Everything happens for the RIGHT reason

I went to work full of hope and excitement. It was one of those days when you know no matter how hard it would get, nothing would ruin your mood because at the end of the tunnel, you will find a loved one who will be waiting for you. At least this is what I thought at that time. On such days, I take flights that are extremely demanding because I can’t care less. I was going to see my boyfriend and that was all that mattered.

Once everyone was on board, there was a very lovely couple that took my attention right from boarding. They were around the middle age and they both were carrying themselves very well. According to the British, middle age starts at the age of 55 and it ends in 70s.
It was not just that they looked really well, but also the love I saw in their eyes for each other was special. For me, they were settling an example of how any couple should be. I wish I find a man who will have such care and love in his eyes for me that I saw in this man’s eyes for his wife.

For the next eleven hours of the flight, they talked to each other, held hands even when they were asleep and shared the food.

The beauty of my job is that I can talk to people and get to know them better. Through the flight, the couple and I had great conversations from time to time and a lot of fun laughing and joking. This is why I love my job. I am the kind of person who can have conversations with you during my sleep. I feel like I am on a holiday constantly.

Coming back to the couple, all of the staff loved them and admired how young the wife looked even though she wasn’t as young as we thought. I felt sad when the flight was over after all the amazing time I had on board with this family.

I met my boyfriend that day and all I talked about was the couple I met on the flight. For the next two weeks I was blaming myself for not exchanging contacts with them.

Two weeks later, I went to the same destination to meet the one I thought was “the one” and while I stood for boarding, filled with second thoughts about my relationship, a man with a big smile stood near me. I looked at him and my heart filled with warmth. With a smile I said, “Sir, I know you!” he looked at me and said, “I know you too!” and he went to his seat. After boarding a few more people, my face just illuminated.

I went straight to him and I couldn’t stop talking about the flight I took with him and his wife two weeks earlier and how impactful they were together. He said, “You know what? My wife and I couldn’t stop talking about you and how kind you were that day. You need to get in contact with my wife and tell her the exact same things you told me, she will be so happy!”

As soon as I landed, I sent her an email telling her about the positive impact she and her husband had and how they became an example for me. Since that day, we are in contact. They came to Dubai once for business but we made sure to meet, and I went on a holiday trip just to see them. I feel like they are my second parents.

My relationship with my boyfriend ended, but one thing I learned from the disastrous relationship was that even if things go wrong and not the way you want them to be, everything happens for a reason. It might not be the reason we want, but God has a plan for all of us. You can fight against a hurricane but if something is not meant to be, it won’t be and when something is meant to happen, it will happen. 

My relationship with one person ended but I found a new relation with two lovely people. Yes, it is a different kind of relationship, but it has its own special joy and warmth.

You might not find the life partner you wish to find, but while you are looking for one, you will make some different kind of friends, like the couple, who will be your guide to lead a better life as they won’t have any selfish incentives. Treasure them!
