Beloved's Soul

For three days now, she hasn't spoken to me. For three days, her phone has been switched off. It hurts a lot not being able to talk to her. At the same time, I'm very worried about her. The person I've been talking about is my girlfriend, Tugni. I've loved her for four years. We've been in a relationship for four years. We met five years ago on Facebook.

Five years ago:

After finishing my studies, I was lying on my bed reading a story in a Facebook group. You could say reading stories is an addiction of mine. As I finished reading the story, I really liked it. So, I sent a friend request to the person who wrote the story and messaged them saying, 'I have a crush on your story.' Then I went offline. Just then, my mom called me for dinner. Hearing my mom's call, I went downstairs. After dinner, I returned to my room and went online again. As soon as I came online, I saw that the author of the story had accepted my friend request and had responded to my message with a laughing emoji.

I messaged, What's the matter? Why did you send a laughing emoji?

Instantly, a reply came. She said, I sent a laughing emoji after seeing your message.

I asked, Why, what's so funny about my message?

She replied, Why wouldn't I laugh? It's the first time I've seen someone having a crush on a story, and that too on my story. So, I laughed a lot.

I messaged, Why not? Just as boys and girls can have a crush on each other, a person can also have a crush on a story.

She then asked, How?

I said, Do you know what a crush means?

She replied, Yes, who doesn't know that? A crush is someone who makes you feel happy just by seeing them. Someone who makes you forget all the world's problems. Someone you want to see again and again.

I said, A story can make you feel the same way. Reading a story can bring a certain joy, and you might want to read it repeatedly. So, can't we say we have a crush on a story?

She replied, Wow, you seem to have a degree in crushes. What's the name of someone so experienced in crushes?

I said, My name is Adil. What's yours?

She replied, My name is Tugni.

I said, Nice name.

We chatted for a long time, and then I said bye and went offline and fell asleep. We talked every day and became very good friends. A year passed like this. But there's a saying that a boy and a girl can never just be friends. The same thing happened to me. While talking to Tugni, I don't even know when I started loving her. So, one day I proposed to her over chat. Tugni sent a surprised emoji and said, 'Adil, you haven't even seen me yet. How can you love me without seeing me?'

I said, 'Why can't love happen without seeing each other? Love only requires a pure heart, and you have that, which is clear from your words. That's why I love you.'

Tugni said, 'Look, Adil, this is just your emotion, nothing else.'

I said, 'I know this is not just emotion. It's love.'

For a few days, we had arguments over this. But still, she didn't accept my proposal. So, I came up with an idea. One day, I was online but didn't message her. Instead, I posted on Facebook that I urgently needed a girlfriend. On the other hand, Tugni was feeling sad because she didn't receive a single message from Adil today. Actually, Tugni also liked talking to Adil, but she couldn't understand if it was love.

Tugni feels it's just emotions. That's why she keeps rejecting Adil. Not receiving any messages all day, she goes to Adil's Messenger and sees that Adil is online. She thinks, 'This fool is online but hasn't sent a message. Then she sees the Facebook posts. Suddenly, she sees Adil's post asking urgently for a girlfriend, and her eyes freeze on it. Along with it, she sees that the post has 300 likes and 400 comments. Seeing all this, Tugni gets furious. She angrily reacts to every comment from the girls who commented, exits Facebook, and messages Adil on Messenger, 'Hey, why didn't you message me today, you dog?' Adil laughed uncontrollably after seeing the message. He thought to himself, Wow, today I realized for the first time that my Tugni can get so angry.

Then I messaged, 'What's the matter? Why are you cursing me, sister? I was a bit busy today.' Hearing me call her 'sister' and addressing her formally, she got even angrier. Immediately, she sent a picture of herself and said, 'You dog, wait for me tomorrow at Sun Restaurant.' With a bit of fear, I said, 'Okay.' Then both of us went offline. Tugni thought to herself, 'You urgently need a girlfriend, don't you? Come tomorrow, and I'll fix your urgent need for a girlfriend. And now I have become 'sister. You've tormented me for so long and now you're showing off. Tomorrow I'll fix you.

The next day, I went to that restaurant with Tugni. I arrived first. Five minutes later, I saw a girl come in and grab my shirt collar, taking me outside to a park. There she stopped. I couldn't see her face properly until then. But now, seeing her face, I recognized her because she had sent me her picture the night before. I realized that a girl's face could be so full of affection just by looking at Tugni. She looked even more beautiful in person than in the picture. A face full of affection, red lips, long black hair, and an affectionate pair of eyes. There was also a mole under her lip, which enhanced her beauty even more. I was just staring at her in admiration. Then Tugni said, Hey, you monkey, why did you make that post? I snapped out of my daze. I pretended not to know and said, Which post, sister? Hearing me call her 'sister' again, she got even angrier.

She grabbed my collar again and angrily said, That urgent girlfriend post. I said, You don't want to be my girlfriend, so I posted asking for one, sister. Before I could finish, Tugni put her lips on mine and kissed me for five minutes before letting go. I was stunned by Tugni's action. Before I could say anything, Tugni said, I love you.

I was overjoyed at her words. I said, 'Really, sister?' Instantly, Tugni gave me an angry look and said, If you call me sister again, I'll fix you. Holding one ear, I said, 'Sorry.' Seeing my action, Tugni laughed and lowered my hand from my ear, saying, You fool. Saying this, Tugni hugged me. I also hugged Tugni with deep affection. That's how our days of love began. We've been in love for four years. Tugni cared for me and also scolded me, which I liked very much. She ensured I ate on time, slept early at night, woke up on time, and didn't stay out late at night. Every day, Tugni would call me. She couldn't stay without talking to me, and I couldn't stay without talking to her. Tugni and I met only that one day and never met again because Tugni didn't want to meet often, and I didn't insist. But a week ago, I told Tugni that I really wanted to go somewhere far with her. She didn't say much then, just that she couldn't go. So, I didn't push it further because I didn't want Tugni to suffer because of me. Then I changed the topic, and we talked for four more days. But for three days now, Tugni hasn't called me. And her phone is also off. I'm very worried. Suddenly, at midnight today, the phone rang, waking me up. I looked at the phone and saw it was a call from Tugni. I quickly received it.

Then Tugni said, 'Will you keep a promise for me? I said, 'You haven't called for three days, and your phone was off. Why? Then Tugni said, 'Forget about that. Tell me, will you keep a promise for me?

I said, Tell me.

I didn't realize when I fell asleep while thinking. In the morning, I woke up, got freshened up, had breakfast, and was getting ready. Everyone at home knows I love Tugni because I share everything with my family. And my family has accepted it because they love me very much. Today, I was going to go on a trip with Tugni for three days, and seeing my excitement, they were also very happy. I was getting ready. The pain of not being able to talk to her for the past few days was gone because of the joy of going on a trip with her. However, I had decided that when I met Tugni, I would scold her a lot. She hadn't called me for so many days and had kept her phone off. I suffered a lot not being able to talk to her. After getting ready, I said goodbye to everyone and set off for the railway station. I was going with a very cheerful mood, but I could never have imagined the events that would unfold there.
