Legion of nights ago, Hon and I watched Humor Has It. The flick was an ok-ok film but what made it remarkably astounding for me is the way some of the words or scenes touched my sometimes confused mind and disgusted soul.
Not that I am proud of it but our relationship has gone through sundry tests and fire worthy of the Greeks - caused by others and our own blunders too. Among the many fluffs, my "favorite" is the classic betrayal incidents that caused me so much - numerous sleepless days and nights, never ending cry-ola moments, several meet ups with friends just so I can unleash the "trouble" the "mild" betrayal has caused me and not to mention a certain trauma. Having been betrayed by somebody you dreamed of spending the rest of your life with is a major knock out like no other. But I have learned to accept that the ones you loved the most are those who can hurt you the most, that we all have fallen and committed mistakes.
After all the drama, soap opera like dialogue and shedding buckets of tears, we both have managed to learn from our mistakes - making sure that we don't commit the same mistakes again. Several times as we journey hand in hand, I'd get tempted to let go and embrace single blessedness but as always, my man refuses to give up. To him, our relationship has a great chance of lasting a lifetime - with the quality of our daily conversations, the sacrifices we have chosen to make, the tests, laughter and the tears. We are already one, as he would put it - "there's no you or me, only us". And like what he wrote in his testimonial for me - "nobody has ever loved me the way she does."
Going back to the movie, there was a scene there wherein Sarah (played by Jennifer Aniston) was asking her Dad some questions about the time when her Mom went to Mexico and slept with another man the week before they tie the knot. She asked her Dad what made her Mom went back to Pasadena and married her Dad. And he lovingly answered "because she loves me and she said that she can build a life with me."
That statement hit me the hardest. Now it is really clear to me, that the reason why Hon had chosen for my hands back simply because he loves me and is willing to build a life with me as he also continually reminds me that love is a commitment - despite and in spite of.
