A love story that began in the online game
Prologue: Sometimes you can find your love in the place where you least expect it.
My name is Konstant. I am 25 years old. I work as a freelancer. I live with my girlfriend Alina. She is 24 years old. Our love story began 2.5 years ago.
It was the last day of June 2018. The weather was sunny and hot. I worked on the Internet all day long. When evening came, I decided to rest and went to make myself dinner. Suddenly I remembered that today there will be a football match between the national teams of France and Argentina at the stage of the World Cup. I thought I was going to have a great evening and I was not mistaken.
??There were still two hours before the match, so I decided to open my laptop and read sports and history articles on the Internet. After that, I started playing an online tank game. I've always liked these games because I love strategy. So, I went into the game and started destroying enemy tanks. The colors on many of the tanks were bright because the developers of the game were holding action for the football world championship in Russia: it was necessary to buy one of 32 paints that symbolize the teams participating in the tournament. If your team takes 1-3 place in the tournament, then the developers promised good presents. I chose the paint with the flag of France, as I thought that this team would become the champion.
While I was destroying other tanks, I saw an interesting conversation in the in-game chat. I usually don't read these dialogs because people always write complete nonsense there. But this day my attention was drawn to the fact that two people were arguing aboutfootball. They discussed the upcoming match between the national football teams of France and Argentina.
- "Argentina is a two-time world champion in football, it is a football superpower,” - said one tanker.
- 'So, this is your argument? - retorted another man, - the great past will not help the Argentines to beat France."
- “They don't need to rely on their great past, because they have a great present - Lionel Messi,” - his opponent disagreed.
- "Without the support of other players, he is not able to win the match," - answered the second tanker.
- “I am a 21 years old girl and I have been a fan of the French national team since 2009, so I know what I'm talking about,” - said the first tanker.
- “Are you a girl ?” - I asked.
- "Yes, - answered she, - Is it really bad ?"
- "No, that's fine, - I answered, - what is your name ?"
- "Alina, - the girl introduced herself, - and you ?"
- "My name is Konstant and I'm glad to meet you," - I answered shyly.
- "Me too, - said Alina, - and who will you root for in the upcoming match ?"
- "I like the French team, so I will root for it," - I said.
- "Argentina beat France twice in 1930 and 1978 at the World Cup, so the statistics are on the side of the Argentines," - Alina told me.
- "Okay, - I answered, - but as we know there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
- "We can discuss this tomorrow,” - she suggested.
- "Okay, I sent you a friend request, have a nice evening, goodbye."
- "I have already added you as a friend, thank you, have a nice evening too, goodbye," - said Alina.
I came out of thegame and began to eat. This girl surprised me with her intelligence and hobbies. So, I wanted to come the next day as soon as possible. Two hours later France won the match with a score of 4:3 and I went to bed.
The next day, I created a chat for two people in the game, where we were talking with Alina for 5 hours. We discussed football, computer games, politics, films, and other things. After that, I began to communicate with her every day: first using game chat, and after 2 weeks she gave me her phone number.
She and I became real friends, and then our feelings turned into love. And we began to chat on Skype a month after we met. Alina turned out to be a very beautiful girl. This fact finally convinced me that we should be together.
Because we separated 736 kilometers, we were able to meet in real life only in August 2019. We spent two weeks together. We also agreed that Alina will move to live in my house. This happened in January 2020. So, we have been living together since that time.
I don't know what will happen in the future, but I am 100% sure of one fact: during football matches, our house will never be calm and quiet.
Epilogue: Don't miss your chance to meet your soul mate and always go your own way!
