A Special Story

Wrote this story while listening to Vorsa – Digital World by MixHound

There they were, him searching to improve a language he knows and she looking to meet someone to help her learn a new language.
They connected and talked for the first time. For him, it was just another person he meets on a language exchange website. In a few weeks, they would suddenly stop talking and be the end of this encounter.

The universe, however, had other plans. A thought passed through her mind. How long has this thought been traveling the universe and waiting for this moment? That is a question for another time.
She decided to call him, even though they’ve only been talking for a few days. It was a bit weird at first, they talked even though they had nothing to talk about. Slowly they began to get to know each other. They both didn’t know at the time, that this was going to be the first of hundreds and even thousands of long calls between them over the next years.

Somehow, they both forgot that they originally met to exchange and learn languages. They both agree however that it’s for the best. If they had stuck to language exchange, their relation wouldn’t have become what it is now.
He began calling her often after work, while stuck in traffic heading home. They used to discuss all kinds of subjects. They always had something to talk about.

Whatever is between them, grew bigger over time. They were always there for each other.
Whenever she had a presentation or an important project she would call him for encouragement and positive vibes.
Whenever he needed someone to talk to, she was always there telling him ‘Courage Courage’ and how much she believes in him.
Three years have now passed, and nothing has changed. Two persons that are geographically far apart with seas and countries separating them, and who have never met in person, were able to create an amazing connection.
If they had nothing new to tell each other, they would just choose a subject and discuss it for an hour or so.
They discussed life, friends, the stupidity of weddings, food, energy, the universe and lots and lots of other subjects and hopefully more are still on the way.

On the 23rd of June 2016, there she was sitting in front of her computer writing : Hello, I would like to improve my English, can you help me?
Who would have thought that this small language exchange contact would turn into such a beautiful adventure? Well, surely the universe did!
Will they ever meet? Will they ever look each other in the eyes and not through a screen? None of them really knows.

They both do trust in the universe and in what it has in store for them.

The important thing is that, whether they do meet or not, they are both here for each other for always because this is something they promised themselves.

Dedicated to ‘her’.
