Miracle By

—how me met online
网上的爱情奇迹
15 YEARS
AGO:
I used to hang
out at a country bar called the “Club Palomino”. I loved listening to good bands
there, and dancing to their country rock music. I used to drag my friend out to
see my favourite band playing called “Cheyenne”, who were amazing and always
packed the place. My friend and I used to get up and dance to their songs. I was
interested in the rhythm guitar player in the band, to me, he was the best
looking one, and I loved his voice along with his rhythm guitar sound. Yes, I
had the “hots” for him and would goggle eye him playing his guitar/singing while
I was on the dance floor, or just standing at the bar listening and staring.
I’ve always had this thing for bands as I play guitar too, and always wanted to
play in a band. They played there for a long time and were the best band at the
“Club Palomino”. I would go there as much as I could just to hear them play, and
of course, always watching my favourite player. The sad part about it was I used
to see him with a short blonde girl, not knowing if she was his girlfriend or
wife.
After seeing
them playing there for a long time, the “Club Palomino” closed down. Yes, the
club had been sold. Wouldn’t you know it a huge townhouse sub-division was put
up and the club was gone. So were all the bands and my favourite band,
“Cheyenne”.
When I first
found out about the club closing down, I wanted to approach “Cheyenne”;
particularly the rhythm guitar player and ask where they would be playing in the
future. But I didn’t have enough courage to do that. I guess things happen for a
reason.
15 YEARS
LATER:
As time went
on I met someone and got married. That was a mistake. Eventually we got a
divorce. I starting going out to bars, again, got tired of it and not meeting
anyone decent enough. I wasn’t crazy about the bands playing at other bars
either. Later, a friend told me to join a particular dating site on the
Internet, which I thought I would never do. But, I thought I would check it out
for fun as I heard so much about it through people even meeting their soul mates
from that site. Surprisingly enough, I had a few dates, meeting in public
places, but just didn’t find the right one and thought I never would from a
dating site. I sort of gave up on it until one night. After getting home from a
bar, which I hated, I went on my computer. For some reason I logged in that site
again which I was really glad I did. I got an interesting email from a guy and
liked his picture. I was also touched by his email and that he was also
interested in my picture and profile. From then on we started emailing each
other quite a lot from that site. We seemed to have so much in common through
our emails. We continued writing and eventually got on MSN, and chatted for
quite some time. He was Bulgarian and I was Hungarian, how common was that! We
discovered from our MSN chats that we had so much in common. It was really
amazing. Our families even lived in the same town of all places. We chatted
every night as often as we could.
And then, a
miracle happened! We started chatting on our computers about music. Wow…we also
liked all the same music and we both wrote songs. I told him I liked country
music and used to frequent a particular bar about 15 years ago, which had closed
down. Of course he asked me the name of the bar back then. I told him the “Club
Palomino”. He was really surprised and told me he used to play there. I wasn’t
sure whether to believe him or not! He said he would send me a picture of his
band that played there. I thought, “yeah right” to myself as I waited patiently
in front of my computer for the picture. Low and behold, a huge picture came up
on my screen, “CHEYENNE” “CLUB PALOMINO”. I freaked! I couldn’t believe it! It
was him in the picture with “Cheyenne”. The guy I was interested in who was the
rhythm guitar player in my favourite band. I was so shocked that I went crazy
seeing this picture! It was just unbelievable! Like a miracle happened suddenly!
Like a fairy tale! We carried on chatting every moment we had for some time, and
eventually he gave me his phone number. We started talking on the phone every
night. It was just amazing all the things we had in common about everything!
Yes, it was too good to be true!
Thanks to the net, we found our true love!
