First meeting with my my army boyfriend after 2 years of virtual relationship

Today was one of the most historic days in my life. After two years of virtual relationship with my army boyfriend, we finally met for the first time in person, because two years is not a short time. We went through many ups and downs during our two years of dating. Even so, the bond between our hearts felt so real and strong that it did not waver due to distance and time.

Since the beginning of our relationship, we have been open with each other's families. He knew my parents even more closely than my own friends, even he often called my aunt just to ask how she was doing or congratulate her on her birthday. It's the same with me. I'm already very familiar with his family, even often video calls also with his family especially his mama, his mama treats me like her own child, his younger siblings are also very friendly and polite. Although we have never met in person, our closeness is like a real family.

My boyfriend is a very dedicated soldier. His working hours are erratic, sometimes he has to be on duty far from where he lives, even in conditions that are difficult to get a good signal, but one thing that makes me touched, no matter how busy and tired he is, he always makes time to contact me, such as sending short messages 'I miss you' and sending his photos while on guard. When he's off, he spends his time telling me things, exchanging news and even planning our future together. His sincerity and loyalty made me believe and feel loved.

My special days are never spared from his attention. On my birthday, he sent me a surprise gift of a necklace with the initials of both of our names. Even though at that time he was outside the island, but still took the time to order a gift and send it on time. Not just a gift he even sent a birthday greeting video for me, he was the first person to say it for me, I was very touched and happy because he really celebrated me on my birthday. All his efforts over the years made me believe that I was sincerely loved by someone amazing.

 

I myself am currently in the process of studying, and I can't deny that sometimes I feel overthinking, not because I don't trust him, but because his profession as a soldier often makes me hear that he will easily approach midwives and nurses. I also felt insecure, afraid of feeling inferior to women who were often around him while on duty. But my boyfriend always convinced me that his choice was me. Many times he always told me that he had chosen me and I was the place for him to go home, those words calmed my heart.

And finally, the moment we dreamed of came too, I picked him up at the station, that morning my heart was beating very fast, my hands were sweating even my legs were shaking. When I saw him walking out of the carriage in his official uniform I recognised him immediately. He looked much more handsome and also dashing than I had ever seen from a mobile phone screen. His face looked tired but after seeing me his eyes lit up. We smiled at each other, then walked slowly towards each other. In that second, all our memories during the virtual relationship seemed like a passing wind.

My first hug with her was a healing hug. Today after picking him up from the airport I took him for a walk together while remembering and retelling about our virtual relationship, while we sat in the city park and ate together he immediately told me that many of his friends failed in maintaining a long-distance relationship, but he told me and convinced me that he would not waver in maintaining our relationship. After our meeting he finally took me to my house and met my family, I was very happy that he politely greeted my family and he even brought souvenirs before going home, after talking a lot with my family he took a break temporarily until tomorrow at my house because tomorrow I will take him to the airport again so that he returns to North Sumatra where he and his family live.

   

Arriving in the morning I woke him up and told him to clean up so that I could take him to the airport again, and during the trip I was always sticky with him imagining his departure again it felt very sad to be left back but I couldn't do anything because his family was also waiting for his presence in Sumatra, arriving at the airport he immediately said goodbye to me and I was crying and lamenting his departure, And after his departure I immediately spoke in my heart "that the meeting is not only a meeting between two people but between two hearts that are always loyal to always maintain love, and I know we can go through all the twists and turns in our relationship as long as we trust each other, maintain communication, and also support each other so that our relationship lasts."
