I Fell In Love with a WhatsApp Stranger and Lost

You innocently checked her profile and thought she was stunning, pretty and composed. Then you started a conversation, hoping she will reply.  She takes her time to text you back yet she doesn't know you, you are just that guy from the WhatsApp group. A stranger merely attractive and handsome as you can gauge yourself but still she conversed with you.

You share some jokes. You exchange few words about your backgrounds. You think she is a clown. A pretty heart but still categorise her as just that WhatsApp girl. She just can do anything to get her profile look good opposite to the normality. Then you request to check on her.

She agrees to meet up with you, uses her money to look presentable for you yet she does not know you. You are just that guy from the WhatsApp group. She giggles at all your jokes...not that she is trying to please you but because she is pleased by your lame sense of humor. Now she knows you a little bit but you are still that guy from the WhatsApp group.

After sometime she shows you her flaws. Her humble home, you realise she does not wear Dolce or Gucci or Dior or even Loui Vuitton. She is simple and now, she considers you someone special. But still see her as just that girl from the WhatsApp group nothing else.

You start avoiding her because she does not match your usual class. She starts falling in love with you but you never take time to notice. Hell no, you cannot dare introduce her to your friends. Surprisingly, she introduced you to her best friends, her sisters and brother. To you she is just that girl from the WhatsApp group.

Years passed, she has never set eyes on any man yet you have slept with Carol, Cynthia and Cindy. Though it hurts, she still forgives you because she loves you. A year later you are called to her burial. She died due to depression. She left a journal and all the pages were filled with her journey of love, from just that guy from the WhatsApp group to the man of her dreams. 

You realize you were dumber than dumb, but wait, there is nothing you can do. You wasted time on lust and forgot about true love that you had but unfortunately lost. Your ignorance distanced your heart from finding peace and giving in to love than pleasures.

Now you are alone dying because Cindy, Cynthia and Carol left you with the killer  virus. Your health slowly but surely depriving. Coughs in the mornings, a few months later you realise it is tuberculosis. Your hairs set off to fall, your fleshy surrender to the HIV viruses that eat up your being and all left is a gothic grotesque of a boneless creature hardly with any energy to speak. 

Your family and friends too tired to look up for you give up and leave the lifeless you to face the world and prepare for your death, at last to join her. It hurts because now you are not even the guy from the WhatsApp group.  You are a lost soul. Too bad.

You regret; all these could not have happened if you took your time to appreciate her; simple appreciation and a little Love, can save a soul because Love beats all odds.
