Soulmates

Ding!🛎 A notification pops up on Ama’s phone. She takes a look and realizes it’s a notification from YourSoulMateIsHere.com. She unlocks the phone with her thumb and opens the notification to read the message on the app. It’s from Fine_Gentleman82. Ama has been chatting with him close to a month now but they’ve never met. His message read, “Hi dear, was wondering if it’s possible to finally get to meet the person I’ve been chatting with for close to a month. I hope this is not too straightforward and if you think it’s too soon, I would understand”.

Ama calls Adjo her best friend and asks her what she thinks. Adjo tells her to reply and meet him and if she’s not sure about her safety, she can chaperone her. Ama considers meeting Kofi. Kofi is funny, smart and just a couple of months older than her. They share a lot of interests. She decides to respond to his message. “Thanks for your message. I would also love to meet. We could meet at the Gate B of the Accra Sports Stadium. My friend Adjo has 2 tickets to Fridays clash between Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko and since we both enjoy football, it will be a good place to meet. Funny enough I was wondering about inviting you myself before your message”.

Two minutes after sending the message, she received a response in the affirmative. She was nervous about how it will go because they both didn’t use their own pictures on their profiles. The mystery about his identity even made the whole experience much more interesting. She couldn’t wait to finally meet Fine_Gentleman82 who had so far checked all her boxes. She was sure he was the one. She just remembered she’s not even asked his name. He hadn’t asked her either and it had seemed they’ve always known each other. She sent him a message, “quick question, just realized I haven’t asked your name. I’m Ama, what about you?” “Kofi” with a smiling emoji “😊” was the response she received.

Friday was here. She told Adjo to call her every 30 minutes incase she needed an excuse to leave. She dressed up in her favorite shirt and grey jeans trousers and curled up her hair. She’s excited to finally meet the man who will probably be her soulmate but was nervous about how it will go. She got to the stadium and saw by the ticket booth. She couldn’t see his face as he had his head in the booth. She just knew he was the one. She got closer and said, “Excuse me sir, are you Kofi”? He turned and their eyes locked. “Ama”? Kofi asks. “Kofi Frimpong”, Ama exclaims. They both laugh and hugged each other. Kofi and Ama dated in high school until Kofi’s father died and he had to move to stay with his grandma.

They were truly meant for each other and found each other after all these years.
