John and Elaine, were just two random human beings on earth. Each with their own significance. They were born as how other people would have. Despite of a million
population on the earth, who would know whom his or her will meet as a life companion.Ways we got introduced to each other might never be identical. One could have met intentionally while others met unexpectedly. Moreover, our life companion could be or entirely different whom we expect!
John, a 30 year old assistant lecturer at the state university, was a man who is highly passionated in his career. The man having a decent appearance did attract some of the female lecturers who were even older than him. Everyone had one common question at the time.
"I wonder who his girlfriend is? Or is he just a lone single?"
This remained as a mystery to whom who had attention on him. However, mysteries somehow sure must be unveiled someday right?
The city community centre hosted a new type of event. Our man who usually stays away from events decided to check this out. The event was named "mysterious messenger". It was an event in which people can send postcards to the person they intend without the sender being revealed!
Majority of the population participated in the event. One of them our man Mr. John the university assistant lecturer. There was a teenage girl he had his attention on since a past few weeks. Though what unfortunate for our man was the girl's name! He had no idea what her name was. He just spotted her entering and leaving the library at the university. In his postcard, he wrote...
" Dear Ms. Little Anonymous..
Young and industrious girl is the type I had been looking for. Sorry for not knowing your name. It will be good to meet you and be friends!"The man with full confidence threw the letter into the central mail chatter box. Beliveing at most that the letter will reach to that girl.
Days passed, weeks gone. Nothing has been heard about the mail. The man checked his social media all day in case something might pop up.
However......
A reply came back from the community centre stating that the person he intended wanted to meet with him. His joy was peaked and pleasures fullfilled.
He came to the cafe which was included in the letter. The letter even had precise details on which table she would be waiting! Then he scanned the area to find the chair until something that shocked......
What he saw was an elegant woman instead of the girl, at the table. He was thrilled however approached her.
John asked " May I know your name?"
Elaine: " Elaine! And you?"
John: 'John! You're looking good today!"
The two had a long conversation and initiated a friendship. A friendship on mature age soon had to become a relationship, isn't it?
The man somehow had doubts! The girl was whom he intended. Elaine wasn't worse but deviated from whom he intended. John got too curious that he decided to find out!
John asked out elaine whether she participated in the event! Elained answered that she did. Then knowing soon what was turned out to be just a mistake....
Elaine and John did write their postcards. However, poor details led them to wrong people but commenced the events to the birth of a couple.
John at last said...
"Too far to go back! Let's just walk further"
Elaine and John soon became a couple whom unintentionally met!
