Valentine's Special: Thank you Sanu❤️

Do you even realize how someone can change your life?

Have you experienced such a change in your life?

Do you remember your first love? first heartbreak? Or, even the first feeling of butterflies in the tummy?

In this journal of mine, on this special day, I wanted to dedicate this article to one of the best people I have ever met, I call her Sanu❤️ with love.

How did it start?

Around 4 years back, around this time of the year, I don’t remember the actual date we got together, but I remember how it started!

I had finished my SEE exam and was in Kathmandu for +2 education. It was around the start of Feb or maybe the end of Jan. One fine day, a girl who was a junior in my school replied to a random story I shared.

That phase of my life was kinda hard for me. I had left my hometown and came to the city of the unknown where every person I saw was just a stranger to me.

Even asking for the direction was tough for me. Being an introvert I hated the interaction with the people. That introverted nature of myself made life even more difficult for me.

I was going through a first and dead serious heartbreak during that phase of life. Add homesickness and taking the wrong stream in +2. All these things put me in a bad place and almost (or I was ) depressed.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, she enters my life!

She became the only reason for my happiness. Her strict family was the reason for us, being able to talk once a week or even once a month. Unlike love these days, we had the story of the 90’s.

I always appreciated her efforts. Whenever she got the chance to use her parent’s mobile. She used to run to a “Makai Bari” near her home and video call me with a lot of caution. She used to talk slowly almost whispering. Imagine the pressure of family and society members who could put her in big trouble.

These would rarely happen, once a month (at most). Although this was not a frequent conversation considering the fact we were in long distance. She was in my hometown and I was in the valley.

That one call, that single photo she sent was enough for me to wait for another conversation. I didn’t mind that at all, she was just 14 at that time.

Hey Sanu, I never thought you were serious. Instead, I thought it was puberty that was clicking in.

At that point, I was not aware if I was in love. But sure thing, you were the reason for my happiness.

First time I saw her…

It was a sunny day of the month of Bhaishak, I was in my hometown. I was going to Itahari, but I was stressed out with something ( I didn’t remember what it was ).

By god grace, I saw her. She was with her father ( couldn’t talk ). Our eyes met and that was enough to melt my stress. Just looking at her made me happy and that day I realized I was in love.

Rough and Tough…

You found me in the rough situation of my life and you decided to provide me with love and care.

In a month, 4 years of togetherness will be completed. I am in one of the tough situations again. You still motivate and help me to not overthink. Back then, I was more mature than you. Now, you handle my rough and tough times with maturity.

I can’t find words how important you are to me and I hope you know my mom loves you more than I do.

Thank you love!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Sanu❤️

This long distance seems to have no end… it’s hard but worth it!

Missing you has been a part of my routine!
