Before Saanvi could ask more about Nawaz, her phone rang. It was her father, Shiv, asking her to come home immediately.

Fearing something bad, Saanvi rushed home only to find Shiv opening the door while smiling like a Cheshire cat.

He whispered, "Come and see who is here."

Saanvi walked in to find a familiar looking face smiling at her.

"Vijay??" She exclaimed.

"So, you still remember me after all these years?" He said appreciatively

"So, you still remember me after all these years?" He said appreciatively.

Meanwhile her father gestured to Nidhi to come with him to the kitchen.

While Saanvi was having a pleasant conversation with Vijay, Shiv was building castles in the air making Nidhi prepare coffee in the kitchen.

"He has come here for few days from Malaysia. It seems his parents want to get him married. So, he's been checking out girls. Imagine if he likes Saanvi, your sister would be flying to Malaysia." He kept a hand over his heart while giving a happy sigh.

Ignoring Nidhi's look of disgust, he continued "It's like Destiny wants them together. See... even their names match. Where Saanvi ends, Vijay starts."

Nidhi looked at him puzzled "Dad, Saanvi ends in I, not V."

"Arre, I meant in our local language, not English."

Nidhi muttered to herself "That way, where Saanvi ends, Vikram also starts. If destiny got those 2 married, then World War 3 will start in India this time" 

Meanwhile Saanvi unobvious to the whole match making plans, was excitedly explaining about her new job to Vijay. He just sat admiring her.

Finally, he interrupted her "Do you remember us playing Husband Wife as Kids?"

She laughed "Yeah I remember bossing over you. Fun times."

"If only we could relive those days... "

Saanvi quipped "Aren't you too old for games?"

Vijay leaned forward as he looked directly into her eyes "It was never a game for me."

He grinned broadly as he saw her blush once she understood what he was implying. Nidhi walked in with coffee, just in time to avoid any awkwardness.

After Vijay left, Nidhi began teasing Saanvi "So are you planning to go to Malaysia?"

Saanvi frowned "He is just a friend. I don't have any romantic feelings for him. Moreover, I will not get married and leave Dad alone in his old age, after all that he has gone through. I am not interested in any guy, End of topic"

Little did she know that Destiny was indeed making some plans for her. And it did involve Love and War.

Few days later, early morning Saanvi received a call from a frantic Vasudha.
