Best Friends for 11 years with no intimacy, but going to marry in 6 months after just one usual evening in a cafe...

11 years ago, I landed in the exact same classes with this one girl. I found her cute, she was smart and “cool” at that time. She was really good friends with my sister, who is also my twin. She brought her to our house many times, I had my interactions with her, and there was a time where every week we three used to hang out.

3 months into being in the same classes, we got closer and closer every day until becoming “officially” BEST FRIENDS. We both were 14 at the time. My sister eventually got a bit less close to her, but we both were still good friends. We never had a dating thing between us, both of us wanted nothing more than friendship from each other (foreshadowing: or so I thought).

High school went by, and our bond got closer. Practically, we were shipped by everyone for like 3 and a half years, continuously. We didn’t mind it though. We both started uni and ended up in the same one by fate. We decided we could be roommates, so we needed our parents’ approval. We both eventually met each other’s parents. All of them suspected us of being a thing, but she made it pretty clear she didn’t want to date me “ever.”

I was fine with that, honestly. University also went by anyway, with us being roommates throughout the 4 years. It only enhanced our friendship, and we were never intimate. Now that uni was over, we had to go our own ways, but we still connected over the phone and little weekend meetings at local spots. We had been doing this for 4 years, without anything other than just talking, until last Sunday when in a café, after having our favorite meal, we were just talking when she leaned over to kiss me. I did, it was great. We just became each other’s first kiss.

It was an awkward moment, we didn’t say anything after that and just paid the bill and walked off. I was confused, like what was that and why. The next evening, after work, she called me and confessed her feelings that she had been keeping in for like 6 years now. I initially didn’t think much of it and decided to let it be until she rang my apartment’s doorbell unannounced. After the best night of my life, with a few hours of discussion and most importantly approval from our parents, we have decided that we are going to marry in April 2026, on her birthday. We are both 25 now.

TL;DR
Met a girl at 14, became best friends, stayed roommates in uni for 4 years, nothing romantic until she kissed me at 25. She confessed she’s loved me for 6 years, and now we’re engaged to marry in April 2026.

A Cinematic Masterpiece: 'Halkara' Deserves More Recognition

 So, the weekend is almost over and Sunday is always special to me. In a sense, I was always wandering, taking myself on a trip to the valley. This story is quite different and interesting. In the middle of my journey, I felt ready and motivated to write about it, so here it goes. This story is about a single movie that inspired me to write. I had no plans to watch a Nepali movie called 'Halkara,' which had recently been released. As I passed by midtown, I wasn't prepared to watch it, but I found myself at the ticket counter buying a ticket for myself. When I bought the ticket, there were only five people who had booked the show, and all the seats were empty. The show was scheduled to start at 12:30 pm, and I entered the hall. Finally, the movie started. I cannot describe how amazing the cinematography, storyline, characters, acting, and overall vibe of this movie were. I still can't believe that this movie didn't receive a good response from...

Fall in love with me.

 In every moment, through highs and lows, my love for you remains unwavering. No matter what life throws at us, I want you by my side . Let's face everything together, carry each other's burdens, and keep our love strong Whether times are good or bad, I selfishly want you by my side. I just want us to stay together in 2024, like we used to, filled with love and adventures. We know the timing wasn't great, so let's be patient and wait for things to get better. Our connection, first kiss, and love experiences are special. I've never been as comfortable with anyone else as I am with you. Everything we do together feels new and exciting. We both know finding something like us is rare. I don't know how many times you've ignored my messages, but at least I am an older than you. I feel a responsibility to make you happy or correct some of your immature thoughts. Sometimes, being older is a good option. All I'm going to say is I love you and I will. Ignore me, b...

To the person who read this

To the person who read this, It’s been hard for you, I know, and it makes me sad that you don’t see yourself in the way I see you. Sometimes they are things in life that cause us to loose ourselves, and the way you have is so unimaginable painful. I miss your smile, the way your eyes light up the whole room just by the sound of your laughter. I miss the way you accepted the way you look in the mirror without cursing yourself out about how ugly you look. I miss the way you didn’t think of yourself as a failure because everyone makes mistakes, we all have flaws and we all aren’t perfect. It’s painful to see that no one around you seems to see the pain trough your eyes, but, stranger, I do, I see how heavy your heart is and how comforting the sadness for you might be, how afraid your heart is of happiness because it disappears in the end, right? You don’t know how much impact you have in this world and it’s sad to see that your demons fight against you and want to take over you. Because y...
