Chapter 7 - Mirage- The Twinflame Journey

As I settled into my spiritual journey, I made a conscious decision to distance myself from George, focusing instead on nurturing my inner self and advancing my academic pursuits. The urge to reach out was a constant hum in the background, but I resisted, redirecting my energy into studies and personal growth. Online classes, a necessity due to the prevailing political climate, turned out to be a blessing in disguise – I could attend from anywhere, and my out-of-city classes provided a welcome respite from familiar surroundings.

Yet, my mind couldn't help but wander to thoughts of love, soulmates, and life partners. Curiosity got the better of me, and I found myself down a rabbit hole of research, stumbling upon concepts I'd never encountered before. The more I read, the more I realized my experiences were not unique; others had walked similar paths, grappling with similar emotions. It was as if the universe was nudging me toward a new understanding, urging me to explore the mysteries of the human experience.

My youthful energy and spiritual curiosity led me to the Law of Attraction, a practice embraced by many for manifesting desires. I was fascinated by the idea that my thoughts could shape my reality, that I could attract positivity and abundance by focusing on the right energies. Intrigued, I delved deeper, learning about affirmations and the power of positivity. I reflected on my past – a silent, complaining kid, often unhappy, always seeking validation. The Law of Attraction taught me that happiness was key to achieving my goals, that I needed to cultivate inner peace to attract outer abundance.

I started small, writing affirmations, adopting the 369 method, repeating them three times a day. Belief, trust, and manifestation became my mantra. I immersed myself in the practice, reading stories of people who'd manifested their desires, and I felt a spark of hope. Maybe, just maybe, I could attract my ideal partner.

As I practiced, I felt myself attracting someone similar to me – heartbroken, perhaps, but eager to connect. One day, I messaged a classmate, asking if I could reach out to our peers. She agreed, but I felt a wave of embarrassment, questioning my motives. Why did I want to connect with boys? What would she think? The old insecurities crept in, but I pushed them aside, focusing on the present moment.

That night, a vivid dream shook me awake. I saw Cizain, Uzziel's best friend, someone I was close to. We'd shared laughter, secrets, and dreams. I couldn't shake the feeling that this dream meant something. Why him? Was it just my subconscious processing old memories, or was it something more? 😊

In the dream, Cizain and I were inseparable, hugging like we'd been apart for ages. It felt so real, like I was reconnecting with an old friend. But was it just a dream, or was my subconscious weaving a narrative? I had no idea if he even remembered me, let alone felt something more. The uncertainty lingered, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something to it.

I confided in my sister, sharing every detail. She smiled knowingly, revealing that Cizain used to observe me secretly in school. My mind spun with possibilities, and I started believing he must have had feelings for me back then. The thought sent a thrill through me. Maybe this was it – the unexpected twist I was waiting for.

A week passed, and I decided to take the plunge. I messaged him, unsure what I'd say or how he'd respond. The wait was agonizing. I kept reminding myself of the Law of Attraction – trust the process, believe in the outcome. The more I thought about it, the more I convinced myself he was the one. Love wasn't just romance novels; it was something primal, something that made you feel alive.

But was it love, or was it just the thrill of the unknown? Affection, lust, attraction – they can masquerade as love, making us believe we've found 'the one'. I didn't care; I wanted to believe. I craved the rush of emotions, the sense of connection. I started writing new affirmations, focusing on him, on us. I wanted him to love me, to choose me. 😊

The moment I saw his reply, my heart did a little flip. I was ecstatic, a mix of exhilaration and nerves coursing through my veins. I tried to play it cool, typing out a casual "Hey, how's it going?" and asking about Uzziel, like it was just another friendly chat. But inside, I was a bundle of anticipation, waiting for his response.

The conversation was a blur, ending as quickly as it started. I stared at the screen, re-reading our brief exchange, searching for hidden meanings. The doubts crept in, like a thief in the night, whispering "maybe he's not interested" and "you misread everything". The high of his reply began to wear off, leaving me wondering if I'd imagined the whole connection.

I threw myself back into my affirmations, tweaking them, practicing them with renewed fervor. I devoured content from the Law of Attraction community – movies, stories, podcasts – anything to distract me from the uncertainty. But my mind kept wandering back to Cizain, replaying our brief chat, analyzing every word.

And then, there were the dreams. Oh, the dreams. Cizain was back, starring in my subconscious movies – kissing me, holding my hand, laughing with me. It was like my mind had become a rom-com production, churning out fantasies I didn't know I had. I woke up each morning feeling a little more invested, a little more hopeful. Was it just my imagination, or was something real pulling us together?

The wait was agonizing. Would he message again?

I was right – he was thinking about me, and he finally started messaging me frequently, eager to know more about me. He knew I was innocent, that I'd never jumped into relationships, and he wasn't interested in my past. He was making an effort, creating a fake ID to keep our conversations secret, like he was hiding a precious treasure. He asked about my likes, shared stories about other girls, maybe trying to gauge my reactions, test my feelings. But I was oblivious, unaware of the game he was playing, lost in the excitement of his attention.

He'd ask about his "best friend" – a girl he was supposedly helping – but she didn't exist, just a fabrication to keep me at arm's length. My mind latched onto her, wondering, "Who is she? Why is he talking about her so much?" Then came the question: would I date him? He shared his past heartbreak, how his ex had left him for not spending enough time with her, how he'd thrown himself into his career, studying hard to join the army. We chatted all day, both of us enjoying the connection, laughing, sharing dreams. He was giving me time, exploring the possibility.

But then, the weird request: he didn't want to be my boyfriend, just friends who chat. He was afraid of emotions, didn't want to hurt me, like he was walking on thin ice, scared of falling. I saw through it – he was scared of his own feelings, scared of losing control. I agreed, trusting that we'd end up together, that this was just a detour on the path to something real.

We were similar – both loved the army, both had dreams of serving something bigger. I adored his gentleness, his personality, the way he cared about others. But he wasn't what he seemed, a puzzle with pieces still missing. I stumbled upon the concept of twin flames – souls split apart, searching for each other, destined to be together. It resonated; I believed he was mine, the missing piece I'd been searching for.

Our first meetup was a whirlwind – hugs that lingered, cycling through parks, exploring hidden corners of the city. But beneath the surface, I was crying out for emotional connection, for someone to see me, really see me. He was controlling, confused, scared of my emotions and expectations, like a bird trying to cage a butterfly. He'd pull away, then push me to leave him, find someone else, like he was testing my love, seeing if I'd stay.

Months passed; he'd message me, then go silent, only to ask me to move on, find someone who'd love me better. On my birthday, he asked me to leave, like a slap to the face. I was broken, shattered into a million pieces. Why, despite all our efforts, did he push me away? Fear – fear of love, fear of loss, fear of being vulnerable. He made a mistake; I was ready to make it work, but he wasn't .

He had the capability of doing the best as i believe he must have achieved his career goal. I would have helped him out staying positive and stayed by his side but he was blind. Blind in his own darkness his system was corrupted with wrong believes and wrong people. He did the same mistake which I made . Choosing a person who was already committed to the one who never wanted to be with them. Exactly same destiny which I attracted.
