Suren

This is the first time I've written about him - with a name that is... Surendra.

I met Suren at that time of my life when I didn't believe in forever... and happy endings. Back then, relationships are just as good as a full meal - you'd get full but eating the same thing over and over makes you puke and hate it. That was how it was with my previous relationships... "it was good while it lasted". The last one being, (not that I count it) left a bitter taste in my mouth. Such a freaking waste of time.

I was out of job, unpaid of my five month's worth of salary, penniless, in debt, frustrated and pretty much an angry person - when I met a wonderful person who has changed my life forever. He was the patient ear behind every rant, every whine, every bit of frustration to the job interviews that never paid, and the job offers that never came (at that time). He was indeed a beautiful person with a heart of gold and bit by bit, as time went by, I found myself confiding in him every bit of how I truly feel - sans the "positive scripting".

He was witness to the worst in me - my temper, my sudden mood changes and every sheer of impatience I have left in my body. And yet despite my weaknesses, my ugly and morbid side, he has grown to love EVERYTHING about me - from a distance.

Until the night of June 8, 2010 came and he told me about his intentions. It did not come as a shock, but rather a sense of relief that yes, despite my imperfections, someone would take that risk (his first at that) to make me feel like a queen and love me for who I truly am.

It's been more than a year, and a roller coaster ride as well but it just feels like yesterday when finally I found solace in someone whose generosity and pureness of heart I could never imagine.

Finally, it feels good to find HOME.
