10 Years Later, I Married My Nemesis
It's a common phrase we've all heard before: "keep your enemies closer." But what if I told you that I took it to a whole new level? Ten years ago, I would have never imagined that I would end up marrying my arch-nemesis.
The Rivalry Begins
I still remember the day we first met. It was a heated debate in our college's student council election, and our rivalry was born. Oku, my then-nemesis, was the opposing candidate, and I was determined to take him down. The competition was fierce, and our banter was legendary. We were like oil and water, complete opposites who couldn't stand each other.
Years of Animosity
Fast forward to our college years, and our rivalry only intensified. We were always at odds, always trying to one-up each other. Whether it was in academics, sports, or even social events, we were always competing. Our friends would often joke that we were like two peas in a pod, always at each other's throats.
The Unexpected Twist
But life has a funny way of turning things around. After college, we went our separate ways, and I thought I'd never see Oku again. However, fate had other plans. We bumped into each other at a mutual friend's wedding, and something strange happened. We exchanged numbers, and before I knew it, we were texting each other like old friends.
From Enemies to Lovers
As we reconnected, I realized that Oku wasn't the same person I thought I knew. He was kind, caring, and genuinely interested in my life. I was taken aback by his sincerity, and before I knew it, I was falling for him. It was as if our rivalry had been a cover for our underlying attraction.
The Unexpected Proposal
One day, Oku took me on a surprise trip to the same college we attended. As we walked through the campus, he stopped at the same debate hall where we first met. He got down on one knee and proposed to me, saying, "You were always my greatest adversary, but now I want you to be my partner." Tears of joy streaming down my face, I said yes.
10 Years Later...
Today, as we celebrate our first anniversary, I look back on our journey with amazement. Who would have thought that my greatest enemy would become my soulmate? Life is full of surprises, and sometimes, it takes a little bit of rivalry to spark a love that lasts a lifetime.
The End
