LOVE , HORROR & BETRAYAL - Short stories

Chapter 2 : He found true love online

20-year-old Mustafa had just finished his second year of university, he'd been studying accounting and finance and he was from London. He lived at home with his dad, mom and sister in their 2 bedroom council flat.

It was summer and after he had finished his exams, he received his results and achieved a 1st. He was happy with this, but as the summer went on he became extremely bored with nothing to do. His friends had all gone on holiday and he was stuck at home with his sister.

It was mid August now, the sun was shining and record temperatures had touched the city. While he was in his bed, he received a follow request on Instagram. His account wasn't really known, he had no display pictures and had a really bad ratio. But when he went on his

Requests he saw a very attractive girl, she was somali with chocolate skin and beautiful curly hair. He got quite excited and quickly accepted the request. He was surprised, why she followed his account? She had a around 800 followers and was only following back 50 accounts

He continued to wonder what made his account so special. His friends would always make fun of him for not getting a lot of girls like the rest of them.

But he continued and accepted the follow request and went back on periscope and watched a number of entertaining lives scopes, keeping himself busy for the summer. Trolling with his fake periscope accounts, and getting involved with random lives.

Few hours later he saw a DM from the very same girl he accepted the follow request from. He was shocked, why would she DM an anon account? But he opened the message and saw that she greeted him with a "hello, what's your name?".

He replied and said his name was Mustafa , he told her where he was from and all the common talking stage questions. He then proceeded to ask her for her name and age etc. She told him her name was Maryam and that she was from Belgium. She was 19 and was currently in uni

Just like him. He was mesmerised by her display picture and all of her other pictures, liking them and then going back to her dms to talk more. She then asked for his picture and he picked out the best one from his camera roll, she told him how handsome and cute he was.

He had never gotten this type compliment from an attractive girl. For the next few days they continued to talk on the DM's, and had gotten to know a lot about each other. Mustafa was instantly attracted and couldn't believe he had met such a match so easily like this.

His friend khadar then called him for a quick session of football at goals, he accepted this and went to play. After the session, him and khadar spoke about the girls they were speaking to. Mustafa told him about the girl he had met on Instagram and how he really liked her.

Khadar looked at her photos and lusted over her beauty . Mustafa had asked khadar if a long distance relationship would work, and his friend told him to go for it because love had no distance . After a week of speaking, Mustafa wanted

To talk to maryam over the phone, but she didn't agree. He got quite upset and stated that if she wanted this to work out, they would have to speak over the phone. After a few attempts of convincing her, she agreed and gave him her number.

They spoke over the phone for the next few nights, her accent made him fall in love with her even more. 2 weeks had now passed and Mustafa knew that she was the one. He spoke to her about him flying over to Brussels and meeting her for the first time. But she told him

Something that would make him even happier. She said she would be coming over to London to visit her cousin, and this would be a great chance to meet each other. He was extremely happy about this, a boring summer had turned into a beautiful love story.
