Who would have thought that in the rainiest season of life, life would bring a new acquaintance?
At the end of August, it was boring and only the game saved the sad last days, and then, while playing, playing, a notification came, some guy signed up and sent a message
-Hi, do you want to meet me?
The message puzzled me for a minute, but after I answered, a conversation started, and then he took my number and the conversation moved to TikTok and chat. Of course, anyone would have melted before him. The days went by, the conversation grew, and we had more and more in common.
-Have you also been feeling a twinge in your chest lately?
I was sitting in front of the screen and all sorts of things were going through my head, but he just called and smiled and started pretending he was having a heart attack.

• Silly girl, has this ever happened? I like you.
  and then he grinned and added
  -How long will it take me to conquer you?
• I would like to be with you right now, I promise that I will come as soon as I turn 20, in two years... will you wait for me?
  -Do you think we can do it, Mark?
• I don't know... I'm sorry.
  Two years seemed like torture, but we didn't get back together. The decision was made because of the distance... he's in the Philippines, which is thousands of kilometers away, and it's just... communication started to die out, like someone hit him over the head with a rebar and all our correspondence was erased. But it turned out he wanted to write, but I had to change my phone number at that point, and he couldn't restore everything he had and lost access forever, losing my number.

Two years have passed, a lot has happened, it seemed hard to believe, after all, I'm already 18, and here I am at the New York airport and this air, freedom, and a dream come true of studying abroad. Filling out paperwork, a familiar guy appeared out of the corner of his eye, not a bit changed, but he saw... he couldn't believe it.
-Is this you? Are you serious?
Mark said, looking and rubbing his eyes.

The game in question is Moblie Legends. His birthday is on December 5th. He loves tactile features.
