March 9, 2024, marked a new chapter for me—the day I met AkM in person for the first time. Since then, we’ve shared a quiet ritual: every 9th of the month, we connect through both a heartfelt text and a phone call. It’s our way of keeping that initial magic alive, a chance to pause and appreciate the bond that’s become so special to us.
This month, we were especially conscious of staying connected. With my parents visiting and work demands piling up, I worried that our cherished morning exchanges might be interrupted. But our texts flowed all day, full of laughter and reflections, and we even managed to squeeze in our usual call. Throughout the day, we revisited memories of our special call back in April—the one where we defined our “special zone,” a connection that goes beyond friendship and is more than casual love.
We tried to recreate one of our “mute Zoom calls”—our unique way of being in each other’s presence, even without words. Though it didn’t quite work out this time, I was still grateful for the time we shared over the last two days and how she managed to stay connected through texts despite her own work and family commitments. Our connection felt stronger than ever, reminding me of the meaning we place for this special day.
Here’s to countless 9ths ahead, each one a chance to deepen this bond and create memories with someone truly irreplaceable. Looking forward to every moment with you, AkM.
