Sometimes, life has a strange way of introducing the right person at the most unexpected time. And the same had happened with me and Pranay. If someone had told me a few weeks ago that I would accidentally mistake my future partner for a suicidal stranger, I would have laughed in their face.

Yet here I was. Waking up before sunrise just to spend a little time with him. Honestly, when I had first met Pranay, I thought he was handsome. Very handsome. Attractive. Successful. The kind of man most girls would notice the moment he walked into a room. But somewhere between our conversations, morning walks, endless cups of tea and coffee, and all those random discussions, I had discovered something much more important. He was mature. Understanding. Patient. And surprisingly easy to talk to.
