Ah Halong Wasalam, which means welcome to Jordan. Also known as the Switzerland of Middle East, here you can step into the Wonder where Jesus himself was Baptised. You can float in the cold red sea and have dinner with friends under the stars in the middle of the desert. Jordan is well known throughout the world for its hospitality and kind hearted people. I’d never imagine that I would meet a young Jordanian woman for whom I would fall for.
Like any other Techie, I’d lost count of the number of days since the lockdown started. It was not long ago, when I too fell for one of those clickbait apps where you get to meet girls all over the world. I installed the app and guess what? I had to pay for matching with more than 10 girls. As anyone else would do, with the power of the credit card I too became a prime member. After spending a few bucks, I finally met a real girl.
Aisha, was her name! Expecting the conversation to get sensual, I proceeded chatting with her. We became close in a few hours and shared almost everything in those hours. It was like taking something off your chest during these isolated days, where I’m all alone in my apartment. Knowing that I’m a writer, she asked me to write about herself and literally anything that I can come up with. Now that awoke the devil within me.
I wrote about her, whatever I could and sent it to her. I don’t know what magic I wrote, I felt she was being more close to me after that. We exchanged our pics, where we had our clothes on. We were feeling something special towards each other. However, I had the same questions that you are having right now, why would I fall for an online scam, if it may be one and the “what if“ haunted me.
Why not? My heart kept on telling me NO! It cannot be a scam. It is the other way around. A blind faith for a relationship that started hours ago, and that to a long distant where I’m here in India and she is there in Jordan. I don’t know what to call this relationship, but I do know one thing.
“When the day started for me, I fell for her and when the night fell for her, she fell for me.”
