You're My Fate – Part 18: The Golden Birthday (2025)

They say a golden birthday is when your age matches the date you were born.

For Rasiya and Sivam, it wasn’t just golden by number—it was golden by fate.
In 2025, the universe aligned... like a secret smile from the stars.

Rasiya turned 24 on the 24th, and Sivam turned 29 on the 29th—just five days apart.

That week, there was something strange in the air.
She could feel it again—that unexplainable warmth in her chest.
Not memories. Not pain. But presence.
As if he was whispering to her without words.

Even after all the distance, she sensed his energy like a wave returning to shore.
She caught herself looking at the moon, thinking,
“Are you feeling this too, Sivam?”

On her golden birthday, Rasiya wore a deep maroon saree, something that reminded her of his favorite color on her. She smiled at the mirror—not out of joy, but recognition.

“Why do I still feel connected, like we share one breath across time?”

Far away, Sivam stood at his terrace, his shirt fluttering in the wind.
holding a photo in his wallet—folded, creased, but cherished.
It was Rasiya, the way he remembered her glowing face in the morning sunshine, the way she kept on irritating him by making fun of him, her laugh, her anger, her childishness, her warmth.

someone who still belongs to him, somehow.

He whispered into the wind,
“Happy golden birthday, Rasiya. I know you felt me.”

No messages. No calls.
But hearts spoke.

He missed her calls. The way she keep on calling him in a day, he looked at the phone display—no notifications

Later that evening, as the clock turned 12 for Sivam’s birthday on the 29th,
Rasiya lit a candle, closed her eyes, and simply said,
“Wherever you are… happy golden birthday, my love. If this is twin flame… I understand now. I don’t need to have you near to feel you.”

And at that very moment,
Sivam was startled by a sudden rush of emotion.
Tears welled in his eyes.

How can absence feel so full?

Two souls.
Two birthdays.
Golden days meant to remind them—

They were never apart.

Just waiting for the right lifetime…
Or maybe just the right moment in this one.

You're My Fate - Part 6

Hi, guys hope everyone is good, hope you remember my previous part was about our trip, let's come back to real time, It was a wonderful evening as I waited for Sivam at the bus depot. He was running a bit late, and when I saw him entering the depot, he didn’t notice me at first. I watched as he combed his hair with his hands, and then I gestured by waving towards him. He spotted me, walked over, grabbed my hands, and said, "Let’s go." in a hurry After walking for a while, I mentioned that I was hungry, and we grabbed dinner before boarding the bus. He led me to a food stall and asked what I’d like to have. I said I’d be fine with chapattis. He got me dinner, and we boarded the bus shortly after. Once the bus departed, I opened the food parcel. Sivam usually doesn’t like eating on the bus, just like many of my friends, but this time, he didn’t seem to mind. I thought of sharing the food with him, so we both had some. After a while, Sivam fell asleep, and I found myself wat...

You're My Fate - Part 3

Ok, thank you for reading my story so far. I have decided to name the characters in this part: the male lead: Siva and the female lead: Rasiya. From the name, you can tell it is an inter-religious love story. Yes,  it is... After that night, Siva dropped me at my PG and said with a smile, "Rasiya, are you free tomorrow? If you are, give me a call. I’d like to take you to my home." I told him I had office work the next day but would think about it and let him know. With a final wave, he headed back home. Early the next morning, I was woken up by a call from Sivam—his full name. I was still half-asleep when I answered the phone. "Hello, Rasiya, it’s me, Sivam. Can I pick you up now?" he asked. I mumbled a sleepy response, shaking my head in groggy agreement. He asked me to get refreshed, saying he would be there in 10 minutes. I hung up and fell back to sleep, knowing that Sivam’s place was over an hour away from mine, thanks to the heavy traffic of the metro city. A ...
