Suvarna's POV...
I walk outside the house and i pack my bags in the car and then i see a familiar car coming. I then realised that it is my big brother... ok ok i don't have a big brother but he is my eldest cousin brother so technically he is my big brother. He stops his car and jumps off and says:"Happy birthday to you Suvi. May you get everything your heart desires and why are you leaving now Suvarna. It is 4 hours early."
Me:"Thank you Ami Bhaiya(big brother); actually you know Shridhar and i don't get along much and today he said nonsense to ma so she got angry at me then i got irritated and so i decided to leave earlier than expected."
Ami:"What! You tell me now. You could have called me i would spoken to Shridhar. "
Me:"Bhaiya you know you waste your time speaking to him then why even try."
Ami:"I can't believe he did that. That to on your birthday."
Me:"You know that there is no time and place for him anyway."
Ami:"Correct let me help you with your bags."

In the car...

Me:"so bhaiya how is bhabi(brother's wife.)."
Ami:"She is fine she is staying with her mom today as i am dropping you off at the airport.'
Me:"Bhaiya help me with my bags."
Ami:"Yeah sure." After helping me he drove off.

Soon we reached the airport i then said goodbye and went to by a hot chocolate and went straight to the book shop... ok so i am a book worm so what. I found a book that i would love, i paid for it and headed towards the lounge area.
After 2 hours i went to the domestic departure gate and went to the gate where the aeroplane for Cape Town was waiting. i then noticed someone approaching me.
It was some guy. So ignoring him i sat down opposite the departure gate reading my book waiting for the last call for boarding.
"Hi."
Me:"Hi."
"May i sit here."
Me:"Eh sure."
"Thanks."
Then i heard the announcement for my flight:"Final call for flight AH3506(made up.)"
Me:"Excuse me."
I picked up my things and went to the i handed them my documents and i went. I got to my seat and whole row was empty and i had the window seat how wonderful. I sat down buckled my seat belt switched my phone off and then i saw the same guycoming towards me again. Could this day get any worse. Seriously is he stalking me.  Suvarna you are so stupid how can he be stalking you it is just a coincidence.
"Hi again."
Me:"Hi."

After those exchange of words it was the last time we spoke was when i went to pick up my luggage.
I got my bags except for one and it was heavy so i held it tightly and pulled it down. Putting in the trolley was difficult. I felt a pair of hands holding the bag up and i looked at him. Our eyes met for a brief second and my heart started beating like how it happens it the movies. Looking at him made my knees go weak. I broke the eyelock and so did he. I saw him pick the bag up with ease as he performed this action you see his muscles peeking through and then he smiled at me. I smiled back.
Me:"Thanks for lending me a hand."
"No problem. Sooo... how about coffee now."
Me:"uhmm... thanks but i can't make it. Sorry"
"OK then we will have a cup of coffee the next we meet."
Me:"If destiny decides that we must meet again. Then."
With that i left the only thing i heard was
"At least tell me your name."
I smiled and turned and said "find it out if you can.😉 "
I went to my uber and i left for my aunts house.
I was thinking about him the whole drive me:" i hope that i meet him again. He is so cute. So handsome. Omg." I then noticed a sparkling heart shaped gem on my ring finger. The smile he gave me was replaced by Vivaan's face. I realised that i am not single and that i will never be able to experience having a boyfriend or being someones girlfriend.  I realised that i will never be loved. That i am stuck in this loveless relationship and me being that very traditional girl i dropped all hopes of meeting him again.
I reached my aunt's house and she welcomed me and served some dinner for me and i went to sleep. It was the first day of college i got ready and i received a call from my mom.
Mom:"Hi Suvarna i did not mean what i said yesterday and i was upset. Because Meera..."
Me:"Ok mom it is fine i have to go."
Mom:"ok then good bye."
Me:"bye."
I cut the call and i was upset actually disheartened at the fact that my mom could see the hurt on Meera's face but not mine. How wonderful isn't it.
Any way leave it.
I left for college.
During my break i was in the library learning and during that time i was hungry so i bought my food and sat on the stairs and that same dude comes and says...
"See destiny made us meet again."
Me:"Yeah..."
"So Suvarna how about coffee. "
Me:"Sure. Wait how do you know my name."
"I was stalking you..."
I looked horrified at him and he said:"I am joking i heard your name being called out by someone when you were walking out of the lecture. "
Me:"Oh ok. Come let us have coffee because i have a lecture next."
They quickly bought  coffee and sit where Suvarna was sitting originally.
Suvarna:"Sooo... what is your name?"
"My name is Aryan."
They continued a healthy conversation until it was time for their next lecture.
2 months past and they became very good friends they shared everything about each other except for one whichwas Suvarna's marriage. She never brought up it because she wasn't in love with Vivaan and thinking about it made her sad. So she preferred not to talk about it. But she decided to tell him soon.

