WHEN FATE TOOK THE WHEEL

"You Thought I Was Who?"

Years had passed since Naina and Arjun's unforgettable rickshaw ride, but that first meeting still sparked laughter whenever they reminisced about it. Tonight, they found themselves cozied up on the couch, the city lights casting a warm glow through the window.

Naina had just finished scrolling through her phone when a thought bubbled up, and she couldn't help but giggle. Arjun turned to her, curiosity piqued.

"What's so funny?" he asked, a teasing smile on his lips.

Naina leaned closer, her eyes sparkling. "Okay, I have to confess something. When I first saw you, I genuinely thought you were Aditya Roy Kapoor."

Arjun blinked, caught off guard. "Wait, what?"

"Yes!" Naina laughed, almost doubling over. "I mean, there you were, sitting in your rickshaw, looking all broody and charming, and I was like, 'Is this a scene from a film? Am I dreaming?' I briefly considered asking for an autograph!"

Arjun burst out laughing, the sound echoing through the room. "So, you thought I was a Bollywood star driving a rickshaw? What kind of movie plot is that? 'Aditya Roy Kapoor: The Rickshaw Chronicles'?"

Naina nodded, trying to keep a straight face. "Exactly! And then you started talking about your beard oil, and I realized that even Aditya wouldn't discuss his grooming routine with a random passenger. That's when I knew I was in a different kind of film."

"Wait, so my beard oil is what snapped you back to reality?" he asked, shaking his head in disbelief. "You must have thought, 'This isn't the glamorous life I signed up for!'"

Naina chuckled, pretending to ponder. "Honestly, I did think maybe I'd stumbled into an alternate universe where Aditya was just another Mumbai guy trying to make ends meet."

"Should I start calling myself 'Mr. Kapoor' then?" Arjun joked, leaning back with mock seriousness. "Or should I go with 'Mr. Rickshaw Kapoor' for authenticity?"

Naina burst out laughing again. "Oh, definitely 'Mr. Rickshaw Kapoor'! And I could be 'Mrs. Kapoor'-the rickshaw queen!"

Arjun leaned in, his eyes dancing with mischief. "And our tagline could be: 'Love in the Time of Traffic Jams!'"

"Or better yet," Naina added, grinning, "'Mr. and Mrs. Kapoor: The Unlikely Love Story!' Complete with dramatic plot twists, like forgetting to pay the rickshaw fare!"

Arjun threw his head back, laughter filling the room. "I can see the trailer now: 'In a world where rickshaw rides lead to unexpected romance...'"

Naina clapped her hands, unable to contain her giggles. "And with an epic climax: 'Will she choose love, or will she find a cab?'"

Arjun leaned closer, pretending to whisper conspiratorially. "And the sequel? 'Aditya Roy Kapoor Gets a Job as a Rickshaw Driver!'"

"Coming soon to a theater near you!" Naina exclaimed, wiping a tear of laughter from her eye. "Starring us as the stars of our own romantic comedy!"

As the laughter faded, Naina looked into Arjun's eyes, the warmth between them settling into something softer. "But really, I wouldn't trade this for anything. Not even a chance to meet the real Aditya Roy Kapoor."

"Good," Arjun said, his voice low and sincere as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Because I'm way better at being your Arjun than any Bollywood star could ever be."

Naina smiled, her heart fluttering as he leaned in. "You're right. Besides, who needs red carpets when I have this?" She gestured around their cozy living room, filled with memories and laughter.

Arjun grinned, capturing her gaze. "Exactly. And who needs glitz and glam when we have our own rickshaw adventures?"

He pulled her close, their lips meeting in a kiss that was sweet and tender, sealing the laughter they had shared. Naina melted into him, savoring the warmth that filled her heart.

When they finally pulled away, Arjun raised an eyebrow, still smiling. "So, should I start preparing for our debut as Mr. and Mrs. Kapoor?"

Naina laughed, leaning her forehead against his. "Only if you promise to wear your beard oil for the occasion!"

"Deal!" he replied, chuckling. "And maybe we'll even get a cameo from the real Aditya Roy Kapoor. He can play the guy who thought he was stealing my girl!"

"Now that would be a plot twist!" Naina said, grinning. "But honestly, I'm just glad I picked you, rickshaw driver and all."

"Your choice in men is impeccable," Arjun teased, wrapping his arms around her. "Especially when the alternative is a movie star with questionable grooming habits!"

As they settled into comfortable silence, Naina knew one thing for sure: no matter how unexpected their love story had been, it was perfectly tailored for them. And she wouldn't have it any other way.
