Today's Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare), Maria and Tony (west side story), Daniel and Catarina (Walang Hanggan) different people same love story. Two different families in the state of rivalry. A Love that needs to conquer all odds. 

Love  knows no boundaries. Love Conquers all. Fight for the person you love. Never give up, love is always worth fighting for. No can accuse you of falling in love with the wrong person, if inside you know he is the one. Love isn't suppose to be easy, its suppose to be worth it. 

When you read and hear these words, fighting for love sounds so easy. But what if one day you stand in the situation. When the world tells you he's not the one and that you do not deserve him. When parents intrude and try to keep you two apart. When everybody is questioning you if the love is even worth fighting for.  When everything and eveyone is poining out that what you have is wrong love. Would you still hold on? would you still fight for love? Would you still think he or she is the one?

Ana a college girl and daughter of a well known family has lived her life trying to meet the expectations of her parents and John a happy go lucky guy, who flows with life just as it is. Their paths crossed, became friends and after 3 months were together and happily in love. At the intro of their relationship people were surprised and more so were Ana's parents. 

At the first month there was an ongoing disagreement between the parents of Ana and John. And both parents want Ana and John separated. Ana fought for john and every night cries thinking if the the tears and fight is worth is or what would john do if he is in the situation or is he even doing the same? The two met one night, talked and to Ana's surprise the first time she saw john cried. John was defending the same thing Ana was doing with her parents ("hindi naman ung magulang mo ung linigawan ko kundi ikaw", "sayang lang lahat kapag naghiwalay tayo", "hindi naman sila ung masasaktan") and both promised to never let go ("i love you, basta walang bibitaw".)

Both parents finally agreed to let it be, still John could feel the awkward treatment of Ana's parents to him unlike his parent's treatment to Ana making her feel a part of the family ("ang sa akin lang, basta mahal ang anak ko mahal ko rin yan, tatanggapin namin.") . The next two months were going smooth, ok and happy, but just like any other relationship they went through small, big and tough fights. Days and another month passes by and John started to change. There were more doubts, fights, coldness and misunderstanding (hindi ko alam kung ano pang kulang sa akin." "Minsan iniisip ko kung ginamit mo lang ako pang display o panakip butas sa ex mo." "Your too perfect para mapunta lang sa akin." and before their seventh month, Ana decided to finally let go ("yung nag iba ka, yung pag neglect mo, pag take for granted lahat yan tiniis ko kasi umasa akong magbabago ka, pero yan mukhang hndi na." "dati ko pa gustong bumitaw kaso tiniis ko lahat kasi may promise tayo, walang bibitaw diba at mahal kita", "hndi n b pdeng ayusin ntin toh" "ayoko na.", "i'm sorry ").

Ana went to her province broken hearted and hoping that the time and place would heal her heart. The first two months of moving on felt like hell for Ana. Crying every night and hiding the pain in the morning. June, Ana went back to Manila. She devoted her time with friends, college and mostly sports. Ana tried every day to avoid john until he messaged her. John wants Ana Back into his life again and Ana knowing how much John broke her heart gave him time to make up with his mistakes and eventually planned to get back together.

Ana told her friends and it was a little easy and when it was time to tell her parents of it, she was more than worried. Talking to her mom first didn't turned out the way she wanted and understands the point of her mom. That night Ana texted John that getting back together is not a good idea. She's ending everything. John was sad but eventually accepted the decision. The next day in the afternoon, Ana received a text from an unkown number telling her how much of a lost it is ("alam mo ung nasa harap na kita pero hndi pa din kta makuha", "anong gusto mo magpaparty ako na wala na tayo". "t*ng ina! akala ko pde na tyo mging masaya ulit, tapos by the end of the day malalaman ko last na yun."). That night Ana met up with john. Both were in a serious conversation about the situation they are in, still has decided to be back together without the knowledge of their parents. 

The next months of being back together were happier than before, Ana loved John better now and is now more mature in handling their relationship. Still the ongoing feud between Ana and John's parents are still existing making it hard for them to reveal. As to John's parents they are ok with the two getting back but the opposite to Ana's parents.  Ana and John are not keeping this forever but just waiting for the perfect time and enjoying the moment together.

According to Ana no love is perfect and you cannot dictate love. You cannot tell one person to not love that person if you are not in the situation. If you are not feeling the same way she feels. Ana is not saying that she's a hundred precent sure that John is the one or she can see a future with john but for all she knows, they are in the process of making things better. That as long as she is happy and in love with the guy she is with today, only time and god knows if he is the one in the future. Love is not an instant thing and so is a relationship. Its needs time, effort, understanding and chance for better things. As a couple, you grow together and from there you make it worth while.

They do say that do not base your relationship decisions on other people's advice, coz they are not the ones who will stick with the results or suffer the consequences. Follow your heart but bring your mind with you. Live young and enjoy your youth, so that when your old you have something to reminisce and laugh at.
