("Unveiling Surprises: A Twist in the Tale")

Seza came back to her hometown. It's been a day since she was last in her hometown, and nothing seems good to her. She was missing the presence of Avisel and cherishing the moments they shared. Meanwhile, she took her mobile phone and texted Avisel, saying, "Hey, are you free?" Immediately, she got the reply, "Yes, babe! I'm free. It seems that you are missing me, right?" Seza got a smile on her face, thinking that Avisel understood her feelings. As soon as Seza was tapping her keyboard to reply, she received a call from Avisel. Seza's heart was filled with joy, and without delay, she answered the call. They talked for almost an hour and hung up. It was the best moment to share a conversation on the phone. Seza was enjoying every moment of her love life because it was the first time she had been committed to someone. They used to talk in bed until they fell asleep. Slowly, their phone conversations got longer each day. They couldn't even think of a day without the call. They used to share the things they did from the start of the day until the end of the day. Seza was deeply immersed in the warmth of Avisel's love. She felt more love towards Avisel and believed he was the one she needed to treasure forever. She started feeling blessed for finding a perfect match who was caring, understanding, supportive, and lovable. She was very much into Avisel. She had fully given her heart to him, and her trust in Avisel was boundless. They were both happy with each other, but sometimes it was disappointing because of not being able to meet due to the long-distance relationship.
One day she received an email saying that her results were out. She panicked. Every cell inside her body shivered, and she was really scared. At that moment, she felt her phone vibrate; it was Artav. He said he was on the way to the post office, and if she wanted to get the results today, he would wait for her. She said, "OK, I will be there soon" Seza was unable to find a cab, so she decided to call Artav and ask him to pick up her results as well.
After a few hours, Artav called Seza and told her that she had passed and even promoted to another class with a good percentage. On the other side, Artav was the topper of the class. Seza congratulated him and asked for the sweets. He agreed to get sweets, but Seza knew that he wasn't going to give her any because he was Rapacious. After a few more talks, they hung up.
A few hours later, Seza's mom asked her to get ready for a relative's marriage ceremony the next day. Seza initially refused to go because she didn't like attending such events, as they took away her time with Avisel. However, in the end, she had to go reluctantly because of her mother's insistence.
Next day at the marriage venue: Seza walked inside the reception, talking to relatives and greeting them with "Namaskar." She met her cousin Ana, who was of the same age and studying in the same class. Ana was more like a friend than a sister, someone Seza could lean on without fear. Seza and Ana were loitering near the dining hall, where Seza heard a familiar sound of laughter that she recognized. She peeked through the curtains to see who it was, and it turned out to be Artav. She was shocked and in huge confusion after seeing Artav laughing and talking to her cousins. Seza walked inside, and when Artav saw her, he came up and asked in a surprised tone, "Hey! How come you're here?" Seza, with the same confused expression, questioned him back, "I was going to ask you the same question! Why are you here?" Artav started to laugh and said, "This is my brother's wedding function, so I'm here." Seza explained that she had also come to attend her relative's marriage ceremony. Both were in confusion, and then Artav's mom came and cleared their confusion, explaining that Artav's mom and Seza's mom were from the same place, completed their schooling at the same school, were childhood friends, belonged to the same community, and had a close relation (kind of relatives). After hearing this, they both started laughing. Throughout the day, Artav, Seza, and Ana were together, enjoying the function to the fullest. Their families were also having a great time enjoying each other's company. Seza shared about Avisel with Artav, and after listening, Artav started teasing her. Artav and Seza had been close since school, but they were distant relatives
