Sometimes, we meet strangers who were destined to be met, at least once in life. One of those strangers is my wife who was destined to meet me, no matter what. And, then, there was an old yet charming couple we met at a couples-only resort.
Good thing about resorts is that they have numerous activities going around so one hardly has time to head out. One of these was Bingo after a really interesting and fun game called, "The Sexual Feud". One helluva game was 'The Sexual Feud'. Brings out the dirtiest you, played between the 2 sexes, men can lose this one (Beware!).
There were a couple of games that we played with another couple with more than twice as old as we are. They aged gracefully.
One of those games needed the male partner shoot (with fake bullets) his wife who was sitting in chair with glasses covering most of the face. The twist here was to close one eye and the gun had 4 barrels through which bullets would fire and you don't know which one would fire first. One of the fewer games in which you'd want to lose and not hit your partner in face (pun, intended). Well, we won the game, and earned a medal for that. We won against the older couple (won after a tie breaker). That man had some guts even after 50 plus years.
We met again in Bingo, lost the game in the last stage by a small margin against the old couple. It seemed as if we had to complete the circle of winning and losing. We graced the loss, cheered up and sat at a table. The winner got a bubble bath soap. The old man walked to us, patted on my shoulder, and handed me the prize, telling me, this is for you. What A Gentleman! My wife and I looked over him, thanked him and his wife for wonderful gesture.
Sometimes, people just don't wander in your life, they come and go for a purpose.
One more such person was the COO of the resort. One funny man he was. Billy, as he was known around, was the host of all the games that were being played. Such was his enthusiasm, that he carried the same stamina and fun throughout the day till the beats in the club stopped. We were one of the fewer couples who took part in all the activities of the resort, which he acknowledged in front of all.
Sometimes, it feels that it doesn't end like that. We get calls from universe to complete the circle.
May be, someday...
