THE TWIST OF FATE

ASAD

My mind was unable to comprehend or process what just happened on the call. Since two weeks, I was talking to a stranger who probably knows a lot about me now. I kept thinking about it the whole day and I didn't share it with anyone. At night I checked my Facebook account and I saw a friend request from Asad along with several messages.

"Hey, Emmy!! Please don't be angry, my cousin told me about you and I couldn't stop myself from talking to you. I know what kind of a person you are and I really like you, please give me a chance so we can at least be friends."

This was his first message after which he sent me a lot of other messages, telling me how beautiful I am (he didn't know how I looked as I never sent my picture to Shehryar) and that he likes my voice, just to gain my attention. I ignored him for a month but being stupid asusal, I started replying to his messages. We started talking randomly, about our likes, dislikes, and interests. We used to talk for hours continuously without getting tired, with in a month we became really good friends.

At that point I had this feeling, that he understands me like no other, I can trust him, and I was comfortable enough to share all my secrets with him. We both got attached in no time and became best friends. Waiting for his messages and daydreaming about him even during the lectures became part of my routine.

One day while talking, he said, "I want to confess something". I said "Sure. Go ahead". "I have been thinking about you lately and I think I am falling in love with you." I was not really surprised to know about his confession as he already gave me a lot of hints before. "I need some time", I replied. He said that you can take your time and tell me whenever you'll feel the same way. It took me another month to make sure how I feel about him. Finally, after thinking a lot I said those three magical words, "I love you and you might be my first but what I really wish in life is for you to be my last." "EMMY!! This is the best day of my life." He Replied.

I don't know what this meant for him but I actually had feelings for him and I actually thought he is the first and the last guy I am falling in love with, and he is the one I am going to marry in future. Little did I know what's coming up next.

I was only 16yo and he was 17yo, at that age being in a relationship, feeling of being in love, feeling the other person's pain and being willing to sacrifice anything for them, all of this was something I never experienced and was really exciting, at the same time it made me really happy.

When I think about it now it's weird that how he was a complete stranger, and then me being completely infatuated by him and how it ever was that I was able to live without him, because I sure as hell couldn't imagine being without him. I know we were only young, and most people would consider me to be foolish, but it's true when I say that I loved him.
