Four lives: When he was with her, he did not even know what love meant and suddenly she is not a part of his life anymore. But he always made sure to vacant that special place in his heart for her. The two finally meet after a decade long separation, but now she doesn't remember him. Did she just forget him or was that never her choice to begin with? *** A girl who never dated anyone because she believed in Love so much that she restricted herself from having any temporary or fake relation... Will she ever be able to find her 'Mr. Right' or had she already found him? *** A girl who deeply had feelings for a guy. However the fears inside her never permitted her to express them out loud. But what if what she felt was just an illusion and what she is starting to feel is the truth? *** A guy who is an epitome of what a 21st century guy should be like; cool, good- looking, an amazing sense of humor and a secured future. But what if his heart holds something more than just those personalities, scars that are taking very long to heal? *** A story that circulates around these four characters, reveals past history and unsaid feelings: confused and bewildered. It was destined for their destiny to collide, the outcome of which is unknown to all. • Remember, the way to one's destiny is tough, especially in case of LOVE.
