Abhijeet and me lived in the same city, went to the same school, went to the same junior college, yet never bumped into each other till 3rd sem of our engineering. We were introduced by a mutual friend. Once I commented that he looks very grown-up in formal shirts which then on he never wore again ( he went extra lengths and even refused to wear one for a formal presentation )
We fell in love over bike rides, harry potter novels and hopping around all chaat stalls in Dombivli.
Not everyone remembers the exact moment they knew that he/she is ‘THE ONE’ but I do, very clearly. Abhi was telling me (in a time lapse format) about how he sees himself in the next 10 years when I just realized I was present in background of every frame he was describing.
After college, Abhi left for the US to pursue his Master’s… and then started a 4 year phase of long distance…. After being around each other most part of day it went to just stealing a few minutes over the phone…
3 years later, I moved to Buffalo for my Masters… Once every month he travelled 8 hours by bus to just see me over the weekend… After my Masters I was overjoyed on receiving a job offer in D.C….. And so here we are….
We cant believe its been 7 years.. All this time we have evolved around each other. Abhi bought stability to my flighty personality where in I bought spontaneity to his. We are looking forward to the beginning of many new chapters in our story..
