The best is yet to come.

"The best is yet to come"

Remember that day when our professor scolded me in front of the whole class? Seeing me cry, you wrote a motivational quote on a piece of paper and wrapped it with a chocolate, then gave it to me. Your small gesture made me smile that day. When my friends asked me what had happened and how I suddenly became so motivated, I told them about the piece of paper wrapped with chocolate.

However, a few guys who were jealous of you started making fun of you, and you misunderstood, thinking it was me who had started making fun of you by showing that piece of paper to everyone. You snatched the paper from my hand and threw it in the dustbin. I couldn't understand why you were suddenly behaving like this.

You ignored me for three days, and on the fourth day, you called my number and asked me to apologize. I was confused, thinking about what wrong I had done to warrant an apology. When you explained everything, I tried to explain that I never meant to make fun of you; I just showed my friends the reason for my smile. You then thought about how someone as silly as me could still exist in this world. Since that day, something changed between us—we were not just friends; we were more than friends.

Sometimes, misunderstandings can lead to significant moments of clarity and growth in relationships. How a simple act of kindness and a misunderstanding led to something special.

From that day on, our bond deepened. The misunderstanding that had temporarily come between us seemed to only make our relationship stronger. We became inseparable, sharing not just our joys but our fears and insecurities as well.

Our classmates began to notice the shift in our relationship, but we didn't care. We found solace in each other's company, often staying back after classes to talk, laugh, and dream about the future. We supported each other through the ups and downs of college life, from late-night study sessions to navigating the complexities of young adulthood.

One evening, as we sat on the campus lawn watching the sunset, you turned to me and said, "You know, I never thought I'd find someone who understands me as well as you do." I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. "I feel the same way," I replied, taking your hand in mine.

As the months went by, our relationship blossomed. We made countless memories, from our first awkward date to celebrating each other's successes. We learned to communicate better, ensuring that misunderstandings like the one that brought us closer would never happen again.

On our first date you pulled out a small, wrapped package from your pocket and handed it to me. Inside was a chocolate, just like the one you had given me on that fateful day, with a new quote written on a piece of paper: "The best is yet to come."
