They were schoolmates — she was in 9th grade, and he was in 10th when they first became friends. What started as casual chats turned into a deep bond.
Avaan Agnihotri was everything a school crush could be — charming, athletic, school and football team captain. He was the school’s golden boy — everyone’s favourite, and he knew it. A bit full of himself, maybe, but in a way that made people smile rather than roll their eyes.

Eraya Kapoor was the opposite — bold, creative, and a little wild. She was kind and friendly, but there was always more going on beneath the surface. A rebel wrapped in a sunshine smile. A lovable mess, people called her — and she didn’t mind.

Avaan fell for her the moment he saw her.
She fell for him a year later.
But neither said a word.

After Avaan graduated, they kept in touch for a while. But after Eraya’s 12th grade exams. Life moved on. She shifted to London, he moved to New York — and just like that, their story paused.

Years passed.
When Eraya came back to India, her parents started bringing up marriage. She had no one in mind, so she told them to find someone good.

They did.

His name was Advay Agnihotri — model, singer, smooth-talker. Confident and stylish, but gentle and respectful too. He checked every box.

Her family liked him. A meeting was arranged at his house. Eraya hadn’t seen his photo beforehand. When she finally met him, her heart skipped a beat.

“Avaan?” she said, shocked.
The boy smiled. “No, I’m Advay Agnihotri.”
And then came a voice behind her — warm, familiar, unforgettable.
“I’m Avaan.”

She turned, and there he was. The same face, same eyes.
She had never known Avaan had a twin.

And just like that, everything changed.
Old feelings resurfaced. It wasn’t easy. It was messy, confusing, full of what-ifs.

But love isn’t perfect.
Sometimes, it’s quiet, complicated — and destined.
Because Avaan and Eraya weren’t just old friends.
They were something more.

Something written in the stars.
