Meshal Chaudhry

Chantilly, VA

It was love at first DM

Meshal. When people hear her name, they think: reliable, sassy, hilarious, heartfelt and genuine. Did we mention hilarious? Don't think so. Tofaial. When people hear his name: Abrupt, handsome, energetic, spoiled (you can guess who wrote this) and charismatic. LIBRA. The two of them spent most of their lives just ten minutes away from one another. Nobody quite knows how many times they've probably crossed paths. It's giving "How I met Your Mother" : is how Meshal would describe it. On one quiet winter evening, Tofaial decided Meshal had lived a peaceful life, long enough. He was scrolling through Instagram and opened up a story she had posted. He was so mesmerized by the way the sun hit her beautiful face, he was prompted to use a few Shakespearean lines from his arsenal. "Hey sorry to bother you but what brand of sunlight are you using," he asked. She cringed from head to toe but he seemed funny and just cute enough to entertain. "Oh I just tilted my seat back bruh." And from there the two somehow began talking about life experiences, growing up as a brown kid in Northern Virginia and their favorite 90s Bollywood movies. They both happened to be in love with the song Ambharsariya. Meshal eventually grew tired of replying to Instagram DM's but realized for the first time in her life, maybe this boy actually deserves her number. Upon meeting each other, the two realized they had insane chemistry. They're two creative souls with giant hearts. They're both givers and that was an incredible recipe for a close friendship to grow into true love. They make each other complete. Tofaial has no problem acting like a complete idiot and Meshal has no problem pretending she doesn't know him. Every little creative piece Meshal makes, Tofaial cherishes because it gives him a little window to her upbringing and her soul. The two are perfect complements to each other. They give each other the feeling of what it's like to be in an early 2000s rom-com and that's a rare quality nowadays. They bring out each other's inner child and have found the comfort they had been seeking their entire lives in one another.
