This short-story is about a person who is my everything. It's funny how your life can change over something small. For me, it all started with a stupid joke on a cold winter night.
It was December 21st, 2024. I was just scrolling on my phone and posted a sarcastic story on Instagram. It was a photo of my computer setup with "CORN HUB" typed over it. It was dumb, and I didn't think about it again. I had no idea that post would end up being so important.
I'll never forget the next day, December 22nd. Around 11 in the morning, a notification popped up. A new follow request. I saw her name and accepted. Later on, I put a song on my Instagram Note, and a reply from her appeared.
"Padhai lekahi par dhyan do."
That reply, the line is my favorite till the date and it will be my favorite, forever.
Just those words. A playful bit of advice from a stranger.. and that's how it all started. That's when I met LIL, a name I've only ever used for her.
Before I met her, I was just.. some guy. She's the one who made me feel like I could be better. The whole Headboy thing, and people at school actually knowing and liking me, I don't think any of that would have happened without her. She really helped me become the person I am today.
What we have is special, and I never want to lose it. She's not just another person in my life, she means everything to me. I just want to make sure we both stay healthy and have a long, happy life together.
I know she gets down sometimes, and her health isn't always the best. It drives me crazy that she doesn't always listen to me about taking care of herself. But that's just her, I guess. Kya karein.. baat hi nhi maanti meri!
Watching her smile every day gives me a kind of peace I can't explain. It's knowing that she's doing well. She's the strongest person I know and won't ever show her weaknesses directly. Kya karun, khud ko gangsta samajhti hai!!
She doesn't know this, but I secretly love it when she calls me my Batman, Harsh, or even CHUP!! And the way she threatens to scold me, you'd think she's actually going to eat me alive. I mean, she loves biting, so I'm pretty sure one day she actually will.
I love remembering every little detail she shares with me. I always want to be around her, supporting her like no one else can. I want to cheer and clap so hard for her that she never notices who didn't. Her mom is just like my own mom. I have the same respect for her, and I'll do anything I can to see her happy. I still remember how my heart was pounding when LIL told me her BP was low and she was in the hospital. It felt the same when she told me about her- our grandmother. I just wanted to be near them. I always pray for them to have the best, happiest, and healthiest long lives.
ALSO! I have to mention my favorite person, Khushi Didi! She's the best didi, so amazing and beautiful. I still get nervous talking to her. I guess that's valid, why wouldn't I be nervous talking to the didi of my loved one? She and her Kushagra bhaiya are two of the best people I know, and they look so cute together.
Okay, let me get back to my LIL, or else she'll shoot me a "🙄". I recently gave her a new name, Lensbugs, because SHE LOOKS SO CUTE WEARING LENSES! Chashmish kahin ki!
The only thing I really want is to be her safest place.
I would do anything for her.
