Days passed, and though I hadn’t replied much, something strange began to stir inside me.
There was a message from her one night — short, simple, but it lingered:
> "Maybe you're the one I was supposed to find."
It didn’t make sense at first. We barely knew each other. Yet, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was no ordinary connection. Something invisible kept pulling me toward her — like fate had left a clue in her words, and I just hadn't solved the riddle yet.
Then one evening, I replied — for the fourth time.
Her reaction? Unexpected.
She didn’t just text back.
She sent a voice note.
Her voice was soft. Excited. Nervous. Beautiful.
> “I thought you’d never respond again,” she said with a giggle.
“But I waited. Silly, right?”
“Maybe... just maybe you’re worth waiting for.”
I smiled. And for the first time, I didn’t just feel seen — I felt wanted.
From that moment, our chats turned into nightly conversations. Not about big things — just random pieces of life: dreams, favorite colors, childhood memories, songs that made us cry, foods we’d never tasted.
And then came the first mystery.
She sent a picture.
It was a street, empty, quiet, under golden lights.
> “This is where I walk when I miss you,” she wrote.
I stared at the photo. Something about it felt familiar — but I had never been there. Or had I? My heart felt a jolt — like a memory from a dream I’d forgotten.
Then came another message:
> “One day, I’ll take you here. And I won’t have to miss you anymore.”
---
Things got more thrilling from there. One night, she said:
> “Let’s play a game. I’ll send you one truth, one lie. If you guess right, I’ll tell you something I’ve never told anyone.”
I was hooked. Her truth was:
> “I cry when it rains.”
Her lie:
> “I’ve never dreamt of you.”
I guessed the lie correctly.
She laughed.
> “I’ve dreamt of you twice. And you were wearing the same hoodie in both.”
I hadn’t told her about that hoodie. Not once. Not in photos. Not in chats.
Chills ran down my spine.
How did she know?
Was it a lucky guess... or something more?
The connection between us was growing deeper, stronger — no longer just about words on a screen. It was becoming something cosmic... magical... fated.
We hadn’t met in person. Not yet. But it already felt like we had lived lifetimes together.
To be continued...
