And out of nowhere, Vladimir appeared in my life!

I've never gotten along with someone so well.

{ And that's where this story begins }

I rode the bus home and it was such a long ride. I had a hard day. I took the keys to my apartment out of my pocket and fumbled with the keys. I opened the door and walked in.

I turned on the lights and flopped onto
my bed. I sighed and tried to get comfortable in my bed. "I wonder, I wonder, I wonder..." I wondered if Vladimir was online and if I could talk to him. It was important. I was finally going to tell him about my lack of the red string.

I opened my laptop, turned it on and opened the messenger tab.

I took a breath and exhaled. So nervous...

I typed, my hands shaking just a bit. Why was I so nervous? Vlad's my friend and its easy to talk to him. I feel as if I say something wrong, he'll hate me. No, I have to be honest with him.

Finally finishing the text, I sent it.
I felt oh so anxious and jittery waiting for his reply. About a minute past but it felt had like forever.

"Maybe he's busy. He could've went to sleep? Or he just doesn't want to talk to me?!"

"Chill Aleksander...it's going to be..."
I whisper to myself.
"Fine..."

I take a look at the top of my screen where all my notifications are. Just then, a new notif was there. It was from him! It was from Vlad! He replied!

I could feel a smile forming on my face and inside I was screaming.

It was a push notification so it took right to the tab.

His text read: "Bună Aleksander! Ai vrut să-mi spui ceva? Ce este"
-
("Bună" - "Hi")
("Ai vrut să-mi spui ceva?" - "You wanted to tell me something?)
("Ce este?" - "What is it?")
-
It was Romanian, his language, the language I didn't speak.

"Uh..."

"What?"

I had no idea what this message said!
I don't speak Romanian! What gave him the idea that I did?

"The last time I talked to him he sent me messages in English. A language we could both understand. But now...? What happened. I don't have anything against his language b-"

I paced around my room and came to a stop when the side of my body hit my desk.

"!!! F-"

I barely make out

-
Don't cuss
-

"Ouch..." I say softly

Back to pacing I went. Then I realized I couldn't just leave him on read. I have to reply. Now.

I typed "Hey, I really can't understand you Vlad. Could you, if it isn't too much trouble, speak English? Just for now?

I sent the message off.

That's when I decided to understand Vladimir better I'm going to have to learn about his culture and language.

Okay! Starting today I will learn Romanian!

-
An hour had passed, I was reading about Poenari Castle.
-
(Poenari Castle is a famous Romanian Landmark)
-

"Hm"

I remember my message. It didn't say anything about-

"Shit! I never told him about the red thread!"

"It's late here, I wonder what time it is at Vlad's place..."

"I'll at least send the message. If he's asleep now, he'll have something to wake up to."

I type: "Vlad, the thing I wanted to tell you earlier was the truth. I don't have a the red thread. Basically, it's a story about a red string tied around your ring finger. It connects you to your soulmate. It's your only clue to where your soulmate is. I'm pretty sure I don't have the thread. Just thought I'd be honest with you."

'Sent'

I'm relieved and worried at the same time!

I hear whistling coming from my laptop. A message from Vlad!

His text read: "!!!"

Another text showed up

It read: "!!! oHOHO NEITHER DO I! I'VE HEARD OF THE RED STRING BUT I KNOW I DON'T HAVE IT!!"

"..."

"What? Ohohaha- w-WHAT?"

I feel something wrapping around my finger. A red thread was slowly becoming noticeable around my ring finger.

"This is-? oh- uh...aaH!"

The red thread gained control of my hand and in a matter of seconds, it pulled me toward the opened window in my room.

I took a look out my window and I feel the cold night's breeze

Tonight. The moon, the stars, all seemed so bright. So beautiful and absolutely glowing.

"This is night is sparkling..."

I could not believe it. I have it. The red thread. I have the red thread of fate.
