His arranged love.

The art of daydreaming

Advika at her flower shop, lost in thought. She can't help but wonder what if Siddharth walks in again? She imagines the scenario, replaying their previous encounter in her mind.

As she works, Advika's mind keeps drifting back to Siddharth. She questions why she's thinking about him so much. Why is she invested in the idea of seeing him again? She tries to brush off the feelings, telling herself it's unlikely he'll return.

Despite her attempts to focus on work, Advika finds herself caught up in a cycle of thoughts. She asks herself, "Advika, why are you feeling this way? Why are you so invested in someone you barely know?" She struggles to make sense of her emotions, unsure why Siddharth has made such an impact on her.

Siddharth sits in his cabin, lost in thought, his mind preoccupied with memories of Advika. His best friend and groom, Reyansh, enters the room, breaking the silence. "Hey, man, where are you lost?" Reyansh asks, noticing Siddharth's distant gaze. Siddharth snaps out of his reverie, trying to brush off his thoughts.

Reyansh presses him for an explanation, "Come on, buddy, what's going on? You can't just zone out like that." Siddharth hesitates, unsure how to share his thoughts. He settles for a vague response, "Nothing, just thinking about something." Reyansh raises an eyebrow, sensing there's more to it, but lets it slide, "Okay, but if you ever want to talk, I'm here."

Siddharth becomes increasingly nervous, torn between confessing his feelings to Reyansh and keeping them hidden. One part of him wants to open up and share everything, but another part fears judgment, worrying that Reyansh might think he has a "dirty mind" for being attracted to his fiancée's cousin, Advika. He frets about being labeled "characterless" and fears their friendship might suffer if Reyansh were to discover his true feelings, leading to a mental tug-of-war that leaves Siddharth uncertain about what to do next.

That night, Siddharth finds himself scrolling through Instagram, checking his following list. As he scrolls, he's surprised to see Advika's profile suggested to him. His heart skips a beat as he notices their profiles are now mutual followers. Curiosity gets the better of him, and he starts stalking her account, exploring her highlights and photos.

As he delves deeper, Siddharth can't help but feel drawn to Advika. He takes screenshots of some of her photos and creates a separate folder in his gallery, almost like a secret treasure trove. With each photo, his fascination grows. He whispers to himself, "One day, you'll be mine, just you wait." His words are laced with a mix of longing and determination, hinting at a deeper desire to make Advika a part of his life.

The next day, the haldi ceremony takes place, and Advika makes a stunning entrance wearing a bright yellow dress. As she enters the hall, she accidentally collides with Siddharth again, causing his phone to slip from his hands. Both of them bend down to pick it up, their faces inches apart. This is the first time Advika has seen Siddharth up close, and she can't help but notice the details - his piercing blue eyes, brown hair, and chiseled features.

As they both reach for the phone, Advika's hand brushes against Siddharth's, sending a spark through her body. She quickly picks up the phone and hands it to Siddharth, apologizing profusely. Siddharth reassures her with a gentle smile, "It's okay, Advika." Advika, still flustered, excuses herself and hurries away, leaving Siddharth gazing after her.

Siddharth can't help but be captivated by Advika's beauty and charm. He watches her walk away, his eyes fixed on her, and loses himself in thought. The brief encounter has left him enchanted, and he can't shake off the feeling that there's something special about Advika.
