"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do now. She passed away on the spot." The paramedics said: That day, my life was shattered. I was broken.

I still remember the sound of the rain falling, the lights of the police vehicles, the sound of the ambulances coming in, people's sad and pitiful looks, and the sound of the camera clicking. I still remember it all. It is the only thing I vividly remember from my childhood. I saw her body being taken away by the paramedics from our school.

Tears fell on my cheeks, I returned to reality and quickly wiped them. Now's not the time, Kavya, I told myself. I replayed the video again, and what awaited me was something I could have never imagined.

"I know you must be shocked after hearing from me. I understand, but I can't get married without you being there. Yes, you heard me right. Lily, I'm getting married...

Pranay proposed 8 months ago, and we have been preparing for it ever since. The wedding is in a month. I wanted to tell you this as soon as possible but it wasn't possible since you broke all contact with us. The wedding is in a month.

Nobody even knew you left India until 2 days later when your parents told us. I wanted to be mad at you and I was at first, but then I saw you on TV, I understood the reason why you left without saying a word.

You left because of that incident 12 years ago, didn't you? A lot of time has passed since that incident and you know it isn't your fault Kavya. Stop blaming yourself.

It's not your fault, it has never been." Tears filled my eyes. " I got your email address from your manager, I contacted her and pleaded with her a lot before she finally agreed to give it to me. Please don't be mad at her, I needed to talk to you.

Lily, please come okay? I need you there. Not just me but Vanya and Khushi too. We miss you. I hope you will be there. The details for the stay and everything are in your mail, please come.

I love you and I miss you a lot, Kavya. I hope to see you, Bye.."

I just sat there staring at my mail, it was all there, the plane tickets, the hotel, the style guide and whatnot, and there was also a bridesmaid guide. Naina wants me to be her bridesmaid.

I don't know if I should go, the wedding is taking place in Jaipur for god's sake, I lived there. I have a lot of thinking to do since I haven't visited home for the past 10 years.

I have a lot of thinking to do.

It's going to be a long night.

Author's note:

Hello everyone. So I decided on a few changes like the name of our female lead. I think I prefer Kavya Verma more than Kiara Kapoor.

What do you guys think? Do let me know.
