Our Love  Story

IF IT’S MEANT TO BE, FATE WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY.


She still remembers the very first time she saw him—a little boy no older than six or seven, crying with a runny nose, looking so small and helpless in the world. And yet, even then, something unexplainable tugged at her. A quiet spark.

“He’s going to grow up really handsome someday,” she thought.


And then came the wildest thought of all—one that made her blush even as a child:

“What if he becomes my boyfriend one day?”


Life carried them forward, scattering them into their own separate worlds. When their paths crossed again, they were no longer children but young adults already committed to other people. She was in college then. Slowly, naturally, they found their way back into each other’s orbit—yet very few casual conversations shared familiar faces in the same circle of friends. 


One ordinary day, he asked for her number. She handed it over without thinking twice—no intentions, no hopes, just a simple gesture between acquaintances. 


Then she heard, he broke up with her girlfriend… and just like that, he vanished from her life once more. 


Four or five more years drifted by. Then fate—stubborn, playful, and persistent—put them in the same place again. While she was tending their store, he came and bought some stuff. He asked for her number again, and once more, she gave it freely, assuming he just wanted to reconnect with their common friends. 


But that moment… that small, unassuming moment… was the beginning of everything. The beginning of all the chaos, all the laughter, all the late-night talks, all the love.

All the beautiful craziness. 🤣❤️ 


Fast forward to today—twelve years later.

Twelve years of choosing, losing, finding, and growing.

Twelve years that proved some people are written into your story long before you realize their purpose.


Through every distance, every reunion, every twist and turn, one truth stayed constant:



If it’s meant to be, fate will always bring two souls back to each other.

And in their story, fate brought them back together—not once, not twice, but again and again—

until forever finally felt like the most natural ending. 💫❤️
