TAG: Love Story

How many among us still remember the song, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW, sung by Michael Buble and if I've not mistaken, this song was popular in the year of 1944.

This lovely and romantic song was the favorite of my in-laws. I also love this song and every time I hear it, a feeling inside me, inspires me to write a love story related to this song, and so here I am

The story is about the love and frustration of a male driver who suffered intense pain because his feelings have not confessed to the woman he loved, which gave him more grief.

Many ask, is love always been a failure? Is wealth a hindrance between lovers? Well, it's difficult to answer but sometimes true to real life.

Thus became the story of a poor guy Roberto, but he was attracted and loved in secret to a rich woman, Corazon, who happened to be his employer. He worked with Corazon as a personal driver.

Roberto was kind and trustworthy.

"Roberto, get the car ready I have to go to my friend Liza," said Corazon.

"Yes, ma'am," Roberto replied while cleaning the car.

"Roberto, how many times do I have to tell you that, when only the two of us talk together, don't call me ma'am? Have you forgotten what I have told you?", said Corazon, who was a little bit annoyed.

"Yes, ma'am", Roberto's reply as if he suddenly forgot what Corazon has instructed to him.

"Roberto what did I say again?", Corazon reminded Roberto of what she said to him

"Oh, I'm sorry, Corazon I forgot"

"And another thing I don't want was that you considered me an adult person, who you always say OPO. I don't like to be respected in that way, because I'm still young, okay?"

Corazon is not like her parents, who look down on others, particularly the poor. She is kind and understandable, the characteristic of Corazon that Roberto admires.

Every time Roberto drives Corazon, they often talk as if they are not strangers to one another.

Whenever Corazon is upset, she always approaches Roberto and confides about her dissatisfaction with the way her parents treated her when it comes to her personal feelings. For that matter, only Roberto understands her, the reason she treated Roberto as a true friend and not just a helper.

When they are half-way, Corazon changed her mind.

"Roberto, I'm not going to my friend anymore, just turn the car and bring it to a place where I can relax, a windy place maybe, so that I can forget my problems, even in a short time.

Corazon always thinks about getting married to a man she never loves but has chosen by her parents to be her future husband. But, how could she marries a man, she doesn't love.

Roberto drove the car to Roxas Blvd. They looked for a place with a nice view and there, he stopped the car. They didn't even get off the car, but instead, they just opened the side windows to inhale the fresh breeze coming from the sea.

"You know Roberto... wait why your name is so long? I'll just call you Berto even it's not good to hear at", said Corazon, and she laughed.

Roberto just smiled and said, "Well, as you wish, you're the boss."

Corazon continues. "Berto, why are my parents like that? They are the ones who follow the course of my life, even to the extent, of choosing my future husband?", said Corazon with a sentiment.

"Cora, you have to respect what your parents decide for you because that is good for you", Roberto's advice.

"Yes, but don't I have the right to be happy? Choose what I want to be with my whole life? Is wealth the only basis of love? What about me? Does my heart have no right to choose to be loved, even when it is poor or rich?", Corazon said as if her life was so tight that she didn't even notice that her tears were flowing.

Corazon continues, "I wish we had been, poorer and maybe, in that case, I could change the pace of my life.

"The problem you have Cora is difficult, but in any case, you must follow your parents. Maybe you think it would be unfair for you but later on, you will analyze that everything would be for the better", said Roberto without Corazon's knowledge that he will be affected too much by Corazon's problem.

Roberto saw Corazon's flowing tears and wanted to embrace her. He wanted to bring Corazon's tearful face to his shoulder to pour out her bitterness. And he felt in his heart all Corazon's sentiment as he was also hurt because he loves Corazon, the woman who he secretly loved. He wanted to confess to Corazon about his feelings, but he couldn't because he knew that Corazon's parents would not agree to him.

Roberto is handsome and kind and articulate, the qualities a young man that most pretty women were looking for.

Every time Roberto got home, he felt better. Fortunately, for his day job, he was able to serve Corazon, the only woman he loves so much.

Roberto's life has always been that way almost every day as well as of that Corazon's. They both live in dreams, dreams that are difficult to achieve because of so many obstacles in life.

Until that moment, Roberto could no longer serve Corazon because she was going to marry the man her parents liked for her.

"I wish you happiness, even if I love you and tell you how much I love you that will never happen", Roberto had just told himself that in his heart there was no regret, that he had never told Corazon.

Roberto was very sad and because he couldn't see Corazon in the hands of someone, he decided to resign from his work as a personal driver of Corazon.

Every time he thought of Corazon there was remorse as to why he hadn't let his feelings to confess to Corazon even though he knew there was no purpose whatsoever, but at least he said to Corazon he loved her.

A month later, Roberto had heard that Corazon got married.

Roberto locked himself in his room and thought of playing his favorite song, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW.

And with each song's lyrics, it seems of hurting his heart. He couldn't hold back the tears as he thought about Corazon.

"YOU'LL NEVER KNOW JUST HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW JUST HOW MUCH I CARE

AND IF I TRIED, I STILL COULDN'T HIDE MY LOVE FOR YOU

YOU OUGHT TO KNOW, FOR HAVEN'T I TOLD YOU SO

A MILLION OR MORE TIMES

YOU WENT AWAY AND MY HEART WENT WITH YOU

I SPEAK YOUR NAME IN MY EVERY PRAYER"

If Roberto had just confessed his love for Corazon, he would have known that Corazon also loved him.

And even though Corazon knew that nothing would happen even if Roberto confessed to her, the important thing was that in the short term, they loved and experienced true love.
