Dangerously in Love

Him

January past by, she did meet with Andre and say her goodbyes. They kissed and hugs for the last times and that was it. It was a beautiful breakup because she finally got closure with Andre. They cried together and tells stories. Andre cried and asked her questions of why but he also knew that this time is the end of their story and it's time to move on. So he let her go. 

After a while, she then went on with her life of watching Netflix and eating in front of the TV, pretty standard, boring, and lonely. 

Then February 20th, 2020 came. 

She opened her Instagram and got one DM request from a guy named Ivan Dimitri. "Hmm.." she thought. Very interesting. Because she's been feeling lonely for some time now, having this DM from strangers is like a hallelujah for her. 

Ivan: "Hello." 

She didn't reply for about three hours because she was busy at that time taking care of her boss flight ticket for a refund but after much thought, she finally replied to him. 

"Helo." 

He then replied, "Hey, nice to meet you here. Am Ivan Dimitri by name." 

"Hi, Ivan, nice to meet you too. How do you find me?"

"Suggestion list."

She thought it's a bit weird to find her on an Instagram suggestion list but she just replied, "Ah, I see." 

He quickly replied, "Oh yes, so tell me what's your name?"

"My name is Anya, but you can call me A." 

"So tell me, Anya, where are you from? Am Russian but I live in the States. Georgia to be precise." 

"Ahh I see, I'm from Indonesia. Have you ever been to Indonesia?"

"I have not been there but I would love to." 

"If you come here, just let me know, I'll take you around :)" - She was just being nice to him. 

"If you don't mind, could you tell me more about Indonesia?" 

She then replied, "Sure... do you know Bali? Bali is part of Indonesia. I live in Jakarta, which is the capital city of Indonesia. Very crowded here for traffic-wise but the people are nice." 

He quickly replied, "Wow, that's good to know. Are you married?" 

She laughs. 

"Nope. I'm single. :) I just recently broke up with my ex of sixteen years. :) Are you married?" 

He replied, "Wow, you dated him for 16 years?! Nope, am not." 

She replied, "Yeah, it's a long story... haha" 

"Everybody has stories to tell.. I also have past experiences..." 

She replied this in a quick way, "Well.. tell me about yours :) I dated my ex since I was in Junior High, we still best friends :) He was the only one like I never dated anyone else but him but I'm moving on." 

He replied, "I have been in a serious relationship for over 7 years with my ex. It's really sad how things turned out. Still like a dream to me." 

She replied with encouragement, "Aww... I see it's really hard moving on but we have to try right? :) What happened if I may ask?" 

"I lost her in a moto accident a year ago... Ever since then I have not been in any relationship, I just concentrate more at work." 

She thought this is such a sad story, "Oh no, I'm so sorry :("
