Sathya send the message to him after listening to Arunima's advice.

"Sathya: Okay, let's catch up."

Sidh replied, "Let's meet at the same café we last saw."

Sathya replied, "Okkey."

Sidh said, "Today, 5:00 pm. Okkey?"

She replied, "Yes."

Hours passed, and the nurse informed Sathya that her duty was over.

She took her bag and phone and drove to the café.

At 5:05 pm, she arrived and saw Sidh waiting alone.

Sathya sat across from him.

Sidh said, "Haii Sathya, are you busy? It was important; that's why I asked to talk."

Sathya replied, "My duty is over, Sidh. What's the topic?"

The waiter came, and Sidh ordered two cappuccinos.

"Do you want something else, Sathya?" Sidh asked.

Sathya declined.

After the waiter left, Sathya reminded Sidh, "Tell me the topic."

Sidh began, "Ohh Sathya, I know you experienced something bad at my home yesterday. Niyasha is a girl with over-passiveness. Please apologize to her."

Sathya said, "It's okay, Sidh. No problem."

Sathya asked, "Where are your parents? I didn't see them there."

Sidh replied, "They are in India, Bangalore."

Sathya said, "Ohhh. But why didn't they come there?"

Sidh said, "Sathya, my parents didn't allow me to marry Niyasha."

Sathya said, "What? What is the problem with Niyasha? She is very pretty, and I guess she's from a wealthy family."

Sidh replied, "Wealthy family... The family is the problem."

Sathya said, "I don't understand, Sidh."

Sidh explained, "Niyasha's mother is my father's ex, when he was studying MBA at Bangalore. And Niyasha's father had a crush on my mother when she studied college at Bangalore."

Sathya exclaimed, "What? Is this true? How do you know that?"

Sidh replied, "One day I said my love to my parents. They visited Niyasha's home for the marriage proposal. That's when we realized... That's why my parents didn't allow me."

Sathya asked, "Is your parents from Karnataka?"

Sidh replied, "No, Sathya, they are Keralites. My mother's family is rich, so they sent my mother to Bangalore for study. And my dad's family also sent him there. After their studies, they came back to Kerala. After years, when our business grew all over India, my parents moved to Bangalore."

Sathya said, "Ohhh. Then Niyasha is from Karnataka."

Sidh nodded.

Their cappuccinos arrived; they drank in silence.

Sidh paid the bill despite Sathya's offer.

As they exited the café, Sidh suggested, "Let's go for a walk."

Sathya agreed.

Strolling through the evening streets, Sidh asked, "Are you single?"

Sathya replied, "No, I haven't met that person who deserves my love."

Sidh's face turned guilty.

"Sathya, I know you loved me truly in high school. Do you know why I rejected you?"
