Adnan was with Vishal and he informs Advika and Rushi that they were meeting at the cafe. When he leaves Vishal was sleeping but soon he gets a call from Arshi.

" Hello!", She wishes cheerfully.

"Uhmm hi!", Vishal's voice is laced with sleep as he picks up the call rubbing his eyes with the other hand and turns over as he was sleeping on his front.

"Oh! You were still sleeping?!", She asks doubtfully.

"Oh yes! Umm why did you call?", Vishal asked trying to sound awake and failing miserably.

"Actually I wanted to meet you, anyways now that I woke you up I am certain you didn't have your breakfast and surely you might be hungry so shall we meet for lunch....? Please?", She requests.

"Uhmm...okay fine", he says as he remembers Adnan and Rushi won't be there with him for lunch anyways.

"Great I'll text you the location be on time I have a lot onnmy schedule", she warns him

"Yes done.", Vishal chuckles at her strict order.

I see Arshi's car in the parking of the cafe and park beside her. She was waiting inside the car itself and waves at her to grab her attention. As we walk out of the parking I ask her what was it that she wanted to meet suddenly.

"What's the rush, I'll obviously tell you, by the way you look cute today!"

"Don't I always look cute?", I question her back smiling.

"Come now!", Arshi tugs at my arm playfully.

While walking out of the parking lot I notice a black accord and for a moment I felt it was Adnan's but I didn't get to see the number plate and probably I would be overthinking this so I just walk behind her pushing away the thoughts.

We enter the restaurant and a sit at a table on one sife of the cafe. I sat across Arshi and we placed our orders.

"Okay until we are served will you tell why did you want to meet me?", I ask Arshi and she takes out an envelope with an beautiful design embedded in the royal red and golden colours.
"My brother's wedding invitation", she says as I look at the beautifully designed card.

"Wow!", I tell her.

"I personally wanted to invite you  and also I was already out here I thought why not do it now!", She said happily

"This is beautiful", I tell her about the card.

"I designed it", she enlightens me!

" How much is Bhavin elder to you?", I ask her out of curiosity.

"5 years"

"Oh so you are what around 25-26? Just asking okay no offence", I tell her.

"No no it's okay...yeah I am 25.", I just give her a smile and decide to ask her the thing that was on my mind, "What were you saying about Advika being your almost bhabhi something?"

"So it's like before Advika went to London our parents wanted them to get hitched. Advika was just 22 I guess and we are family friends like Advika and bhai knew each other since they were 5-6 year olds something. But they were always just friends not even like bestfriends or something. So maybe they didn't want to get married, Advika to be specific,  it's just that", I let every word of Arshi sink into me and somewhere I feel bad for her but also happy that she isn't getting married to Bhavin, I cannoy understand my own thoughts these days! What the hell is wrong with me!
