Going to shoping mall

Tiara’s POV

The flight finally landed. Mumbai… I’m here.

As soon as I stepped out into the airport, I saw him.

Dada.

My eyes welled up the moment I saw my brother standing there, waiting for me. Two years. It had been two whole years since I last saw him.

“Dadaaaa!” I shouted and ran to him.

He opened his arms, and we hugged tight — like two pieces of a puzzle finally finding each other again. We laughed, we mocked each other, we acted like nothing changed... but inside, we both knew it had.

Home wasn’t just a place. It was him.

We walked to the car together. Dada got into the driver’s seat, and I sat beside him.

Veer’s POV

From a distance, I watched.

My babygirl is finally here.

I saw her run into Adi’s arms — that same laugh, that same innocence, still untouched by this world.

I wanted to go to her. Hold her. Tell her I missed her every second of every day.

But I didn’t.

Not yet.

I followed them silently. My eyes didn’t blink. Not even once.

She entered Adi’s home.

Safe. Close.

My work called, so I turned my car around and drove to the office.

But my soul? My soul was already with her.

Later – At Adi’s House

Tiara: “Dada, should I go to Adri’s house tomorrow, or should she come here?”

Adi: “Tell her to come. No problem.”

Tiara: “Yayy! Thanks! And this evening… let’s go shopping and then have dinner out, okay?”

Adi: “No, I have work. Can’t go.”

I pouted. “Please please please dadaaa… let’s go na…”

He looked at me. Then smiled slightly.

Adi: “Fine. Let me see what I can do.”

My heart did a little jump. There was hope again.

I was too excited. I wanted to explore this city. Our city now. And see Adri — my soul sister — after two freaking years. But without Dada, how would we even go out in the evening?.

I mean yeah of course we can , we're not little kids anymore but I'm new here . Even though I don't know Tara's house location properly it'll be better if adi go .

Evening – 5:32 PM

Tiara: “Dada… are we going or not?”

Adi: “No. I have a lot of pending work.”

My heart dropped. I sat quietly, hiding my face and emotions.

He saw me. He tapped my head.

Adi: “We’re going, bandariya. Now go get ready and tell your friend too.”

I squealed, “THANK YOUUUU!”

I ran into my room and immediately called Adri. She screamed on the call louder than I did. We both started getting ready together — on video call, obviously.

I wore a cute floral gown with a light brown jacket. Just some blush and kajal — my usual minimal glam. I looked good, I felt better.

I went downstairs, peeked into Dada’s room, and we left.

We picked up Adri on the way. The madness had begun.

At Oberoi Mall – 6:49 PM

Tiara: “Dada, who are we waiting for? Let’s go inside!”

Adi: “Wait. Veer’s joining us.”

Tiara: “That guy? Your angry best friend? That rude, grumpy one? As if nobody gave him honey when he was born?”

Adi: (laughing) “He’s not like that. You just don’t know him well.”

Tiara: “Hmm, maybe. But he gives serious dark villain vibes sometimes. I mean not a villain but like an alien in this earth”

Adi: “He’s a good guy. Strong, loyal. Good to the good… and hell for the bad.”

Tiara: “Okay, okay. But where is this CEO Sahab? We're getting late.”

Adi: “He’s the CEO, Tiara. Busy man. He’ll be here.”

I rolled my eyes and turned to Adri. We both started taking selfies, gossiping nonstop, and catching up on two years of everything.

Veer’s POV – 6:56 PM

And then… I arrived.

I stepped out of my black Rolls Royce. White shirt. Black blazer. Black pants.

I walked toward them — slow, steady, dangerous.

People turned to stare. Some girls whispered.

But I wasn’t looking at any of them.

My eyes found her.

Tiara.

She was standing there, laughing with Adri. The way her hair moved when she turned, the way her eyes sparkled without trying — I froze for a second.

God, you made her just for me, didn’t you?

Now she’s in my world.

And I’ll make sure this world becomes hers.
