26th of April 2012
This is the day I met you. I keep thinking
about the wonderful months we have spent together. But I still cannot find one
more beautiful than this one.
I was at my friend’s place, for her mehendi
ceremony. I was looking around for you since morning. I was curious to see the
man who everyone was talking about with so much zeal. But more importantly, I
wanted to once meet the guy who made me blush without even talking to me
directly. Unknowingly - the guy who I
was supposed to spend the rest of my life with- Now I understand the
restlessness. It was just three days ago that we had had an encounter on a
social networking site over a picture, debating. I distinctly remember every
word of that conversation- without having to revisit it even once. I remember
how I gallantly stalked your profile and saw a picture of you, blushed the
moment it went on full screen and shut down the computer, wondering what dawned
over me to stalk someone I don’t even know. That is not me. Then again, I
changed completely ever since I met you - and that change had begun that very
instant.
Just when my impatience was reaching its
peak, you entered- more like brought life into the room- suddenly all the
hustle and bustle of a wedding home was background music to me, and all that
seemed to exist from that very instant was you. I noticed your voice- still
crazy about it. Noticed how you had an eyebrow piercing - and noticed how I was
developing an interest in you. I remember thinking each and every second of
that day, ‘this is so not me’, and trying to let go. But it had to happen.
I remember being teased earlier that day- about
being yours. Little did I know that I really was.
You struck up a conversation, flirted, yet
made me feel so comfortable. Somehow everything happened at a perfect time- we
flirted, worked together, even shared plates! You talked about wedding rings-
made a joke about having our names engraved on each other’s platinum bands. It
was a joke- yet it did not seem weird or funny. It felt so right, as it has
always meant to be. That one day (and each day since) gave me the happiness of
a thousand days together.
Something- not God, not me, not you-
something in this universe knew we were supposed to be- and whatever IT was, it
knew what was to come- even though we didn’t. The day you proposed, just a
couple of days later- did not seem too soon. Hearing the words ‘I love you’ from
you did not seem too soon, I believed you- because IT knew there is no denying
what is to happen. You making a trip across the country to meet me in just ten days
did not seem wrong- because IT knew. And when I saw you before my eyes, “I”
knew that this is where I want to be, and need to be for the rest of my life.
IT knew before we did- but when we did, we
made sure we made it work, without the constraints of a long distance
relationship, fights, and the endless number of reasons the world could give us
to not be together. It was hard- but today I feel it was all worth it.
On this day, the 26th
of April, exchanging platinum bands with our names engraved on them, just like
you had mentioned exactly a year ago - I feel that whatever bad times we have been through,
and whatever bad times that are yet
to come- I know we will do great at life and I know we will be in it together-
and that is all that matters to me.
Forever yours.
