A meal at her place
It was late when we reached. She cooked — unhurried, generous, the kind of meal you remember for the care more than the menu.

The next evening
Dinner, and the calls
The next day we went out for a quiet dinner. After that the phone rarely went quiet — long talks that wandered from ordinary days to medicine, surgery, and everything in between.

I drove. Vibha sat behind with her phone, calling every turn through the rain. We were never quite lost — only slightly late, and very wet.

A departing train
Running for the train
Bags, platform, the last few minutes before Vibha's train. We ran — and we made it, barely. That sprint still sits somewhere between panic and joy.

The proposal

The wedding
Haldi in the morning, sangeet and lunch in the afternoon, jaimala at night, and pheras at midnight. Surrounded by everyone we love, we begin our forever.
