After Samaira posted the invitation message on our school whatsapp group. Many of them messaged her saying they can't make it on such a short notice.
I was keeping a close track on every message. I even asked her if the message was delivered to Ruhi.
Samaira: Nikhil, I think she must have changed her number. Because message is not getting delivered. I am sorry bro.
Nikhil was disheartened.
Nikhil: Its okay, don't worry. We did our best. If its written in my destiny, then we will meet. I am not going to loose any hope.
Ruhani: Yes. I think we should celebrate this news of Samaira's engagement. What say?
Vihaan: Yes, we should. Let's meet at Cafè Selina.
Rishab: Is 7 pm okay for everyone?
Vihaan,Nikhil,Ruhani,Samaira: Yes it is.
