After our date night, we both became busy with our work. We talk on the phone and text all the time but we haven't met each other since the last date and it had been almost 15 days. But I have to admit, Rohit is a supporting and calm person. He knows when to give a person space and when to be there for you. If I get sad, He is the first person these days I go to ramble about and he calmly hear me, tells me If I am wrong and then try to explain things to me.

Last night, I called him at approx 11 pm and I kept rambling about stupid things until 1 am and Rohit was there listening, talking, making me laugh. He gives me confidence, makes me strong. I know If one day I decided to come out to my family and society, there will be people who will judge me, spread hate towards me and there is a chance that they will even try to bully and hurt me but I feel little confident that there is a person with me now who will stand with me.

I woke up this morning again with a text from my mom and 2 missed calls from dad. It is a festive holiday, so, I had to go home. But  I don't want to go home, not because I don't like spending time with my family but because I know that my parents will surely try to set me up on a blind date with some girl. Since I have to go home anyway so I decided that I will tell them this time not to force or annoy me and to stop setting blind dates for me.

I called Rohit and told him that I have to go home and I won't be able to talk to him much. He said it's okay and asked me to take care of myself. I also told him that this time, I will stand up for myself and not let them make my decisions for me. Rohit took a few seconds in replying and asked me to be careful and to call him first if there is any trouble. He will be there.

The fact that he only met me once, even though we talk to each other almost daily we haven't been on another date, he isn't even my boyfriend right now yet somehow he still cares for me, look out for me worry for me make my stomach flutter.

It's not like I am dependent on him or blindly trust him. No.

It's just that there is this one person for everyone who gives us strength, motivates us to be the best version of ourselves and not to be afraid of anyone, and to live freely. Rohit is that person for me.

His one sentence made me feel so calm, gave me so much strength that I can't even describe.

"He will be there for me."

It is enough for me at the moment.
