9. talks with cousin sid

Naina leaned back against the plush cushions of Siddharth's living room sofa, cradling her coffee cup in her hands as she exchanged a knowing glance with her cousin. "So, how's everything going with Shubman?" Siddharth inquired, his voice filled with genuine curiosity.

Naina sighed softly, a wistful smile gracing her lips as she thought of her fiancé. "It's... complicated," she admitted, her gaze drifting to the window where the afternoon sunlight filtered through the curtains. "But we're figuring it out, one step at a time."

Siddharth nodded in understanding, his expression sympathetic. "I can only imagine. Arranged marriages can be challenging, especially when there's so much history between two people," he remarked, his tone tinged with empathy.

Naina sighed, her thoughts drifting back to the past and the tumultuous journey that had brought her and Shubman to this moment. "Yeah, tell me about it," she replied, a hint of sadness in her voice. "But despite everything, I truly believe that Shubman and I are meant to be together."

Siddharth placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, offering her a supportive smile. "I have no doubt about that, Naina. You two make a great couple, and I have every faith that you'll overcome whatever challenges come your way," he reassured her, his words infused with genuine warmth.

With Siddharth's encouragement buoying her spirits, Naina took a sip of her coffee, feeling a renewed sense of determination wash over her. Whatever the future held, she knew that she and Shubman would face it together, with love as their guiding light.

Naina's heart fluttered with apprehension as she contemplated the possibility of Shubman remembering their past rivalry. She couldn't bear the thought of him being burdened by the hurt and animosity of their previous encounters. "Siddharth, I... I don't know what to do if he remembers," she confessed, her voice tinged with worry.

Siddharth squeezed her hand reassuringly, his gaze filled with empathy. "Naina, whatever happens, just remember that you're in this together. And if Shubman does remember, you'll face it as a team," he reminded her, his words a comforting balm to her troubled mind.

Naina nodded, grateful for her cousin's unwavering support. "You're right. We'll face it together, no matter what," she affirmed, her determination shining through despite her lingering doubts.

As they sat in companionable silence, the warmth of Siddharth's presence enveloped her, offering her a sense of solace and strength in the face of the uncertainties that lay ahead. And as she looked towards the future, Naina found herself filled with a newfound sense of hope, knowing that with Siddharth by her side, she could weather any storm that came her way.
