Chapter 12

After their conversation about the past and catching up on family matters, Harshad felt a sense of warmth and nostalgia. He looked at Nandini, a spark of excitement in his eyes.

"Hey, Nandini," Harshad began, "what are your plans for tomorrow? It's Sunday."

Nandini shrugged, smiling. "I don't have any plans, actually. Just a lazy day at home, I guess."

Harshad's face lit up. "Perfect! How about you and Aliya meet me at the Ice cream parlour? I'd love to spend some time with my best friends and sisters after all these years."

Nandini's smile widened at the idea. "That sounds great! Aliya would be thrilled to see you. She still talks about the fun times we had as kids."

"Great," Harshad said, beaming. "I'll text you the details. It'll be like old times, just catching up and having fun."

Manik watched their interaction, feeling happy for Nandini.

Harshad nodded, his expression softening. "Yeah, it's really good to be back and to have you both in my life again. I've missed you."

Nandini felt a wave of affection for Harshad, appreciating his genuine care and protectiveness. "We've missed you too, Harshad. Tomorrow will be special."

They chatted a bit more before parting ways, each of them feeling a sense of anticipation for the day ahead. As Nandini walked home, she thought about how lucky she was to have friends like Manik and Harshad. The weight of the past seemed lighter, and she felt a renewed sense of hope and happiness.

After college, Nandini went home, feeling excited about the next day's plans. She found Aliya in the living room, engrossed in a book.

"Hey, Aliya," Nandini called out, making her sister look up. "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Aliya closed her book and stretched. "I don't have any plans. Why? Do you have something in mind?"

Nandini grinned mischievously. "We both need a plan then. How about we go out tomorrow? I have a surprise for you."

Aliya's eyes lit up with excitement. "A surprise? You know I love surprises!" She started guessing, her imagination running wild. "Are we going to a new restaurant? Shopping? Or maybe a movie?"

Nandini laughed, shaking her head. "Nope, I'm not telling. You'll just have to wait and see."

Aliya pouted playfully but couldn't hide her excitement. "You always keep me on my toes. Fine, I'll wait. But it better be a good surprise!"

"It will be, I promise," Nandini said, smiling at her sister's enthusiasm.

As they chatted and planned their outfits for the next day, Nandini felt a sense of contentment. The upcoming reunion with Harshad and the chance to spend quality time with Aliya filled her heart with joy. She couldn't wait to see the look on Aliya's face when they met Harshad at the parlour.

--------------------------------------------

The next day, Nandini and Aliya booked a cab and set off from home, eager for their outing. As they arrived at the venue, Aliya's eyes lit up with delight.

"Ice cream!" she exclaimed, smiling widely. "I've been craving it since this morning."

Nandini chuckled at her sister's excitement. "I knew you'd like it. But that's not the only surprise."

They entered the parlour, and Nandini guided Aliya to a seat where a guy was sitting. Aliya looked at Nandini, her eyes questioning who it was. Nandini tapped the guy on the shoulder, and he stood up, turning to face them. Aliya squinted, trying to place his familiar features.
