01
The first sight
One ordinary bus ride. One not-so-ordinary feeling.
01 · WHERE IT STARTED
Somehow, it all started
on a bus.
Before there was an “us”, there was one bus ride, one coding question, and a girl who had every reason to be careful with a tech person she had just met. I gave you space, patience, and love until trust had room to grow.
02
The first conversation
A coding question somehow became the beginning of everything. On 16 September, I finally confessed what I felt.
03
“It's you.”
You were wary, I was nervous, and trust took time. Then, on 24 September, you gave me your first picture. Little by little, there was an us.
02 · US
We are ridiculously
different.
YouVegetarian 🥗Me: non-veg 🍗
You“Romance? No thanks.” 😐Me: professional romantic ❤️
YouBossy wifey 😤Me: voluntarily employed 😂
YouIndependent & stubbornMe: somehow still obsessed
Different in so many ways.
Still somehow perfect together.
03 · THE WOMAN I ADMIRE
Every version of
you is my favourite.
The quiet you, the laughing you, the stubborn you, the beautiful you. I love the whole person, not just the parts that are easy to photograph.
04 · THE PEOPLE YOU GAVE ME TOO
I fell in love with
your whole family.
Loving you also means caring about the people who shaped you, stood beside you, and made you who you are. Your family is part of the home my heart keeps choosing.
I am not only choosing you, Payal.
I am choosing the people and the love that made you.
05 · THE LUDO INCIDENT 🎲
🎲
I lost a Ludo game once.
And apparently, losing that game gave me something I never want to lose.
06 · THE SILENCE CHALLENGE
We said nothing.
And still said everything.
.jpg)
Ek challenge tha: hum dono ek doosre se baat nahi karenge, sirf WhatsApp par apne messages save karenge.
Par tumse baat na karna bhi tumhare baare mein hi tha. Har saved message mein tum thi, har khamoshi mein tum thi, aur har baar dil ne tumhe hi choose kiya.
Hum chup reh sakte hain, ek doosre se door nahi.07 · THINGS I DON'T ALWAYS SAY PROPERLY
So I recorded
this instead.
No fancy words. Just me, talking to you about the person who taught my overthinking heart how to wait, listen, and love better.

08 · OUR KIND OF CHAOS
Little clips, big
memories.
Somewhere between the bus rides, the teasing, and the impossible-to-explain jokes, we became us.
This memory could not be loaded.
That bus-ride smile
Payal being Payal, and me being completely gone for her.
This memory could not be loaded.
Close enough to tease
One of those tiny moments that feels like our entire relationship.
This memory could not be loaded.
Her face, my favourite view
A soft little bus memory I want to keep forever.
This memory could not be loaded.
Just us being us
Not polished. Not perfect. Completely ours.
This memory could not be loaded.
The little look
The kind of ordinary moment I never want to lose.
09 · THE WAY YOU LOVE ME
You made these
for me.
This birthday message could not be loaded.
My birthday message
You made this for my birthday, and I still carry the feeling of being loved by you.
This message could not be loaded.
When I was angry
Even when I overthink and get difficult, you still find your way back to me. I promise I will keep finding my way back too.
10 · A FEW WORDS FOR YOU
🌹
Kabhi socha nahi tha koi itna khaas ho jayega,
Ek anjaan sa chehra meri poori duniya ban jayega.
Pehli nazar mein jo ajeeb sa ehsaas hua tha,
Pata nahi tha wahi ehsaas ek din mera pyaar ban jayega.
Tumse mila toh laga jaise koi apna mil gaya,
Tumse baat hui toh laga jaise dil ko koi raasta mil gaya.
Hum dono mein na jaane kitne farq hain,
Phir bhi dil ke beech na jaane kitne gehre rabt hain.
Tum ziddi ho, main pagal sa deewana hoon,
Tum thodi si icy rose, main tumhara purana parwana hoon.
Tumhe romance pasand nahi, mujhe ishq jatana hai,
Tumhe bas haath pakadna hai, mujhe poori zindagi saath nibhana hai.
Tum apni duniya mein khush rehna chahti ho,
Aur main bas us duniya ka ek hissa banna chahta hoon.
Na tum meri aadat ho, na tum koi zaroorat ho,
Tum woh ho jiske bina bhi saans chale,
Par jiske saath zindagi khoobsurat lage.
Mohabbat hazaar logon se nahi hoti,
Mohabbat toh bas ek dil se hoti hai,
Aur mera woh ek dil...
Bahut pehle hi tumhara ho chuka hai. ❤️
11 · DIL KI BAATEIN
❤️
Payal, tum
meri duniya ho.
Jab bhi main tumhe dekhta hoon na, pata nahi kyun meri duniya ka har rang thoda aur khoobsurat lagne lagta hai. Main tumse isliye pyaar nahi karta kyunki tum mere liye kuch karti hoon. Main tumse pyaar karta hoon kyunki tum Payal ho.
Tumhari khushi, tumhare sapne, tumhari apni duniya, tumhari pagal si aadatein, tumhari zidd, tumhara gussa aur tumhari honesty, sab kuch mujhe tumse aur zyada jodta hai.
Haan, hum ladte hain. Kabhi kabhi main gusse mein aisi baatein bol deta hoon jinka baad mein mujhe regret hota hai. Lekin jitna bhi gussa ho jaun, mere dimaag mein sabse pehle tum hi aati ho. Dil ke kisi kone se awaaz aati hai: chhodo na, meri pagli hai, meri wife hai.
Main perfect nahi hoon, tum bhi perfect nahi ho, aur shayad isi wajah se hum itne real hain. Mujhe bas itna chahiye ki hum ek doosre ko samajhne ki koshish kabhi band na karein. Main tumhe apne pairon par khada dekhna chahta hoon, tumhe apne parents ke liye woh sab karte dekhna chahta hoon jo tum karna chahti ho.
Ek din tumhe apni wife banke mere saath dekhna mera chhota sa sapna hai. Main tumse tumhare liye pyaar karta hoon, aur shayad isi baat mein mere poore pyaar ka matlab chhupa hai. 🌹
Tumhari khushi ke liye hamesha,
Adarsh
Adarsh
12 · THE GIRL BEHIND MY LOVE
Before you're my wife,
you're Payal.
I want to see you stand on your own feet.
I want to see you achieve the things you've imagined for yourself.
I want to see you make your parents proud.
And whenever life gets difficult, I hope you never forget how strong you actually are.
13 · LITTLE PIECES OF US
Some memories
I never want to lose.
14 · EVERY MEMORY, KEPT
The whole gallery.
Nothing left behind.
These are the memories waiting for their stories. Today they are here with love; their captions will become ours as we remember them together.
🌹
One last thing...
Happy Birthday,
my Kutchu Puchu.
— Adarsh, your pagal husband ❤️
