Surely title will make them think I'm really bad at geography or that I have mistaken the article ... as neither one nor the other.

The men of the earth, regardless of nationality, when they want to get something or just want to get rid of someone are striving to achieve.

I have a single friend, picking the 50, who long criticized the practice of accessing the Internet to find friends, but curiosity killed the cat and one day was recorded on a page of love and friendship.

The first two or three months there was nothing interesting, the odd exchange of messages that are not repeated, known pair added to the Hotmail and Messenger to the conclusion that the chat is a waste of time because people almost never share your interests and offer you things are not what they want or would accept.

However all broke up the monotony a day when someone impressed.

Your name Julio, (of course the real name if you omit the protagonist reading this article) English, widow, one daughter, doctor, polite, sweet, interesting issues ... in short, a good prospect . July the board saying he wanted to talk to her, that his profile had impressed and definitely the description of herself that was offered was so close to their ideal partner needed, begged and dreamed that would allow the possibility to meet her personally.

My friend, who call Ana to name it, I was thrilled and I spent hours on the computer, telling him about your goals, your job, your doubts, confusions, concerns, your life ... in July, all love, kindness and understanding will expressing their feelings, asked confidence as he had imagined the meeting, as he lived for that moment, he swore eternal love for the last years of their lives and suddenly began to make plans, come live with her and together they begin to again.

Ana becomes convinced that they would be the perfect couple.

An evening of chat, Julio told I had 90 ballots in the hospital where she worked to put him on medical mission to Afghanistan, she was amazed, I protest, I implore you not to accept, but would assure that only two months and would not change anything in plans, probably that time would fly and also had made sure not to lose, for which he had bought a satellite device the size of a pen that would provide 90 hours of access, daily contact for three months is well dosed help maintain communication and keep abreast of what was happening.

Ana was happy, sure of his love and asked us several friends to pray for your safe return CyberNovio home and plans were met meeting in late November.

The day we went to Afghanistan in July, Ana got up early and surprised him with a call to his cell, giving all the emotional support he could through the telephone line, I urge you to swear to take care , asked her to promise not to expose and I swear unconditional love.

July thanked the details and promised to contact her since it was possible.

From that day, Ana carefully reviewed the newspapers looking for news from Afghanistan and Julio kept his promise to connect every day of the first week.

One afternoon he said he would be absent from the chat for two or three days because they were on a journey of exploration ... Ana was distressed, but he said there was no danger and since then lost contact.

She calls her friends and told anguished detail, gave him encouragement, we mourn and promised to communicate with acquaintances in Spain they could get direct news on the situation of doctors in mission.

After three weeks in which he wrote a daily message to your loved giving encouragement, reminding shared dreams and praying for him, ana decided to connect to Hotmail chat and surprise! In the news of the messenger of a sudden read ... Julio has just published new photos and a note on Martha's profile.

He was happy, at least one photo of July, the connection probably will not hit for more and thinking did she find out about it, but who was Martha? probably a friend who wrote to then send him the photos.

Afghanistan Photos ... photos of the horror that her lover was living ... and clipping innovations.

Then, amid the joy felt nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, his eyes could not believe what he saw ... his July there in the middle of the gate count, in a square the colonial area, opposite the restaurant Pat 'e Palo, possibly with this Martha, embracing, happy, love.

hastily sought note ... "Honey, I used to you."

froze, with open mouth, broken and incredulous ... Her man had collapsed, closed his eyes and visualize that image apart in the middle of the screen, and a mixture of laughter and tears gushed laugh your chest ...

God! I did not know Afghanistan was so close!
