✨ Our Journey ✨

It all started on June 27, 2025 at 4 to 5 PM.

I sent her a message on Snapchat:

She replied,

Then I asked,

She said,

I responded,

Curious, I asked if she was a student. She told me she's doing a BS in Psychology. Then I wanted to know where she was from. She said "SGD" — and out of nowhere, I felt this sudden happiness. That's my hometown too.

My interest spiked. I wanted to be her friend. All of this happened within just a couple of days — we started off like strangers, but soon we began giving each other attention. I'd ask for a bit of delay during chats since I was mostly at work during the day, and she was always understanding. That made me feel she was genuinely nice.

As days passed, our chats became more consistent. We greeted each other every day. I started feeling like we could become best friends. I began asking her about her hobbies, how she spends her time — the kind of stuff friends talk about. I asked her what she loves most. She replied:

She's a tea lover. It's like "Chae is for her" the way Dunhill is for me.

I remember those moments clearly — whenever I shared something, she'd truly listen. She's one of the most understanding people I've ever met, and that's something I genuinely admire about her. I'd often talk about my past — those carefree days spent playing football all day long. No worries about a career, no stress — just wake up, eat breakfast, hop on a cycle, and roam like a free bird. I'd leave home at 10 AM in winter and return by 6 PM. I miss those days — I think we all do.

Then one day, out of the blue, I asked for her Instagram. I was nervous — "What if she asks why? What do I even say?" But it was totally fine. She shared it, and from there, we started exchanging tons of reels. We'd discuss facts, reality, our opinions on different topics — and yeah, we both love German girls. Just kidding — by German girls, I meant German cars. 😅

My favorite is the Nissan GTR R-35. She has a few favorites too — for drifting, it's Mercedes, and casually she likes BMWs. She even recommended some movies and novels. I watched Saiyaara — it was awesome. Afterward, we shared our thoughts about it, and as I said earlier, our minds are strangely in sync. It's rare — finding someone from the opposite gender with such similar interests. It genuinely excites me.

By the way, one day she asked me,

I replied,

She got all excited and said,

That sparked a whole new conversation. I started sharing some of my past (and kinda hilarious) experiences with cats — especially the ones involving me and my mom. My mom was totally against having cats in the house. But once, I sneaked one in... and let's just say, I got a proper beating for it! 😂

Honestly though, it turned into one of those memories that you laugh about forever.

Even now, we keep that vibe alive — we still share the craziest cat memes with each other on Instagram. It's like our little inside joke that never gets old.

Sometimes, we talk about the kind of friendship we share. I've never experienced a bond like this — so pure and respectful. Whether it's a small choice or a deep opinion, everything feels valued. It's been almost a month, and yet it feels like I've known her soul for years. I don't know what this is, but it's something really special.

We also play Ludo on our phones. She's a pro — no kidding. We've played over 10 games, and I've only won maybe two. Still, playing with her is always fun. I do have a tiny complaint though — she promised to play chess with me but hasn't yet. But honestly, I don't mind. Maybe she's not into it or just hasn't found the time.

We both have amazing playlists. Hers is super cool and romantic — especially the 90s stuff. On my end, I enjoy a mix of Bollywood and Hollywood, with a sprinkle of 90s tracks too. But I've got to admit — her playlist is way better than mine.

Oh, and after two days of back-and-forth, she finally said yes and accepted my little "deal." I wanted to gift her headphones, but she had some hesitations — which I totally understood. She said, "I'm a girl, and people might question it," and I respected that. So she promised to accept the gift on her birthday instead. That made me happy. She prefers giving a gift over just taking it — and I told her I feel the same way. In the end, we were both happy with the arrangement.

Now, I'm just waiting for November 15 — for her birthday — so she can fulfill that promise. 😊

One day, she asked me,

I smiled and said, "Black—original, with a few cool strands of light gray."

Then I asked her the same question. She sent me some photos and said,

Honestly, I really liked that color too.

