Mithil Mhatre
Back in 2014, in the midst of busy streets and hectic lives, Mithil and I met. We were just friends then, not knowing what lay ahead. Our bond was rooted in friendship, without any romantic feelings.
Then came 2017, a year that changed everything. My world shook when my sister-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. With our parents busy dealing with their own issues, Mithil became my rock.
Throughout the tough journey from diagnosis to her passing, Mithil stood by me, giving comfort and support when I needed it most. His presence, without any demands, gave me hope in dark times.
As time passed, I found myself drawn to Mithil in a new way. His kindness and support made me fall in love.
Mithil, carrying scars from past relationships, was hesitant to love again. But as time healed wounds, he opened up to love once more.
Our love story isn't about big gestures, but about how love helps heal in hard times. Together, we discovered ourselves and healed, strengthening our bond.
In 2023, we got married after five years of ups and downs. Despite our adventures as digital creators exploring India, we still dreamed of traveling abroad.
Luckily, we got a chance through a giveaway. Excited and hopeful, we dreamed of exploring new places together.
Our Instagram handles, gypsycouple and ftbadictions, show our journey—a diary of love, laughter, and resilience.
In life's tapestry of joy and sorrow, Mithil and I found comfort in each other's arms. Our story reminds us that love can guide us through even the darkest times, towards a future full of hope and laughter.
As we stand together, ready for the next chapter, we look forward to finally taking that international trip hand in hand, embracing the unknown with open hearts and determination.
