My Instagram Love Story: "Makes My Life Happier"

Hi Friends! I'm Hanna, and today, I want to share my love story with you. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed living it.

One day, while I was scrolling through reels on Instagram, I received a friend request from a boy. His profile was private, and though he looked handsome in his tiny profile picture, I had no idea that this boy would become such a significant part of my life. I didn’t accept or reject his request—I just left it in my friend request feed. He also did't know that we both have a future. 

A little while later, he sent me a simple message: "Hey girl!" But I didn’t respond right away. In fact, I didn’t reply until three or four days later. I had so many friends to chat with that I didn’t give it much thought. But one night, around 2:00 a.m., I woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. I grabbed my phone and started browsing Instagram. That’s when I remembered his message and replied, thinking it was late and he might not even be awake.

To my surprise, he replied almost immediately. We started chatting, and I found out that he worked night shifts, which is why he was awake at such a late hour. From that night on, our conversations became a regular thing, and we got to know each other better.

After one month he proposed me, and I directly said no to him. We got into a fight, so then I thought maybe he would not message me again, but next day he sent a "Good Morning" message like nothing had happened. So I also talked nicely with him, This became his daily routine he always asked me when you will say yes to me, and I also say no, never in a very funny way, and I don't know why I was not angry now when he asks me for a relationship.

Over the next six months, we continued this routine. We fought maximum time at night, but every morning he sent a good morning message innocently, and I was like, Aww, he is so cute. I started to fall in love with his cuteness. He was very innocent when I asked him something, and he replied in a different way that time. I knew that answer was totally different, but I said, "Okay, nice, in a laughing way, and with that feeling, he is also cute. So I am also starting to like him only with his cuteness and innocence.

Then, one night at 2:00 a.m., just like when we first started talking, he asked me again if I would be his girlfriend. This time, I said yes. He was so shocked that he asked if I was serious. I reassured him that I was, and he replied with an "I love you" that made my heart race like never before. It was a moment of pure joy, mixed with nerves because I was experiencing these feelings for the first time.

I hesitated to reply with "I love you too" because it felt so new and overwhelming. Instead, I awkwardly typed, "Thanks." Immediately, I regretted it, but he just laughed it off and said that it was okay—I understand. If you're not comfortable saying it now, that's okay. You can tell me you love me whenever you feel ready."

His understanding and patience made me realize how special he was. Suddenly, I found myself typing "I love you too," and I quickly hid my face, waiting anxiously for his reply. After a few minutes of silence, he sent a message saying, "I will love you so much," and my heart melted. I knew then that this was the beginning of something beautiful.

From that moment on, our love story unfolded in the most wonderful way. That moment was so precious for me. Thank God. I said yes to him. Today, that boy is my husband, and he has kept his promise—he truly "Makes My Life Happier" every single day.

Thank you for reading my story. I’m so grateful that I took the chance on love, and I hope my story inspires you to do the same.
