I still vividly recall the day of our first date. It was five years after passing out grade twelfth.
We made a few promises, one of which included talking to our parents regarding our relationship- a relationship which was a symphony of love, defied the language of words, control of the world and a relationship which was bound by trust, loyalty, care and woven in tapestry of vulnerability.
As we parted ways at school, a fear crept in. Long-distance relationships tested loyalty, trust, austerity and patience with our partner.
Doubts lingered, I knew it was tough to not be involved with another person when your partner is living at a long distance. Yet my trust in you silenced my doubt, reinforcing our unshakable bond. I knew, sweetheart, you'd kill yourself before cheating on me. I knew the love you had for me surpassed what you showed. I knew everything.
We were teenagers, naive about relationships, loyalty, honesty and other mature emotions like love. I had always thought that our love was just a result of affection between my testosterone and your estrogen.
But, time flew away. We were adults, far more mature and our love for each other just grew. Time made our bond more powerful than ever, transcended eternal emotions.
I still remember when you came to meet my parents and apparently told them everything, shared our love story. Society referred to it as the work of a man, of mine. I thought it was me who would initiate the talk about our relationship to your parents but the positions were switched and I was proud.
A warm smile spreads across my face as I recall the day my mother called, her words painted a vivid picture in my mind: a young woman, accompanied by her parents, sat in our drawing room, claiming she loves me. Instantly, I knew - it was you.
This morning's surge of adrenaline now made sense; my distraction from work was now making sense.
I confessed everything, expecting her anger, as I'd never given a hint of our relationship to her. But her calm response stunned me: she knew about it all along. Her unwavering understanding filled every nerve of my being with joy.
That day was overwhelming. Our parents' agreement to our union only confirmed what we already knew - our lovely bond was unshakably strong.
Even if our engagement was in a week but with our marriage date set months apart, I felt a strong urge to meet you. Have you all to me, after years.
And, there came our first date.
