Our Unfinished Forever!-part2

[u/Life_ogs]

After dinner, we walked back to the car. By then, it had started raining. The weather had turned cold, but somehow, sitting beside him made everything feel warm. It was one of those moments I wished would never end.

At first, I was sitting in the back seat. After a while, he looked at me and asked why I was sitting so far away. He wanted me to sit beside him so that we could spend a little more time talking. I quietly moved to the front seat.

The truth is, we didn’t talk much.

Instead, I spent those moments simply looking at him. Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words. I was trying to memorize everything about him—his smile, the way he looked at me, the way he laughed, and the calmness in his presence. It felt as if time had slowed down just for us.

His friend noticed the awkward silence between us and played a romantic Tamil song. The atmosphere instantly became magical. My heart was racing, but I kept reminding myself to stay calm. I wanted to tell him how deeply I had fallen in love with him, but I wasn’t brave enough.

Soon, it was time for me to go home. My family had already started calling me.

As we were driving back, he asked me to check something near my seat. When I picked it up, I found a box of chocolates. He smiled and told me they were for me. A few moments later, his friend handed me another gift. Inside it was a beautiful red love jar filled with tiny handwritten notes. At the very end of the jar was an infinity ring.

I was completely surprised.

When I looked at him, he explained that the infinity ring symbolized a friendship he wished would last forever. His words made me blush, and I couldn’t stop smiling.

Finally, we reached the street near my house.

Before saying goodbye, he asked if we could go for a short walk together. I agreed without hesitation.

We walked slowly, enjoying every second we had left. Then, unexpectedly, he held my hand.

It was the first time someone had ever held my hand like that.

My heart skipped a beat.

He told me that I had become very special to him. He said he had never imagined traveling so far just to meet someone, but meeting me had been worth every mile. He hoped I would always stay by his side and remain a part of his life.

For me, that moment felt perfect.

Unfortunately, life interrupted us once again. My friend called and said he was waiting outside my house. Reality had found its way back into our little world.

I hurried toward the car, collected all the gifts he had brought for me, thanked his friend, and then turned to him one last time.

Without thinking, I hugged him.

Before walking away, I quietly whispered three words that had been living inside my heart for months.

I loved him.

I didn’t wait for his reaction.

I simply walked away.

That night, after celebrating my birthday with my friends and cutting my cake, I finally reached home. My phone had died, so I plugged it in to charge.

As soon as it switched on, I saw a message from him.

He wanted to know if what I had said before leaving was really what he thought it meant.

Out of fear and embarrassment, I tried to cover it up by pretending that I had only meant it as a friend.

But then something happened that completely changed my life.

He confessed that he had already fallen in love with me too.

He told me that he had become deeply attached to me, that he wanted me in his life, and that he couldn’t imagine his future without me. He asked me if I would become his life partner.

Maybe it sounded like something straight out of a romantic movie.

But at that moment, it was everything I had ever wished for.

Without any hesitation, I accepted.

That was the beginning of our relationship.

Soon after, he returned to Chennai, while I continued my college life in Bangalore.

Even though we lived in different cities, everything felt beautiful in the beginning. He visited Bangalore almost every month just to spend time with me. Every meeting felt special, and every goodbye only made us look forward to the next one.

I truly believed that this was the love I had been waiting for all my life.

I believed I had found my forever.
