Our Story

With a hint of Punjabi and a splash of Gujarati, our love story is a little bit out of the ordinary. Never thought our lives would have taken a complete twist that night we met in early 2002. It all started like this…

I was dragged to a nights out by a close colleague for some dinner and drinks. Shamil was a mutual friend of hers and co-incidentally happened to be at where we were hanging out.  Our first meeting was quite funny. When I was introduced to Shamil, my first words to him were “Are you mamak? And he responded “No. Im Gujarati. And I laughed “Oh! You’re Guju Bhai”. While making his way to the loo he said “You bhai, right? Wait, you so gonna get from me.” He laughed and walked away. Well, he did bully me that night. Kept teasing me and challenging the bhai genes in me to bottoms up with him. We got acquainted so quickly, we chatted endlessly and were so comfortable with each other like we had been friends for years.

We were both seeing other people at that time but kept in touch, became close friends and remained platonic buddies for nearly 2 years. I guess fate had its own plan when we both eventually had our hearts broken. We continued with our platonic friendship until one day when cupid struck Shamil with an arrow. I still remember that beautiful night when Shamil Patel looked me in the eye and promised to love me forever and ever. It was in the wee hours on the 13th of June 2004 when he build up courage to speak his feeling to me and how I coldly rejected his love. Why? Because I didn’t want to lose my best friend.

Coming from Penang to KL in 2001 I didn’t really have many friends I could trust and feel safe with. And so I didn’t want to lose my best buddy in the event if things didn’t work out between us  We both had sleepless night, he was eager to hear my decision and I was counting all the reason I felt safe and comfortable with him. After thinking it through and before 13th of Jun ended I decided to give it a shot. I’m glad I said yes to him, because he is the most beautiful thing that had ever happened to me.

We shared a lot together. We would be lying if we said everything had been rosy. No! Hahaha it was a little bit of a roller coaster ride actually. We broke up a couple of times, fought like little kids, picked arguments over patty stuff and hated each others guts. Despite all we were still drawn to each other till today, we don’t know why?

We both now know how to annoy the hell out of each other. We also know how to lift the spirit of the other when one is down and broken. We both know how we rate on the temper-o-meter, very high. We know when a warm cuddle is needed to heal a disappointment. We also know how grumpy, moody and bitchy we can be. We also know that without one another nothing feels right and that we cannot live without each other. Everyday our love grows deeper, stronger and sweeter…
