Once upon a time there was a boy whose name was Sam. He was 15 years old and lived in Pakistan. He was a kind hearted boy and loved making friends. Sam had a habit of searching usernames of random people all so he can be friends. He also loved to help.
One day while searching he met a girl online, her name was Sab. He never knew everything was about to change. The conversation of Sam and Sab began by greeting each other. Sam introduced himself and so did Sab. Regular conversations made them know each other and closer to each other.
One day Sab told Sam "Sam I like you ", Sam blushed and replied "I like you too. What are you thinking?" For one minute, Sab didn't responded and then she replied "I am imagining being in bed with you ". This message melted his heart more and made him blush. He took a deep breath and asked her "what do you consider me?" on which she replied "Boyfriend".
He told her that she never asked him out. Sab got embarrassed and laughed. After which she proposed him and they both accepted each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. They both loved each other very much. The habit of regular conversation made their love stronger. From that day they began to talk to each other on video call at night.
The regular chats and regular video calls continued. But there was a problem, time zone. Sam was from Pakistan and Sab was from UK. They both loved each other a lot though they were long distant. Moreover Sab didn't have any phone. During video call, Sam inquired about her phone. She told him that her phone was taken away by her parents because she was caught talking with her ex.
As one month of their relationship passed, Sab started saving her lunch money to buy phone. After waiting for couple of days she had enough money to buy herself a used phone. She bought one and kept it secretly in order to not get caught by her parents.
Time passed on, Sab began to be with Sam more. At school she used her phone to contact him. He always told her to keep her career more prior than him. But for her nothing mattered more than Sam. Sam also stopped caring about his life. He didn't care about his career. His friends tried to guide him but it was useless.
The long distant relationship went on. They took care of each other very much and became more open with each other. They both shared their dirty sides and a time came when they started trading pictures.
During the third month, Sab's parents found out that she bought phone secretly. Sam received a message from her phone. The message stated "I have read all messages. I am father of Sab. You prick stay away from her. Keep your puny dick with yourself and fuck any Pakistani girl. Don't come here and if u loves her then don't ever message her because I already dragged her from hair. I will beat her more if you don't go. "
"OH NO!" said Sam as his heart broke. Sam just wanted to contact Sab somehow. A week passed, but Sam didn't get response from her. After another week, Sam received an email. It was Sab! He didn't know that it would be a last message from her. Sab told that she was beaten badly and she ran from her house to foster care. Sam tried to convince her to go back to her home. Sab was not good physically and mentally. Sam showed his power of love and convinced her to go to home. Sab agreed to do what he told. He told her to go back to her home and gave some advises on how to make her family bond better.
Sam blamed himself for what happened to her and regretted sending her private picture first. His love for her never got weak. They both kept talking secretly. Her parents began to hurt her mentally and physically. Sam felt bad as he wasn't there with her in reality because of the long distance.
Moreover, he kept guiding and never gave up. Sab's siblings avoided her which was painful. On the mother's day, he advised her to take the shot and gift her mother and she did. Things turned out little better. This good news filled Sam with joy.
It was the 5th month of relationship. Sab gave Sam's number to her friend who contacted Sam. They both became friends. Sam had Sab's Facebook's email and password. He planned to give her surprise by writing a post on her Facebook's profile. He accessed it, he never knew what he was about to see would shatter him.
Sam started sobbing. Tears rolled down his cheeks. He didn't expect that to happen. He felt like he was left alone in the dark. Sam saw a conversation where she was talking to another guy and they both were expressing love for each other in the conversation. Filled with anger and pain, Sam called Sab straight away and asked why she did that. She responded that she was pretending love with that guy. Initially Sam didn't believe her and told her that he is leaving her. On seeing this, Sab called Sam and cried on phone to convince him not to leave her. Hearing his gf cry, melted Sam's heart and he gave her a chance.
This incident kept going on, every time Sam would catch her, she would cry on call and he would stay. Sam's love for Sab began to decrease slowly. The fifth time Sab cheated on Sam, he didn't give her any chance this time. Sab cried on phone as usual and tried to stop him but he was gone forever.
The online relationship ended after 8 months, after breaking up, Sab confessed that she was cheating on him. Sam got hurt further. He had questions that why she cheated on him. Even though Sab blocked him, he kept on trying to communicate as it was hard to take in. On which she responded to him that Sam you lied to me so many times and I ignored them. You made me separate from my family and you treated me like shit.
Hearing that Sam gotpissed, he never lied to her. He was for her 24/7 and she found that as shit.Sam got broken and instead of moving, he replaced his heart with stone.
