THE DAY I MOVED IN WITH PALLABI

Dear Palak,

So, today was the big move with Pallabi into her current place. It’s a 3BHK, way too spacious for just us two, and yeah, the rent’s on the higher side because of that. We’re thinking of downsizing to a 1BHK soon. She’s taking the bedroom, and I’ll set up in the hall. I’ll start looking for a new place from tomorrow.

Honestly, I’m kinda nervous. What if I mess something up and she wants me out? To me, moving in together feels like we’re testing the waters for something more serious in the future, and I really don’t want to ruin any chance of that happening.

And then, there’s this part of me that’s still hung up on you, which of course, Pallabi doesn’t know about. I’m torn, you know? I don’t want to stop loving you, but I also don’t want to lose Pallabi. Feels like I’ll be wrestling with this for a long time.

Life would’ve been so much simpler if you were still in it.

With love, hugs and other things,
P
