Forbidden Love

Actually, I remember a story, it happened many years ago.  However, even at this time, people  can still relate to it because it is about feelings; not just any feelings, but of love.  Stories that tickles the heart will never die. It lives on, it goes beyond the existence of those concern.  Love stories are meant to stay as long as humans will exist.

 Let me take your imagination to a small village, with only a few inhabitants, located in a remote part of the Philippines. The sun is smiling, there were kids playing, enjoying the gentle breeze that supplements the warmth during that day.  In that group of kids, there was a boy and a girl, they were cousins.  The two of them enjoyed each other’s company, but later circumstances forced them to part ways.  They have not been together for about 10 years, then the unexpected happened.  Both their families wanted to see each other again, and so they did.

 The boy and the girl saw each other too, but this time, they were not kids anymore.  The boy became a handsome man and the girl a beautiful woman. They talked for a while and then walked their way to the old spot, the place where they once played. It was a memorable reunion. Their eyes met, each of them felt something, a feeling reserved only for lovers. Yet, their mouth were silent, they cannot tell each other the truth. Cousins are not allowed to feel inlove with each other, but sometimes love really gets through. As the bible says in Song of Solomon 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love.
