The days following their conversation passed in a blur of anticipation. Amara couldn't stop thinking about Karim's visit. Each time she checked her phone, she was almost waiting for a new message from him, an update on his travel plans.
It was surreal to think that in just a few weeks, he would be standing right in front of her. She couldn't shake the nervous excitement coursing through her veins, imagining what it would be like to finally see him.
Their video calls became even more frequent, with discussions about Karim's flight details, his hotel, and the plans for when he would arrive. They talked about the places Amara wanted to show him—Manila's bustling streets, the peaceful Baywalk, and the vibrant nightlife. Karim, on the other hand, was excited to experience everything she had described, to see it firsthand.
The date was finally set. Karim's flight was booked, and Amara couldn't help but check the calendar every day. The countdown had begun, and each day that passed felt both too short and too long at the same time.
On one of their late-night calls, Karim sent her a message, "I'll be landing in Manila in exactly two weeks. Are you ready for me?"
Amara laughed, her heart fluttering. "I don't know if I'm ready, but I've never been more excited."
