My eyes closed as I felt the touch, the strength and roughness of his grip. My mind went back to the day he saved me from beibg hit by the ball in the school ground and grabbed me roughly my the waist. His grip was still as firm and strong as before, almost a demanding way. Before I would imagine more, I decides to look at him with an indifferent confusion. He looked at my eyes with his dark ones. 'Come with me. 'His voice going deeper as he dragged me with him to the empty smoking zone and pushed me in. My heart jumped as he walked closer. 'What.. What are you doing, Sir?' I asked as our bodies almost touched. 'Turn around.' He just said, looking straight into my eyes. I frowned; confused whether to obey the dominant command on my teacher or to react sternly at the audacity of a wedding guest. ^^^^ In the throes of adolescence, there's a moment when school transforms into a crucible of exhilaration, where curiosity ignites around a singular, magnetic figure. For me, that figure was my math teacher, Rishabh Awasthi, a man who, without knowing, claimed every bit of my heart and mind from the instant he strode into our classroom. Handsome yet stern, tender yet commanding, he was someone that twelve-year-old self hadn't known I craved. Like a comet blazing across a starless sky, he illuminated my world, only to vanish abruptly, leaving my dreams in shards and my heart scorched before I could grasp the depth of the wound. Twelve years later, as I stand on the eve of marrying Ashok, fate delivers a jolt that sets my pulse racing once more as Rishabh Awasthi, the specter of my youth, reenters my life as a wedding guest at my wedding, reigniting a storm of nostalgia, longing, and unspoken possibilities that threaten to unravel everything I thought I knew.

"So.. go on a date with me?" I can't stop looking at him. He's just so beautiful. As he always was-just ten years younger. Same brown eyes, same lips, that boyish charm. The only difference is the hint of innocence in his gaze and the curiosity in his expression. No doubt he's surprised by my sudden question. I can't really blame him. His boring, nonchalant classmate of one year has just asked him out after a nice evening together. But I know he'll say yes. He has to. He never said no to me. I can't wait to plan all the amazing, adventurous dates with him, to make him feel special this time-just like he did for me. I'm eager to get to know him all over again. That's when I hear mumbling. "Hmm?" I ask, not hearing him properly. "No. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. I had a great time today, Anu, but I don't see you that way. I'll have to decline." I can hear my heart breaking. Funny, isn't it? All your life, you think: Okay, this will be my last heartbreak. This guy will be the one. He's going to make it all worth it. And then, suddenly, life throws another failed attempt at love into your bucket. If I can manage to get rejected by my husband of three years, then there probably isn't any hope for me. . . Anu had everything-power, success, and a love so deep it felt unshakable. Three years of marital bliss with Ashwin, the man who was her home, her heart, her forever. Their life was perfect, built with love, laughter, and quiet mornings wrapped in each other's warmth. But in the blink of an eye, everything vanished. She woke up not in their home, but in a college dorm. Not as the woman who ruled boardrooms, but as a twenty-year-old student. And then she saw him. Ashwin. But this Ashwin didn't know her. He wasn't her devoted husband. He was a stranger, a boy still finding his way in life. She had been thrust back into his past, into a time where she didn't belong. And the most terrifying question of all- Would he still fall in love with her?
