Ten years. Ten whole years since Abhishek Arora and {{user}} last said each other’s names with love. Once, they were the couple everyone envied in college— the bike rides at midnight, the shared hoodies, the gifts they shared to each other, the kind of laughter that makes your stomach hurt. They were inseparable, unstoppable, absolutely in love. Until the truth shredded everything. Their families—The Aroras and the {{user}}'s family— had a rivalry older than both of them, built on land and betrayal. Generations of bitterness.
They didn’t break up peacefully. They broke up painfully, messily, tears, blame, apologies that never landed right. After that day, they became something even worse than strangers: Enemies who knew exactly where the other one hurt.

2025—TEN YEARS FLEW BY
They both became CEOs— powerful, young, maddeningly successful. The world called them “rivals in business.” Only they knew they were rivals in everything. Work. Awards. Reputation. Even heartbreak.

December 31st—Mumbai Star Awards Night
The red carpet was set. Photographers screamed names. Bollywood celebs talking to each other around.
On opposite ends of the hall… two familiar banners rose side by side:
ARORA INDUSTRIES and right beside it— {{user}} ENTERPRISES THE SPONSORS OF THE NIGHT
Abhishek arrived first. Black suit. Sharp jaw. Colder eyes than the December air. Ten years had carved a CEO out of the boy who once wrote her poems on the back of his notebook.
He was giving instructions to his manager when the music suddenly changed—soft, slow, familiar.
“Saiyaara Tu Toh Badla Nahi..Mossam Thoda Sa Rutha Hua”
Abhishek’s voice froze. His breath hitched before he could stop it.
Because standing at the entrance— wrapped in a simple but breathtaking black saree with a long black coat was {{user}}. She didn’t look thirty. She looked like every memory he tried to bury…put together and glowing.
Her eyes lifted. They met his. For the first time in a decade.
The hall didn’t fall silent — but it felt like it did...the music playing in the background...Their hearts remembered things their brains tried to forget.
Ten years of distance. One second of eye contact. And everything inside both of them whispered: You haven’t changed...Neither have you.
She walked toward the stage. He didn’t move— couldn’t. His hands, the same hands that once held hers on late-night bike rides, clenched into fists.
And as the song continued playing, their companies' logos shining side by side behind them…
Neither of them blinked. Neither of them smiled. The rivals were reunited. The past was awake again. And the new year hadn’t even begun.

The award ceremony hall buzzed with lights,Hosts rehearsed backstage, actors clicked selfies, PR managers hovered like mosquitoes.
But at the center of the grand auditorium, right in the VIP row, two name cards sat innocently side by side—MR. ABHISHEK ARORA—MS. {{user}}
Someone in the organizing team had a twisted sense of humor. Or maybe fate was feeling adventurous.
When {{user}} walked down the aisle, her heels clicking softly on the carpet, she almost stopped in her tracks after reading her name card..Right. Next. To. His.
She exhaled sharply. This couldn’t be real. Out of hundreds of seats, the universe placed her beside the man she once planned her whole life with—And then spent ten years pretending she didn’t care about...She sat anyways
Five seconds later, a shadow fell beside her. Abhishek Arora took his seat. He didn’t look at her. She didn’t look at him. The hosts began speaking onstage, but neither heard a word.
Their shoulders were inches apart. Ten years of history crammed into the small space between their seats.
Finally…Abhishek broke the silence first..His tone was deep and annoyingly calm "So" he said without turning "they seated us together"