Then came the next question:

I said, "Straight."

She laughed and replied,

That sparked a moment of shared laughter between us.

Another time, I sent her a reel that asked:

Her response? Mind-blowing.

She said she'd love to go on a trip to Turkey—with me. We'd create epic memories, explore together, and just have the best time.

But that wasn't all—she said she wanted a perfect picnic, and even drifting! She imagined herself in a BMW, me in a Mercedes.

And the first thing she mentioned? Riding a heavy bike with me on a long highway.

I teased her, saying, "Just a heads up—I drive really fast!" 😄

Then she flipped the question back at me. I joked, "My wish is… that you fulfill all my wishes for the rest of my life!"

But then I shared my real answer—and it actually surprised her.

I told her my actual wish: A world tour, just the two of us. No one knowing who we are. Like a scene from a modern Hollywood film—two close friends, traveling the world, writing their own story. She loved the idea.

I added that we'd have a house near the mountains—fully equipped, with two rooms… But we'd still hang out in one, watching movies and playing video games together.

Her reaction?

That was such a golden moment in our conversation—pure imagination, pure connection.

Honestly, I truly wish we could spend some real time together—maybe in a cozy place like Shalimar City. Just us, sharing a meal, going shopping, making memories. And yes—I'd surprise her with a beautiful floral set, just to celebrate our amazing friendship. It's all possible… though I understand her situation. But if it ever does happen—wow, it would be something unforgettable.

She felt bad from my text when I said explore the world:

Said

So I just said sorry to her for that and tried to make her calm. It was hard to like yeahhhhhh make her good at that time but she being a good girl and she let that go.

I sometimes wake up before she does. The first thing I do is send her a "Good morning" text, and then I just watch some reels. Of course, I send her the funny ones I find, too! She sleeps a bit later, but when she wakes up, she sees my texts, replies to the videos, and even sends back some of her own favorites.

Even though I haven't seen her yet, being with her, even through texts, makes me feel like she is a lovely, beautiful flower and I am the gardener. I just get such a good, happy feeling from her, and I can't help but fall for it.

Our friendship grew quickly and became very strong. We started spending the whole day together, talking about interesting facts, sending funny videos, and just enjoying each other's company. What made it feel truly special was how thoughtful she was: whenever she needed to step away to do things like cooking or spend time with her family, she always let me know, saying, "I'll see you later, I need to do this."

That simple act of telling me she was going offline to handle her day felt so incredibly good—it showed real respect and made our connection feel so genuine.

One day, I decided to take a chance and tried to ask her, subtly, if she might be interested in us taking the next step and starting a relationship. She in return said, that for a few personal reasons, she wasn't ready for that right now. Her reply was:

She added that friendship felt like the truest kind of connection, and that was what felt right to her at this moment.

Hearing her response definitely made me feel a little sad inside. I quickly tried to remind myself, "She is just a friend," which is what a good friend should do, but it was hard because I was also falling for her more every day. That whole moment felt heavy and low, and before long, she noticed the change and asked me,

I was amazed that she could tell something was wrong, even though we were only texting. I knew I couldn't tell her the truth about being sad over her answer, as I didn't want to make things awkward. Instead, I just said,

We said goodnight then, but my mind wouldn't quiet down. I ended up lying awake until around 3 AM, just thinking, before I finally drifted off to sleep.

Then we spent some days waking up sharing reels and talking on the facts and after spending another week I just couldn't stop myself and thought I should try once again. And if her response will be the same then I will never tell her about how I feel for her, and I will just stay a good friend of her coz this is what she wants and her happiness was actually my win, coz yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

So again I told her "I love you" for the first time but not directly coz I was afraid that what she will feel that I am doing this again and again and it may feel bad to her. So I said:

And I hoped that she would understand, it was something like 4 PM when I told her this. And again her response was the same that we are good friends. And that was like I can't tell but so sad that it brought tears to my eyes. And she said that she need to cook dinner so yeahhhhh I was too upset to talk to her and I just said "yeahhhhh see you later"

Then she sent me a reel at approx 8:00 PM and we started to talk again where I was trying to appear normal so yeahhhhh I talked to her, then I had some work I asked her to see her later at 10 approx.

