♡ Her Story ♡

One of the first questions often asked to people who just gotten into a relationship is "Where did you guys meet?" "How did you get together?" and the golden question "So what do like about this girl or this guy?" 

This is her story of them. ☺

After high school she went to college with no thoughts of making new friends, having fun, moreover getting into a relationship. I guess she was wrong. During the first day of college, her friends were talking about this hot guy and this cute guy that was in her class but none of them caught her attention until halfway through the class where she heard a voice from a couple of seats next to her. It was a indian guy speaking mandarin. In her mind she was embarrassed due to her capability of speaking mandarin and she was blown away by his skills. That was the first. On the second day of college there was an ice breaking game during English class and that's where the story begins. Along with a few others, they started hanging out, facebooking and texting. He drove to college on the second week and he offered her a ride to the train station after class but it didn't turn out as planned. They got lost and he ended up sending her back home. Their homes were at 2 different ends of the state yet he willingly gave her a ride home. 

The ride home definitely ignited something in her. She never seen him the same way ever since. Throughout the whole journey, the talked about family. She wasn't the type of girl that would talk about her family but she just felt so comfortable with him, like they knew each other for a long time. It was definitely an unforgettable night to her. The tears and the laughter.

To cut the long story short, he started sending her home often. Because of that, they started spending a lot of time together, talking about life and anything they could talk about. She liked him but she wasn't sure if he liked her back. Maybe the hints he gave her wasn't obvious enough. She wanted to confirm their relationship because she felt like she was causing him to stumble and it was confirmed. He felt the same way about her. Hence, marked a milestone of their lives and the journey begins.

In the past 3 months of their relationship, there were many ups and downs but what kept her going on is remembering the reasons why she loves him. There are countless things she loves about him and it would be impossible to share all of them but the few most outstanding things the she loves about him are:

1. His faith - They often spend time talking about faith and their experiences in serving on the way home.

2. His sensitivity towards others - He has the gift to know when people are feeling down or discouraged and does his bad to build them up and not tear them down.

3. His humility - Even though he's from a quite well to do family, he does not brag about it neither does he look down on others.

4. His family - He has this very close relationship with his family. He honours his parents and he loves his grandmother very much. She loves the way that his family raised him up and nurture his faith.

5. His justification - He stands up for what is right. Even though she is wrong, he will not say that she is right just to please her.

6. His decision - Between him and her, he has a secret that consist of his decision when he was only 13. His maturity in that age is highly honourable. 

7. He is a man of his words - He keeps the promises that he made. He said he would bring her to Broga and he did though the process was hard and painful.

8. His patience - She is an introvert and he is an extrovert. He always wants her to talk more so that he can understand her better but it's hard for her and it takes time and he is patient enough to let her take her time to open up to him.

9. His leadership quality - Though he does not admit it, she sees that leadership role in him. To her, he is a natural leader and she sees a great future in him in leading the family to the right path.

10. His character - This boy has the character that's worth admiring. He's playful. He's funny. He's friendly and talkative. To her, somehow attractive. 

11. His reflection on God's grace and love - Though she often feels that she does not deserve such a wonderful guy, he always reminds her that his love for her is real and it's true. What undeserving grace that God has blessed her with that she would find such a guy as him. His love to her constantly keeps her close to God as she sees God's love through him.

I'm sure there's a million things she wants to say about him but it's their story to share. All I could say is they're really blessed to have each other. I do hope they will journey through life till death do them part. 

A message from her to him: Thank you for being my best friend and being there for me through thick and thin. I do enjoy our little love letters to each other and the times we've spent together. Thank you for holding me in your arms and letting me know that you love me so. Being with you is just the most wonderful thing that has happened in my life. I love you and I always will. ♡
