KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 ― A video of an Indonesian man sobbing in front of a shop in Kota Padang Panjang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, has gone viral on social media.
He was weeping in the video posted by fakta.indo on its Instagram account after his love was rejected by the woman he loved and hoped for.
He met the woman while playing the war game Mobile Legends, and love sparked between the two Indonesian youngsters.
However, his long motorbike ride all the way from Pekanbaru to Padang Panjang (236 kilometres to be exact) to meet his ideal girlfriend ended in heartbreak as his love was apparently rejected by the woman.
Mobile Legends is a mobile multiplayer online battle arena, developed and released by Moonton, a subsidiary of ByteDance, has grown in popularity in Southeast Asia, and it was one of the titles picked for the inaugural medal event E-sports competition at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in Philippines.
The man's plight drew the attention of a large number of individuals.
“Did she call you a bad guy? Has he turned down your love?” she asked.
He replied “Yes”, while nodding his head.
It is obvious that humanity did not fail as many people were seen consoling and supporting the devastated man, even during this ongoing worldwide Covid-19 pandemic.

“Love depends on the amount of prepaid top up,” one user said.
“Love depends on skin colour,” said a second comment.
“Why didn’t you try making a video call before meeting her?” another comment read.