At 10 I came back:

Got a response:

Asked "How are you friend?" She said "I am fine, wbu?" I said "I am also Okayy" she said "good"

Then she shared some reels and we talked for a while...

At 11 PM +- she asked me:

I was like I don't think so. She said:

I tried to convince her that no there is nothing but coz I already made my mind that she is just a friend of me so I didn't want to make her think about this again and again coz I felt it weird to ask again as when I already know what's in her mind.

She said:

And then I thought I should tell her the truth and let's see what she says and I said:

And she said:

💕💕💕

I asked her that but you have been the one saying we are just friends, so how it came? She was like deep down I felt being loved by you, and it was like I was not ready for it due to past experiences and I said her:

She agreed with my statement and yeahhhhh tbh I felt so good that I have no words to express my happiness. ✨💖

That night was the real start of our love story. I remember looking at the time—it was 11:00 PM when we finally told each other how we felt. It felt so good to say it. We talked until 2:00 AM, just enjoying the love we had for each other. Finally, we said let's sleep, sent some sweet goodnight texts, and said goodnight.

But even after she went to sleep, I stayed awake for two more hours. I just lay there thinking about what a huge blessing this was. I kept thanking Allah for making it happen. I was so grateful that she decided to be closer to me. In my heart, I didn't just see us dating; I was already dreaming about her being my wife and me being her husband. And yeahhhhh in the end I made myself sleep thinking that Al Hamdulillah! The biggest thing of my life has been blessed by her confession.

From that night forward, my mind was focused on one thing: becoming the best boyfriend I could be. I knew I needed to make changes in myself. I decided I would always take care of her and respect her in every way. To me, showing respect and providing comfort is the most beautiful part of a relationship, and she truly deserved all of that. We had both been through a lot in life, and I wanted to make sure I was her safe place—a calm, secure spot where she always want to stay forever.

I made a mental list of things to focus on, but I promised myself I would still be natural; I wouldn't fake anything. The most important thing I decided was mutual understanding. No matter what happened, I promised to always understand her point of view and keep my ego completely out of the way. I understood that pushing ego aside is what brings real peace and understanding to a relationship. I decided to handle everything with care right from the very first day. And it is lovely to fall in love where you prioritize her before you and try to do something great often to make her smile and feel loved, this is the type of man I am.

Just a few days later, with the blessing of Allah and her constant support, my life changed again: I found a new job in Lahore. The date was September 20, 2025. I quickly texted her,

But before I could even explain, she guessed it perfectly.

She asked, and I was genuinely shocked by her intuition.

I replied. Her happiness poured through the phone, and feeling that joy from her was one of the most beautiful things.

Still, her happiness was mixed with a little sadness. The job meant I would be away during the day, cutting into our long talks. I quickly calmed her, reminding her that this was part of life and that I needed to work hard to build a future for us. I only had two days to pack everything and travel to the city.

That night, she became my organizer. She helped me create a detailed packing list, asking me what I needed while she wrote it down perfectly. The way she made that list was incredible. It was such a small effort, but it made me feel so deeply loved and cared for, proving once again that the simplest things are often the most beautiful.

