Born This Way

A Week In My Life

Monday, June 2013

It happened first time. Few days left for the start of engineering course and hence we planned a full fun night out.

Amongst four of us, Trisha is always the first person with whom I have a special bond. At midnight, other two fell asleep.

Trisha and I were still talking about how out lives have changes and the future things. We went to terrace to feel cold breeze, had a cup of coffee by looking at stars.

I just wanted to tell Trisha, but couldn't. I just looked at her, smiled and hugged her. That was the most beloved memory of mine.

I love spending more time with Trisha. I think this is the perfect time I should tell her about me, my feelings .

But how should I tell her?

Nowadays, I stand in front of mirror and start thinking about myself. But I like real me. I have to take a stand for myself.

Wednesday, September 2015

It's the submission period. Trisha called me and I went to her house. It was all a mess around her room.

She was never like this.

I asked her. Something was holding her back from telling me. I asked her if it was her recent breakup.

She suddenly looked right in my eyes. All mixed feelings started flowing within her body. She was frightened, confused, and full of self doubts and negativity.

Slowly, she started talking. And then, she came at a point where she looked down at the floor and then she told me that she like girls.

I just took a deep breath.

Thursday, May 2016

It was her birthday today. We celebrated with her parents, all our friends. It was fun.

A week ago, we decided to tell our other 2 best friends about this, our relationship.

But before that, Trisha texted me, "Thank you for understanding me, for giving me support, for believing in me and for making my life beautiful again. Thank you for everything, my love."

I read the message and looked at her. She was smiling at me with tears in her eyes. I got another meaning of life - Love.

Friday, July 2017

We got jobs. We thought now is the time to tell our parents.

It was not easy. I invited Trisha's parents for dinner. Before dinner, Trisha and I told them about us.

For a moment, it was silence.

Somehow, Trisha's parents had about this. But my parents were not agreeing for this.

Saturday, December 2018

India created history about section 377. We were happy. Time flies. I convinced my parents, again.

They took their time but later, agreed on our relationship. I felt proud of them.

Sunday, August 2019

Today, Trisha and I got married.

From giving support to each other for being real one to this day, it was really a roller coaster ride but worth it.

We are proud of ourselves and our parents, friends.
