Can I borrow one quiet minute, Babu? No talking over you this time. Just me, listening. Tap Next.
We were having a serious discussion, and I cut you off before you could finish your thought. I have a habit of interrupting, and I know that is on me to fix. In a moment that needed me to listen, I made it about my words instead of yours.
I'm sorry, Baby. Not a quick sorry to move past it, but the real kind, the one where I actually work on this.
Tell me anything, Baby. How you feel, what I missed. I'm all ears this time.
I know you are having a really difficult day, Baby. Tap whatever you need:
Pop the little hearts before they disappear. Catch twelve and something sweet happens.
Tap each card to flip it.
Archana, my Babu. If I tried to write down everything you are to me, I would run out of paper long before I ran out of reasons. So let me just tell you the truest parts.
You are the most genuine, warm-hearted person I know. You feel everything deeply, you care with your whole heart, and you carry a softness that makes the people around you feel safe. You are playful and curious, a little kid at heart who lights up on every ride, and your laugh is my favorite sound in any room. Even on your hardest days you stay gentle, and that quiet strength of yours amazes me.
And the moments we share only make me adore you more, the long deep conversations, the songs we sing, the quiet walks in nature, that night we watched Venus and Jupiter sitting close in the sky, the afternoon at the zoo, the pani puri I made for you. But honestly, Aaru, my favorite part of all of it is simply you.
What we have is my safest place. It is the jokes only the two of us understand, the comfortable silences, the way a heavy day feels lighter the second I am next to you. You make me want to be steadier, kinder, and more present, not because you ask me to, but because you make it feel worth it.
So here is what I want, Aaru. I want to keep cooking for you, anything you crave, and to take care of you on the easy days and the hard ones. I want to be part of your mischiefs, your partner on every ride, every walk, every little adventure still ahead of us. All the deep talks and the silly ones too.
Especially on a day that has been this hard on you, I need you to know this. You are deeply cherished, endlessly admired, and never for one moment alone in it. You are my person, today and in every quiet, beautiful, ordinary day still to come.
Always yours, Abhishek 💗
