How i found my twin soul

I had just started working when one day i came home and mom told me about one of our family friends who would be moving into our house on the floor above mine. I was mostly indifferent to this new development.
She moved in and we got introduced. We were both working so we dint exactly have the time to 'hang out'.I don't think we talked much initially.

I don't remember how that happened, but at some point i developed alot of affection and admiration for her. She was all that i was, and much much more. She munched on books, had the strongest, most independent mind i have seen in a woman. I have seen her shoot people down with her words and trust me, there wasn't a comeback in the world that could save them.

But here's how we realized the twin soul part :

Once upon a time at dinner, we were discussing men. And she was telling me how there was this one man she had met on the train who made sense to her. Who she could actually talk to and was instantly attracted to in a certain way. They went out for coffee later. I was all ears.
Then she told me how this man was from X city and studied at Y school.... i started to get a little uncomfortable at this point... i let her go on.... getting more and more uncomfortable. After 5 minutes, i told her, was his name A?  She froze and mumbled a yes. She was talking about my very recently ex'ed boyfriend all this while, the only man who made sense to me. (at that time ofcourse)

We knew we had a bond but this was freaky. I wouldn't obviously think she is my twin soul based on my bonding with her and this 'small' incident. But things dint stop there.

One day i went to a book store, and bought a beautiful diary for myself. It was this hard bound thing with a beautiful print on the cover. She came back from work that day and reached for something in her purse that she wanted me to see. And there came out the EXACT same diary i had bought earlier in the day :)

Another thing i remember vividly is when She (thats what i'm going to call her) , S and i went to the book fair. Given our love for books, all of us were super thrilled to be there. Only She and S are 3 years my senior, both extremely smart, both very talented with words and sarcasm, both with a temporary desire to bully me through the day... which they did on the way to the book fair. Finally, we got to one of the stalls and they were calm. All three of us were in different directions. I ran to S with this book called 'Don't read this if you are stupid' and told him, "This might have our kind of humor". In next 20 seconds, She ran to us with the same book and said, "This might have our kind of humor". S ofcourse was laughing considering he knew about the "bond".

We are now conditioned to accept these little incidents and not find them creepy. Coupled with all these little things is our undying love and admiration, close to worship, for Garfield. Garf happens to be a constant inspiration to us with his sarcasm, complete insensitivity,self obsession and insatiable appetite.

To her : *Mush Alert* Thanks for being a part of my life. Thanks for having the nerve to tell me the 'right thing' knowing that it will break my heart a million times. You are an incredible woman.
