When Destiny Plays

Have you ever fall in love? (I hate asking this question but…) If yes, then I’m sure you already know the feeling when you witness a real life magic. Not a literal magic on a magic show, where in a bunny suddenly appears from a magician’s hat. I’m talking about the magic made by fate, also called “destiny”. It is the same thing that plays a great role to the Hong Kong - Singaporean movie, Turn Left, Turn Right.

This movie is all about a two person that are destined for each other but being parted by the playful fate. Just like a typical hopeless romantic person, John and Eve wants to find their destiny and there, they found each other. Funny, because they met before, even when they are young but because of some circumstance they never get in touch, same as in present. There is no easy happy after and it seems that fate is having fun of them. They even meet this two crazy persons that make the situation even worse, Ruby (a waitress/delivery girl who likes John) and Dr. Hu (Eve’s creepy stalker). As I said, fate is the reason why they are apart but it is also the reason why they meet again at the end. 

Its kind a tricky, so let me tell you some cliché scenario that might be quiet similar to this story. Because, honestly, I think it is somehow unrealistic. I mean there is a less possibility that it happens in real life. (So here is it...)

Have you experienced that moment when you always find each other in a random time and place, then every time you see him, it feels like everything drives so slow. You can’t help to wonder why on earth you always meet. Then, as the time pass, you get attach to him. You are starting to love his presence, to enjoy your moments and to realize that you are falling.

What if the saddest part come? Where in, he's gone for no reason. Then you just have nothing to do but to cry; wishing him to come back knowing he won’t and escaping the fact that the following days aren’t the same just like before. It’s like every time you miss him is equivalent to every wounds that you gain. As if you are being stub by the memories that supposed to make you smile and being killed by the reality that make you cry. 

I can’t blame you if you start asking “Why do I have to meet him, if in the end, he’s not going to stay?” or “What’s the point of having this feeling, if at the first place , we’re not meant to be?” Sooner or later, you’ll get tired and numb of pain, until you are finally ready to let go.

But, what if he comes back, bringing all the memories and the feelings from the past that you try to forget. What would you do if you feel the “same” feeling you used to have before, when once again, everything drives so slow?

That’s how it goes in real life situation. But if I were you I would prefer the one which in the movie because it has a touch of comedy and a sudden twist. We don’t have to take all things seriously. I’m not going to say that “Let the fate works on it,” for I believe the other way around, that’s why I leave a hanging question in the scenario…It is because, you’re the one who creates your destiny, it is not the destiny who creates you.
