serendipity happens

Yesterday, on my way home from work, something supposedly scary and frightening happened to me. I was walking along E. Rodriguez Ave going to Araneta Ave while reading a book and listening to music in my iPod, when all of a sudden, a random guy grabbed me by the elbow as I walked past by a parked car blocking the side walk and on to the road side of the street. I was taken by surprise and was supposed to ask him why he did what he did, but when I looked up, I thought I saw an angel! Mygaaaaaash, he's so gwapo! I became tongue-tied and was still clueless when suddenly, a jeepney bolted by me.. then I realized that I had been almost hit by a jeepney. Since everything happened too swiftly and I was getting mixed emotions, I was just able to utter "Thank you" in a very soft and (uncontrollably) kinikilig na voice, wondering later on if he even heard or felt the kilig in my voice.. also, if he thinks I'm crazy to still smile like that, even after almost getting hit by a vehicle. I was awestruck at what had just happened, and at the same time, I imagined running back to him and knocking on his car window to say "Thank you! You saved my life!" but that'd be too shameful already. As I was nearing the end of my walkathon, I realized that had he been not at the right place at the right moment, I would've been in an accident. Is this serendipity? Destiny? Because I think I have just fallen in love at first sight, and to someone I don't even know or will probably never see again. How tragic is that? :)
