*****

Soumya was standing at the bar, getting some water when Vedika aunty came over to her and tasked her with collecting the flower basket from the hotel lobby.

" Mene pehle bhi kisi ko bheja tha, par patna nahi itna vakt kyu lag raha hai. Tum please check karo gi. " Aunty explained. ( I did send someone earlier but I don't know what's taking so long. Could you go check for me? )

" Ji Aunty. " ( Yes aunty. )

She walked out of the garden and towards the hotel with her phone in her hand as she sent a few pictures to bhabhi she had taken with Ishi earlier. Soumya had just put it back in her clutch when she bumped into someone and lost balance. She grabbed his collar in an attempt to stop herself from falling, her eyes closed shut and his hands went around her waist. She opened them to see rose's falling on them, and a handsome face. A very familiar handsome face!

Soumya immediately recognized him as the same stranger she'd met at the train station. But what was he doing here? For a second all time stopped as they stared at each other falling back into the same trance they'd been in back on the train. They were forced to snap out of it when she heard someone clearing their throat. He immediately set her up right and they looked to find Shivani standing there with a knowing smile on her face.

" Arre Vani tum yaha. " Soumya spoke nervously. ( Oh Shiv, why are you here. )

" Woh main tum dono ko dhund rahe the, Adi aur Ishi dono tum dono ko bula rahe the ring ceremony ke liye. " Shivani said. ( I was looking for both of you, Ishi and Adi are looking for you for the ring ceremony. )

" Tum dono ek dusre ko jante ho? " Soumya asked, confused looking between the two of them. ( You know each other? )

" Ha meri badkismati hai ki meh isi bachpan se janti hu. " Shiv said dramatically. ( Yes my terrible luck that I've known him since birth. )

He smacked the back of her head. " Chup kar chipkali. Badkismat to meh hu jo tume aj tak jel raha hu. " ( Shut up lizard. I'm the one who's unlucky, i've had to deal with you all these years. )

" Owww bhai. " Shiv whined. ( Ouch brother. )

Oh so they were siblings, She could see the resemblance between them. Same eyes and brown hair.

" Waise tum dono ek dusre ko kaise jante ho? " Shiv asked suspiciously. ( How do you two know each other? )

" Arre wo bula rahe hai, mein Adi ki sucide miss nahi karna chahta, badme batata hu. " Rajveer said nonchalantly. ( They are calling us, I don't wanna miss Adi's sucide, i'll tell you later. )

" Tum bhi na, wait kar, jab teri zindagi me koi aayega na, to tu samjhe ga. " Shiv said, rolling her eyes. ( You will never learn. Just wait till someone enters your life, you'll see. )

The man left, rolling his eyes, leaving Soumya and Vani behind.

" Waise Soumya tum to bahut chalak nickli, mere introduce karne ki tho wait kar leti. " She teased her. ( You ended up being very slick Soumya. You didn't even wait for me to introduce you. )

" Shut up. " She blushed scarlett at the thought of Vani setting her up.

How was she supposed to know that the man Vani had mentioned earlier was the same man she'd encountered back in Mumbai. It really was a small world afterall. Two accidental meetings and yet she still didn't know his name. She could ask Vani, but that would seem as if she was interested, which she wasn't. Or at least trying not to be.
