It’s been a nice hand, more precisely, a full house,
with three Queens and two Kings
It’s been a roller coaster… living and moving…
And adjusting… and moving again.
They traveled because of work,
They moved because it’s their passion.
It’s been nine years and eleven months
Since the boy and the girl have wed.
One decade awaits to celebrate their togetherness
But it was not always like that
The girl had fears
And yet, they were so alike…
The girl had left her home country,
Her job would take her to a far away land
The boy would wait for her.
He had found a job, he had finished school.
His job would yet take him to far away lands
But the boy liked to travel
And so did the girl.
There have been financial difficulties.
There have been physical distances
There have been emotional challenges
But the boy and the girl have never given up.
That boy and that girl had met some twelve years back
And could not wait to meet up again… and again…
They traveled to see each other
They traveled because of work.
They traveled to unknown places, for the ordinary pleasures of moving, seeing and learning…
Even if there had been no money to travel, they would still do it
And simply pay for it later.
Some twelve years ago,
The boy had gone to the girl’s home country
To learn a new language,
To learn a new culture,
To find himself into a whole new adventure.
Without even looking for it,
He discovered love
And so did the girl.
Neither one of them had ever believed in love at first sight.
The boy and the girl were probably the most skeptical people on the face of the Earth,
But those two were so wrong!
And they found what they were missing, on each other
Some twelve years back…
Now, the boy and the girl have aged
And they are proud to show their hand: they’ve got the most perfect full house
With three Queens and two Kings….♥