Her list:

1. Tooth brush (2) • 2. Hair brush • 3. Tooth paste (2) • 4. Bed sheet • 5. Comforter • 6. 10 pair of shirts (formal) • 7. 4 pair of shirts (casual wear) • 8. Six pair of pants • 9. Shampoo (2) • 10. Soap (2) • 11. Towel (2) • 12. Shalwar kameez (4 pair) • 13. Vests (12) • 14. (1) kheri • 15. (1) sleepers • 16. (2) sneakers • 17. Formal shalwar kameez shoes • 18. Perfume • 19. Trimmer • 20. Laptop • 21. Charger • 22. Dairy • 23. Headphones • 24. Pen Drive • 25. Studs (2 pairs) • 26. Belts (3) • 27. Under wears (8) • 28. Trousers (4) • 29. Fit shirts (4) • 30. Socks • 31. Roll on

I finally reached Lahore on the weekend and that night was exhausted. I had to immediately deal with the hostel warden to sort out the room. Even while handling all the paperwork and getting settled, my mind never stopped thinking about her. She was waiting for me, and I knew how much she cared about me being safe and comfortable. The fact that she is so patient and understanding, always putting my needs first, makes me feel incredibly blessed. Every difficulty felt easier just knowing that I had her support.

The next morning, I was getting ready to head to the office. I sent her a quick "Good morning" text, thinking she wouldn't wake up until 10:00 or 10:30 AM. But I was wrong. She was already awake, beating me to the punch hehehe, and that instantly lifted my spirits.

I texted. Her reply came back quickly:

Her words felt incredible; I truly cannot explain the feeling. All the way to the office, those lines kept replaying in my mind. Her thoughts stayed with me the entire day, even while I worked.

I couldn't text her back much due to office hours, but the moment I got home and stepped off my bike, I grabbed my phone and told her that I am back love. She immediately shared that it had been hard for her to go so long without talking to me, and I felt the exact same way. And I made her calm and comfortable and I told her babe it is necessary coz yeahhh and she understood that.

And she asked me to promise her:

And that felt so loving and caring for reallllll.

Our new routine quickly settled in. We started talking for a short time every morning before she headed to the gym and I went to the office. Then, the real conversations began at night, usually lasting until midnight or 12:30 AM—sometimes even past 1:00 AM. We enjoyed making each other feel loved through those late-night calls. That feeling of connection, even when we were far apart, was always so wonderful.

As November began, she started the most marvelous countdown for my birthday. For three nights leading up to November 4th, 2025, she kept track of the clock minute by minute. She would send me texts constantly, saying things like,

Until the clock finally struck midnight. That kind of focus and effort, just to celebrate me, made me feel so incredibly cherished.

When the countdown finally hit zero, her birthday wishes instantly made my day:

I felt so much love flooding in through her words. It was such a beautiful moment, especially because I had never received such heartfelt or wonderful messages on my birthday before. Seeing that effort and genuine affection made me incredibly happy. It was a beautiful memory—one of those moments that I know I will never be able to forget.

After my birthday, I was excited for her special day on November 15th, and I was determined to make it incredible for her. In the nights leading up to it, I couldn't resist building some suspense, giving her little hints about the gifts I planned to send. On November 13th, I bought a lovely perfume for her. Then, on the 14th, we decided I would send everything to her using a courier service.

So on the night of 14th November when I reached home, I wished her at right 12 AM of 15th November...

And she loved it all a lot 💞

The next day, November 15th, I went to the gift shop, and the things I had chosen looked beautiful once they were wrapped. I submitted the gifts for self-pickup, but because I was a little late getting them submitted, she actually picked them up and took them home on the 16th. While all of this was happening, we both prayed, asking Allah to make the process easy and smooth, and Alhamdulillah, everything went well without any problems!

When she finally opened them, she was so happy to see the perfume and the special lighting shield with her name printed on it. She sent me pictures right away, and seeing her gifts for real made me feel like the mission successful hehehe.

And I also sent her an email wishing her birthday:

After the excitement of our birthdays settled down, we kept the spark alive with our morning messages. I started writing beautiful texts for her, making sure she knew exactly how special she was to me. And just like always, her replies were perfect; she would write back such wonderful, loving messages in return. Seeing those words from her truly made my days, filling it with warmth and happiness right from the start.

Here are the lovely morning messages I used to send my babyyyyy:
