A few weeks ago, Facebook
users were sharing a very interesting story; about a midget guy and a fairly
good looking girl. Many netizens found
it hard to believe that there is a love affair going on between these two individuals. The comments that you read were mostly in
disbelief and there were some cruel thoughts insinuating that the girl
must be high on drugs or must be insane to fall in love with the guy.

How the Story Unravelled
The story first found its
way in one of the trending sites based in the Philippines. Initially, there was very little idea on the
background of this love story and that the site created a story for them. In their concocted story, the girl and the
guy were part of Clash of Clans gamers and the COC game ignited their love
affair when they started sharing their strategies on how to keep up with the
game. And some creative online users
managed to create a Facebook page for them; thus, the name Mitoy and Mika.
Then, another trending
site managed to uncover the real story between Mitoy and Mika and this time,
one of the people behind the trending site got to interview Mika and
uncovered their love story. Indeed the
love story was real as Mitoy and Mika have real names; the guy is Pat Esconde
Patricio and the girl is Althea Beruya Ronquillo. According to Althea, their love story
started when they were still work colleagues in Makati and their officemates
used to tease them.
How Their Love Story Started
At first, she was coy
about the teasing until Pat worked his way through her heart by constantly
accompanying Althea from office to home without failure. Then, one day she received a text message
from Pat that went like this “Sana akin ka na lang (I wish you were mine).” Then, Althea replied, “Oo (yes, you can).” The reasons for the girl loving the guy was
that she was really amazed with Pat’s effort accompanying her from Makati
office to her home in Taguig, before the guy went home to Alabang.
Is This Fact or Fiction?

Until their love will find its way in TV programs like Kapuso Mo Jessica
Soho (June 28 episode) many online users are doubtful
of the veracity of this story. Those who
are cynical with unconditional love or love itself, will find it difficult to
swallow the love story between Pat and Althea. Even among the romantics, their
love story is difficult to imagine as romance for these people only involved
the good looking ones.
The Real Deal
It is not for us to judge
if their love story is fact or fiction. What's important here is that the Mitoy and Mika love story just prove
that love is real and it is for everybody.
Love does not discriminate so people like us should not give our myopic
points of view about love especially if we failed with love several times. If we have failed, their love story
should serve as an inspiration that there will always be someone who will love
us and that is if we only open our minds and hearts and not just our eyes
only.