Back in Durban...
Jyoti:"Ambrish Sanjana masi said that you must come to her house she has something important to talk about."
Ambrish:"Ok ma. Should i inform Shivash and Ishaan?"
Jyoti:"Yes. Thanks Ami."

Jyoti 's POV...
"I don't know how they will react to the news of Suvi's marriage. They treat her like their baby sister."

End of POV.

Vivaan:"Ma i am going to cape town for business today. So i can't come to the pundit with you."
Vaishnavi:"Ok Vivaan. Should i inform Suvarna that you are going there. Maybe you can meet her or something. "
Vivaan:"No ma it is fine she is busy with university."
Vaishnavi:"Ok. What time are you leaving?"
Vivaan:"in an hours time."
Vaishnavi:"Ok. Bye i will see you when you come back. I have to rush because i have to meet Sanjana as we have an appointment witb the pundit."
Vivaan:"Alright bye ma."

Vivaan and his mother hug and his mother leaves.

The pundit kept the date for the wedding on the 18 of June. So everyone was busy preparing for it.

At the Singh's house...
Sanjan:"Ambrish, Shivash and Ishaan. I have something important to tell you all."
Shivash:"Yes masi tell us."
Sanjana:"As you might know there is going to be a big function in june."
Ishaan:"Yes masi we kniw that. But what function is it."
Sanjana:"Ummm.... Suvarnaisgettingmarried."
AmISh(Ambrish, Shivash and Ishaan. ):'WHAT! I don't think i heard right please pepeat."
Sanjana:"Suvarna is getting married."
AmISh:"What! Masi you got to be kidding me. "
Sanjana:"i am not. "
Ambrish:"so this is why Suvarna wasso disturbed on her birthday. "
Ishaan:"Masi how could you allow this."
Shivash :"Why don't you get That Meera married instead of Suvarna.
Sanjana:"She doesn't want to marry now."
Shivash:"But Suvarna is. You know what masi you should be lucky that you have a daughter like Suvarna be cause she sacrificed her belongings her house her family for an outsider. "
Ishaan:"Leave all that now let us start the preparation for the wedding. "
Ambrish:"Yeah. "
The boys leave.

Back to Cape Town
Aryan's POV...
"Since the day i saw her in the airport i felt my heart flatter. Since the day i spoke to her i felt complete. The day i saw her smile it made me want to block all her Saddness. Is this friendship or is it something more?"
Aryan's train of thought was broken when his phone started ringing.
"Hey Aryan how are you?"
Aryan:"I am good dude how are you."
"I am good. I am in Cape Town. Can we meet?"
Aryan:"Yeah sure when?"
"Today if possible."
Aryan:"sorry not today my friend us moving so i am helping."
"Bring your friend along. I am only in cape town for a week so..."
Aryan:"ok we will meet because i know my workaholic cousin."
They both said good bye and hang up their phones.
Suvarna comes and sits with Aryan.
Aryan:"Hey Suvi how is the packing going?"
Suvarna:"All done because i don't have much stuff. Can you help me move the stuff to the flat?"
Aryan:"no problem i will help. My cousin is coming so he asked if we can meet him."
Suvarna:"Sorry Aryan i have and Assignment to finish and i have sort out my apartment. So you go."
Aryan:"Ok."
Suvarna's phone rings.
Suvarna:"Hello."
Vivaan:"Hi Suvarna.  I am in Cape Town and i need to speak to you."
Suvarna:"ok come my apartment tomorrow. I will send you the address. "
Vivaan:"Ok bye."
Suvarna:"Bye."

Suvarna:"Sorry Aryan it was my friend from Durban. "
Aryan:"No problem. "
