Days turned into weeks, and Sidharth's workload consumed him. Amidst the chaos, he found solace in biking and friendship. Similarly, Sathya's medical career and part-time job kept her busy. She cherished moments with friends, movies, books, and Blackpink.

One evening, Sathya's night duty loomed ahead. She decided to unwind at a famous cafe, its outdoor seating offering a serene view of the street. As she sipped her cappuccino, she gazed inside through the glass wall.

Three boys laughed and chatted, catching her attention. One of them seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite place him. Suddenly, their eyes met.

Time froze.

Sathya's heart skipped a beat as recognition dawned. Those piercing eyes belonged to Sidharth, the CEO she'd heard about.

Inside the cafe, Sidharth's mind echoed the same realization. "Sathya?"

Their gazes locked, the world around them melting away.

Sidharth's friends noticed his distraction. "Sidh, everything okay?"

Sidharth nodded, his eyes still fixed on Sathya. "Yeah, just... remembered something."

Sathya's cheeks flushed as she looked away, breaking the spell. Her heart raced with excitement.

Sidharth couldn't shake off the feeling. He excused himself, stepping outside.

"Sathya?" he called out softly.

She turned, their eyes meeting once more.

Their gazes locked again, and Sidharth sat opposite Sathya on the bench.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked, his deep voice gentle.

Sathya shook her head, her heart still racing from their earlier eye contact.

Sathya sipped her cappuccino, lost in thought, when a familiar face caught her eye.

"Hello, Miss. Are you Sathya?" a deep voice asked.

She turned to face the speaker. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, I'm Sathya. How do you know that?"

The stranger smiled. "Do you remember me? I'm Sidharth Menon. We studied in the same high school in Kerala."

Sathya's eyes widened. "Oh, Sidh! Is that you? When I saw you, I thought it was you."

Sidharth chuckled. "What brings you to Canada?"

"I'm working as a doctor at Modern City Hospital," Sathya replied.

Sidharth's eyes sparkled. "You're a doctor! Nice to meet you again, Sathya."

Sathya's curiosity got the better of her. "What about you, Sidh? What are you doing here?"

Sidharth leaned in. "I'm the CEO of PC Exports."

Sathya's eyes lit up. "I've heard of that! The successful CEO Sidharth Menon."

They shared a warm laugh.

Just then, two men approached them.

"Sidh, who is she?" one of them asked.

Sidharth grinned. "Do you remember Sathya, Arun?"

Arun's eyes widened. "Sathya Arunima's best friend!"

Sidharth nodded. "Yes, this is Sathya."

Arun exclaimed, "Oh, Sathya! Is that you?" and extended his hand.

Sathya shook it warmly. "Nice to meet you again, Arun bhai."

Sidharth introduced the other man. "Sathya, this is George, my bodyguard."

Sathya shook George's hand. "I'm Sathya."

George smiled. "Nice to meet you."

Sidharth stood up. "Okay, Sathya, time to leave. Great running into you here. Bye, see you later."

Sathya smiled. "Bye, Sidh."

As they walked away, Sathya couldn't shake off the feeling that her life was about to change.
