Chapter One

Across Oceans

New Zealand 🇳🇿 to Nepal 🇳🇵

June 2025

We started talking around your last birthday, but our universe aligned on June 5th. Despite the massive distance, thousands of miles felt like nothing. On June 27th (my birthday), you blew me away by sending a cake, flowers, and gifts all the way to Nepal. And then came June 30th at 9:13 PM—the exact moment you proposed over a message and changed my life forever.

Chapter Two

Kathmandu Airport & Beyond

September – October 2025

On September 29th, the distance vanished. I stood waiting at Kathmandu Airport as you arrived. We attended a friend's wedding where we were the only side-participants, went to an amazing concert, and shared unforgettable times. Saying goodbye at Pokhara Airport on October 21st was incredibly hard as you flew back on October 23rd. The weeks that followed brought heavy waves of long-distance—ups and downs, rough days, and overwhelming nights, but our love held fast.

No More Goodbyes

January 2026 – Present

On January 21, 2026, at 9:30 AM, you gave me the best news: you were coming back. By January 22 at 11:00 PM, I was holding you again at Kathmandu Airport. Since that day, you've been working from home here in Nepal. We've explored so much together, including that incredible, unforgettable long drive to the western part of Nepal.

Today is June 4th, your birthday. I get to celebrate it right next to you this time. You return to New Zealand on June 15th, but this journey has proven that no amount of distance can break what we are building.

From friendship to love, and soon, hopefully, into marriage. Happy Birthday to my favorite person, my partner, and my future.

With all my love, Summit
