Fall Again

A FUTURE LOVE STORY

I believe in love. I believe in finding the right person but it never felt like my story until I met her and by her, I mean Gift.

My name is David and I am Midun’s friend. I am here to tell you about Gift, my darling wife.

I decided to stop dating around May 2026 when love started feeling like something you could buy from the market and the value became worthless.

Still, I knew love was real because I had seen it countless times. My mum and dad are the perfect example of love. The way they love each other made me want that kind of love too.

The girls I truly wanted never took me seriously. They wanted men who were already romantic and rich and I was not that person then.

I met Gift during one of the worst periods of my life and somehow, she became the only good thing in it.

We became friends and grew really close. Around her, I could be myself. I did not have to pretend to be another person just to be loved.

She knew me. She believed in me. She trusted me. She believed I could achieve every dream I spoke about and I loved her deeply for that.

I met Gift at a time when I had already decided that love was probably not meant for me.

I cannot even explain when friendship slowly became love. One day, I just knew I wanted that young woman to be mine. I wanted her wrapped safely in my arms for the rest of my life.

So in August 2028, I proposed to her and she said yes. I knew then that she was the one. Not because she was perfect but because she felt like peace.

I have been hurt before and I will never pretend that pain did not change me. There were nights I silently hoped love would find me if it was truly meant for me and somehow, it did. Through Gift.

Gift was truly a gift to me. She became my person, my peace and my home. She was my last option and my right option.

This is 2030 and we have been married for two years now. Every day with her feels like falling in love all over again and I am glad I did because she is worth it.
