: From 2 Hours to 11 Hours, Then to Forever
Sozyar + Polla
When you both experience a sense of withdrawal at the end of each date, it's clear you can't spend a moment apart from each other. It's too late — you’re already in love. Read on to discover the effervescent details of Sozyar and Polla’s love story.
“We talked about every random topic as if we were two people who had been close for years, not just meeting in person for the first time.”
Q. How did you guys first meet and fall in love?
A. For over four years, we connected on social media, bonding over our shared interests in TV shows and food. Our conversations often revolved around these topics. At the end of 2023, Polla shared his Talabat Unwrapped, and we discovered we had the same top five cuisines and top three restaurants. Realizing how much we had in common, we decided it was time to become better friends and start hanging out together.
I went with the expectation that it might be awkward or that we would only talk about food and TV shows, as we usually did. However, when Polla arrived and greeted me with a very cute smile, the conversation flowed effortlessly. We talked about every random topic as if we were two people who had been close for years, not just meeting in person for the first time.
We went to a coffee shop after dinner, then took a walk, and finally went for a drive. What was supposed to be a two-hour dinner turned into eleven and a half hours filled with jokes, laughter, and heartfelt conversations. We shared intimate details about our lives, and with each passing hour, our connection deepened. It felt like we shared the same mind. By the end of the day, neither of us wanted it to end. The bond we felt was extraordinary, and as I drove away, I knew immediately that Polla wasn't just going to remain a “friend.”
We spent our days together, mostly going on walks and sharing endless conversations. From the very beginning, our undeniable chemistry made it feel as if we were destined for one another. It didn’t take long for us to realize this, and in less than a month, we had fallen deeply in love.
“I knew this was it and she was the one.”
Q. How did you know you wanted to marry each other & who wanted to tie the knot first?
A. We knew we had to spend every moment of our lives together because no date ever felt long enough. When our time together would inevitably come to an end, we both experienced a sense of withdrawal, consumed by thoughts of our next date. It became clear that we couldn't spend a moment of life without each other.
Polla: I wanted to tie the knot first. I knew this was it and she was the one.
“[...] exactly what I was looking for.”
Q. Why did you choose HIDDENSPACE, how did you hear about us, and what made you decide on your specific ring?
A. [Sozyar] I wanted a ring that was unique and different from the usual. While searching online, I came across the Jayden Ring with a salt and pepper diamond. It had just been posted on the HIDDENSPACE Instagram page, and I instantly loved it. The ring's distinctive design and the unusual beauty of the salt and pepper diamond were exactly what I was looking for.
Q. Tell us about your favorite memory together.
A. It was new year’s after midnight, a cold night, just as we loved. We were walking and talking like every other day. After an hour or two, Sozyar was talking to me about something and I was just listening. Actually, I was not. All I was thinking about was kissing her, she looked so beautiful, and I knew I wanted her for life. We were friends at that time and it was obvious we liked each other. But to kiss her? I did not know what her reaction would be! She was showing me a video and I was just waiting for that topic to end. I kissed her! I finally did! And she kissed me back! That was the best moment of our lives.
“Love should never feel like a chore.”
Q. Anything else you’d like to share with the world?
A. It's a match when you don't have to try to be something you're not. It's a match when everything feels effortless, and you find joy in doing things for each other, not just because they love it, but because you do too. Love should never feel like a chore.
And for every partner, communication is key to maintaining love and understanding. Without it, even the greatest love can falter.
