The Girl I Met

The Gathering

Can one be in a relationship while also growing personally?
Can love be a source of strength or weakness?
These questions crossed my mind after my experience, but I'll let you be the judge.

I couldn't help but think, "Wow, what a beautiful sight," when I caught sight of this stunning woman entering a gathering I was invited to. Despite my initial plan to leave early due to my busy training schedule, she captivated me and made me stay longer.

It might sound crazy, but even before exchanging a single word with her, I found myself lost in fantasies of various possible futures we could share. In my imagination, she was already my wife, the mother of my children, and my ultimate destination. However, little did I know what was about to unfold.

I'm not someone who believes in meticulously planning every move when approaching someone of interest. What if plan A, B, C, or D failed? I prefer to be myself and let things unfold naturally. And that's exactly what I did, but you won't believe what happened next.

I kept contemplating the perfect moment to approach her. I would have made my move earlier, but she was surrounded by a group of friends, making it challenging. It became increasingly frustrating, so I excused myself to use the restroom. I hurriedly made my way back to the hall, fearing that I might miss her.

To my dismay, upon my return and settling back into my seat, she was nowhere to be found. I was disappointed in myself for procrastinating instead of seizing the opportunity. Now, she was gone.

Lost in deep reflection and regretting my lack of swift decisiveness, I suddenly felt a warm, soft hand tapping and resting on my shoulder. Without much thought, I stood up, ready to express my frustration to whoever it was. But to my surprise...
