I have been in a relationship for five years. My boyfriend, I don’t know which world he belongs to. I have never seen anyone so devoted to someone in my entire life. It’s not like I’m his first relationship-I’m the fourth-but he is my first. We have never been intimate, and I am not very beautiful, yet he loves me like crazy. Sometimes, I wonder what good deeds I must have done to deserve him.
Let me share some examples. Once, I got my period unexpectedly in the middle of the night. At 1 AM, he was searching the entire city for pads. He finally got them from a hospital. It was difficult to find them because I don’t live in a big city but in Bihar. Another time, I had a minor accident and just texted him about it. I had no idea he would leave his office and come running to me. Later, I found out that his boss had warned him, “If you leave now, don’t come back tomorrow.” Yet, he quit his job and came to me. I found out about this much later, that too through his friend, whereas he had told me that he had resigned.
There’s another incident. We were in the market for some work when I saw an injured dog that had met with an accident. Just looking at its condition made me cry. I didn’t say anything to him, but he somehow understood that I was upset. Without saying a word, he dropped me home and then took the dog to a doctor. Later, he called me on video and showed me the dog, saying, “He’ll be fine. Don’t cry.”
One night, around 1 or 2 AM, we were just talking, and I jokingly said that I was hungry and had nothing to eat. A while later, he was standing outside my house with a bunch of snacks. I have asked him many times why he loves me so much. He only says, “You are worthy of love.” I swear on my mother, I am not making these things up-this is exactly how he is.
Once, I was out of town and got my period unexpectedly at night. I was panicked and crying on the phone. That man searched for every medical store and hospital in that city through Google, called them one by one, and finally managed to get pads and medicine delivered to me. I am literally in tears while writing this.
There are countless incidents where he did things beyond expectations. I had some problems in my life, and he made a vow that if those problems were resolved, he would go to Banaras and do darshan of Baba (Lord Shiva) while lying on the ground as a sign of devotion. And he actually did it.
Honestly, I don’t just see a lover in him-l see both God and a devotee. How can someone love another person this much? I don’t have a job, I am not extremely beautiful, and I have nothing grand to offer him. I just love him-maybe not even as much as he loves me. Also, to mention, he looks better than me-much better.
He says that when he had nothing and everyone abandoned him, I stood by him-emotionally, financially, however I could. Now that he has a job, he spends on me as if he is Ambani, even though I always scold him for wasting money. He listens quietly, apologizes, and then does the same thing again.
I just want to say this to everyone-don’t lose faith in love. Don’t settle for less, because real love still exists. People in love still do things that will make you wonder what you did to deserve them. These days, people look for 50-50 in relationships, but those who truly love expect nothing except your love and loyalty.
