A unique start of love

The app of love

2:00 in the morning.

Feeling sad and hopeless.

Shake! Shake! "Cute", said I while looking on my iPod using a chat app.

Shake! Shake! "Again? Oh, well maybe his the only one online", says I when I saw the same guy on the app.

Shake! Shake! over and over and sees the same guy again and again.

"Okay. Last shake. If this guy message me, I'll message him back. I guess I need someone to chitchat with", I said just in mind.

Ding Ding! 1 message received from Neil.

"Hi", said Neil from his message.

Me: Hello

Neil: What's your name?

Me: I'm Gab.

Neil: How old are you?

Me: I'm 20 and you?

Neil: I'm 23

Conversation continues untill Neil noticed that there's something wrong with me during our conversation and asked...

"It seems like you're sad. Do u mind if I asked you what's the problem?", says Neil.

"It's about my boyfriend. He seems cold in our relationship. I know there's someone else but he keeps on denying it.", says I without hesitation.

"And???", he said asking for more that shows interest to the topic.

"And last night he says that he thinks we should end this. He broke up with me." says I with tears that finally run down my cheeks.

"Maybe he has reason why he did that to you" says Neil.

"Maybe. But what's wrong with me??? I showed him so much love and effort. I even spent thousands of dollars just to go back in Canada to see him." says I while crying to death.

"Ahright. Stop crying now. If you'll hear my story, you'll probably say that your problem is not that heavy as u think.", says Neil then silence.

Neil had a girlfriend 6 months before that morning we chitchat on that app.

They've been together for 3yrs. They are living in the same roof. They are almost perfect couple until one day the girl became cold in their relationship. There are times that the girl isn't coming home for a few days, not texting him, and doesn't tell where on earth she is.

Moment came wherein the girl only went home just to get clothes and leave again. Until the girl admit that she has someone else.

It was too hard for Neil to accept the fact that he is replaced now by someone else. But because he has so much love for the girl, he still accept the girl and says, "What you did really hurts me a lot. But I'll forget all you did, just be with me again and let go of that guy."

After that, things went back again until one day, it happened again. And AGAIN, he accepted the girl.

That moment happened not just once, not even twice, but 3 times. But this time, Neil decided to stop. He still loves the girl but he did the right thing. He broke up with the girl who cause so much pain on him. Then, he messed up. He stop schooling for one whole sem and spent his time playing online games.

Next morning...

After that morning I had conversation with Neil on chat, we begin texting each other.

Among all the guys I've texted with, he's different. He's not saying pick-up lines like what guys are doing nowadays. Not even sending sweet messages for the girls to feel cheesy.

He really offers me friendship. A good friendship that I accepted.

Cring! Cring! The phone rings every now and then for every days that passed.

Now, we are used on calling each other. Talking and laughing and giggling all the time like there's no tomorrow. Until one day, he asked me if we could see each other in person.

"Okay. Let's see when will it be. Coz next week I might be busy. I'll be starting my clinical duties at O-SAM.", said I after he asked me.

I'm a 3rd year student taking up Bachelor of Science in Nursing in a University. 1 more year, I'll be finishing my course. So, everything's getting harder and harder. Even time, it's really hard to make schedule for any other activities and stuff.

Few more days and weeks have passed. I'm starting to get over with my ex and move on. I don't know but everytime Neil and I share good talking times, I feel happy. It feels like I never had a problem.

"Uhmmm You know what? I really don't know how I feel but when I'm talking to you, I feel so happy.", he says seriously but sounds confuse.

"Me either.", I said very straight forward.

"I don't want to misinterpret this feeling but I guess the best thing to do is just go with the flow. Let things happen.", he said.

"I guess... Yah. That' the best thing.", said I.

"So... When will I see you then?", he asked.

"I still don't know yet.", I answered.

"How about picking you up after your duty? Will that be okay?", he asked again.

"That would be fine.", I answered with slight nervous feeling.

"Good. So, I'll see you then.", he says excitedly.

We'll be seeing each other soon. Now, I feel mixed emotion. Feeling of excitement but with fear and nervousness. A lot of questions came into my mind. What if in person, he's not that kind of guy I used to talk with? What if he doesn't like my physical being? Short, chubby and mocha complexion? What if after he sees me, he'll never text or call again? Sigh..... A biggg and deeep Sigh....... Goodluck to me and just be myself. See you soon Neil.
