who will understand and support her despite being in her crazy self; overthinking, acting hastily, being restlessly eager, a bit impatient and easily annoyed. She was a stubborn Princess, who shows less of her soft heart.

However, he found her deep within. He noticed her while she is hiding, he noticed how she always cares, how smart she is, how she does everything with passion, how nice, brave, sensible, thoughtful, and kind she is. His love prosper.

Oh, how she just love to hide herself, maybe as a shield to protect. However, he deciphered.

He listened, while she rants. He waited, while she continue to reach her ultimate "A-T-T-Y."

He worked, while she studies. He showered him all the love, effort, support, time and gifts, while she is being preoccupied.

Little did she know, he became her constant, her strength, motivation, her filler, her sure blanket while she is loosing her ground.

He is always there engineering her life. He keeps her sane and alive. He has been her foundation, who completed every piece missing in her life.

He prays for her, while she prays for him. They both believe in GOD.

When she feels really uncertain, clueless, empty and problematic, where days feels like some yesterday's copycat, he patiently listened.

When she feels that her dream is taking too long to achieve, he waited.

In no time, she found herself loving him, he continues to love her knowing no distance, respecting her boundaries and honoring her parents, families, and extended families.

Now is their right time. It is Angel's time to enter the NEO LIFE. While, it is his New Life with someone like ANGEL.
