HOW WE MET

We Get Questions About How We Met "Find Love On A Train"

Our love story started in the most awkward and funny way but surprisingly we walked out with a beautiful thing. Our story begins in 2018 when I had just relocated to Poland for my studies. In my 3rd month, I had gotten a Job in another city ( 3 hrs away from my usual city) which made me travel to and from my university city. On one blessed (as that's the great day I met my lovely Fiancée) day, despite me so tired, I was traveling back on this train and that's where I met Rafał. I walked into this random train compartment while busy on my phone tired hence struggled to locate my seat number then, then I looked ahead and saw three men drinking themselves off and tossing cheerfully. Tossing to what I don't know, and on the opposite side was one space left to occupy. For a second I thought what in the world am I doing here suddenly I felt the strong need to seat in this place. To save myself from looking hostile, I covered up with a hoody, got my headsets, and didn't leave my eyes off my phone (then I hadn't even noticed Rafał, in my mind, I was like ohhh you drunkards, lesson "don't judge others" learned). One of the guys tried to talk to me (not Rafał, apparently his colleague) and offered me a glass of whisky however, I politely declined with a "No Thank you" without even looking at them all. The two other passengers left me alone with 3 drunk guys (my fiancée inclusive). How I cursed my luck then. Yet the guy was still persistent in offering me a drink which resulted in me gluing myself to the phone. Seeing that I was uncomfortable Rafał apparently spoke to the guy on my behalf to the guy and told him to stop. Yet that wasn’t the end of the story. Not soon after one of Rafał’s colleagues tried to place the whisky glass on the table but a little accident happened and the whole glass ended up spilling on me. He tried to apologize but his English was poor not to mention he was drunk that his talk was no more than gibberish. I got even more furious and this is where I heard someone with clear English in a gentle voice say "I am so sorry Ma’am, please accept my apology and sorry that I have to do the damage control but my colleagues are so drunk that they don’t know even what is going on!” At this moment I looked at the guy talking suddenly with a huge smile thinking “ohh so one could even communicate", the first thing I noticed was his dress code from his shoes, to his watch and finally to his face and head (you know that glance given to someone from head to toe) WOW he’s handsome I thought! Few seconds later I was chatting and laughing with Rafał (best moment ever), he told me so many stories about history, Polish culture and the best story from his side was (which he is still grateful for until today) that they were coming back from a very long business trip, which included a broken car in the middle of nowhere at night, lack of sleep, conducting a successful business and choosing this very train by pure accident! WOW I thought again what a coincidence when God prepares certain journeys, we just got to walk them without questioning. Little did I know that day I met my husband to be on that train. The story goes on and on and the rest is history.
