Story
The first time I saw Aileen was at our friends Satyaki & Shalini's house - their parents were out of town and we took the opportunity to invite ourselves over. Amidst all the usual pandemonium, there were some bowls of chips and some dips. I tried them all but one dip clearly stood out - a coriander and hung curd dip. Upon asking around I was introduced to the creator of that dip, a certain Aileen. I looked into her eyes, introduced myself and had an instant crush. That crush lasted a little over 10 years and culminated on the fateful day of 11th December 2019 when I gathered up the courage to ask her out and she said yes. Then came the happiest 6 months or so of our lives, till Covid hit. That added another twist in the tale, but we came out stronger together. By the end of it, I was convinced that this woman who I had crushed over for a decade, just had to be by my side for the rest of my days.
