LOVE, Kloudiia

I was watching a Korean drama the other night, and what the father of the wife said struck me. He had noticed how his son-in-law held his daughter’s hands and deduced that the couple must be in love with each other. Very much in love.

On the other side, the couple weren’t aware that such a wonderful thing is taking place between them. Ok, now you must be getting really confused. What happened was, theirs was an arranged marriage. While the lady fell in love with on their first blind date, the guy went into the marriage as he was touched by her happiness and of course, her declaration of love. All these should go well, if not for the fact that he was secretly in love with his childhood friend since, that’s right, childhood.

So, the lady held on to the belief that he doesn’t love her, and so did he! But, little did they know that love could really have begun to blossom between them as they learn to respect each other, care for each other and to live together as a married couple. Well till now, as the drama continues to unfold more incidents, whether or not real love is burgeoning – my guess is as good as the couple in reel life I suppose. Until they learn how to sort out issues of trust, and letting go of the past.

But, assuming that they are indeed falling in love, and without knowing it.

Have you met such couples in real life? They usually started out as friends, and without knowing it, through their normal care, concern, support for each other in bad times, that the seed for a strong love has been planted and is growing steadily.  

Many times they aren’t aware of such feelings, because they aren’t the type that will send you flying to the moon or make your heart flutter. On the contrary, it is the type that sets your troubled heart at ease, calms your anxious soul and double up your joy and happiness! It is smooth-flowing but never in huge currents. Maybe that’s the reason why it’s undetected, and it takes a keen observation from a third party, usually someone close to the couple or at least one half of the couple to notice the slight change in the emotion.

Isn’t this a wonderful way to fall in love too? That it doesn’t have to be head-over-heels, yet is never failing to be present, and so sweet. 

In my opinion, this can be a pretty nice way to start a romance… and they usually will go a long way too.
