I Accidentally Swiped Right On Him And It Happened

( words)
*For representational purpose only.

I have lived almost three decades of my life, and being the only child is the best thing that happened to me.

My parents have a traditional upbringing but what sets them apart from the rest of their generation is that they have always believed in me, the decisions I make, the friends I have, the parties I attend, and the male friends I have ever had; they have always been cooperative.

I dated this out of the book, good boy type of guy who was also madly in love with me. After a few years, the love fell apart. I caught him cheating on me and it changed a lot of things. I stopped trusting anybody. I would just go out with random guys for dinner and drinks and life had become more of a drinking game than real life.

I started working in the corporate world, earned well, lived on my own, partied every weekend and cared no more. It was fun to some extent as I lived a fearless life. I had a lot of friends in the city, I met a lot of men whom I would start dating only to end things in a couple of weeks and then move on. The part that was missing in all this was the search for true love. My parents got equally worried as well. Being the only daughter to them, I was spoiling my precious years with a new guy almost every weekend. It wasn't a very charming fact.

The only good part about those days was my solo travel trips. I went everywhere alone. I backpacked across the UK, went on road trips around the western ghats and enjoyed on my own. I met people, learnt from their experiences as well.

Then came the Tinder days. Oh, I met some really interesting people there.

I made a few friends as well but it went on like that for a few years until I realised it was just a temporary way of killing time. Around that time, I almost decided to uninstall the app, but I accidentally right swiped a profile which, if in proper consciousness, I would not have done swiped right on.

I went off to sleep and the next day morning, there was a casual message from this gentleman. Now he was a gentleman, to be honest. He spoke nicely to me and to my surprise, he was someone completely opposite to me, and someone I'd always get attracted towards.

There were days of continuous texts and calls. It was a long distance thing. About two months later, the day came when we decided to meet. We went out for a meal and a movie, something I hadn't done in years, as I was always busy going out for drinks with random handsome hunks. It was one of the best days in years.

There was no doubt how this accidental right swipe guy would be someone I would be craving to spend the rest of my life with. I told him everything about my not-so-sober past, about my adventures, about my encounters and he was nothing but loving to me.

He listens to my stories and bears my tantrums, something only my parents had done till then. He cares about me like my dad does, makes me dinner when I visit him and holds my hand just when I need it the most.

I never thought I deserved something like this in my life, but he is more than perfect to really define the bonding between us. Sometimes it just scares me that I may break his heart but even in some of the most heated arguments, he manages to calm me down.

And I tell myself, we found love in a place I almost thought was hopeless.
