As I stepped into the restaurant, my heart fluttered nervously, knowing that this meeting was arranged by my mother in hopes of finding a suitable match. Glancing around, I spotted a man sitting alone at a table, engrossed in his phone.

His silhouette exuded confidence, with broad shoulders and a sturdy physique that hinted at hours spent in the gym. His hair, silky and tousled, caught the light softly, framing his chiseled features with an air of effortless charm. It felt familiar .

Despite my apprehensions, I couldn't help but notice the subtle magnetism in his demeanor, sparking a flicker of curiosity within me. I don't know if it's him "the man chosen by my family for me" .
I asked the manager for table no-12 and I knew I was doomed because it was him " THE MAN " .

-----------------------
As she approached the table, her breath caught in her throat, and her steps faltered as she recognized the man before her.

Likewise, Abir's gaze lifted from his phone, his eyes widening in disbelief as he took in the unexpected sight of Mishti standing before him. Shock rippled through both of them, a silent acknowledgment of the twist of fate that had brought them together, unbeknownst to either of them.

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

We both were staring into each other's eyes but then the waiter came asking for the order . I nervously started the conversation and said

" Abir what are you doing here ? "

"I could ask you the same thing, Mishti. I didn't expect to see you here."

"My mom set up a meeting for me. She said she found someone she thinks I should meet."

"Same here. My parents arranged this meeting out of the blue. I had no idea..."

As they exchanged puzzled looks, realization dawned upon them simultaneously, the pieces of the puzzle falling into place.

"Wait a minute... Could it be that..."

"...our parents chose each other for us?" He completed her .

Their eyes widened in astonishment as the truth sank in, the serendipitous nature of their encounter leaving them speechless.

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

As they settled into their seats, a sense of ease washed over them, the initial awkwardness melting away as they delved into conversation.

Abir and Mishti shared tales  from their lives, their passions, and their entrepreneurial journeys, finding common ground in their shared ambition and drive.

Midway through their conversation, Abir couldn't help but notice the way Mishti's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she spoke about her latest  fashion project. Her genuine passion for her work was noticed , and he found himself captivated by her every word.
He didn't know he was staring

" why are you staring , abir " ?

" Nothing , it's just I saw you talking after so many days, you look different , your eyes speak so many languages mishti . There's something about the way you talk about your business ... It's truly inspiring "

Mishti's cheeks flushed with a mixture of surprise and pleasure at his compliment.

Their gazes lingered, a silent understanding passing between them as they realized the depth of their connection. In that moment, amidst the clinking of glasses and the soft hum of conversation, Abir and Mishti's hearts danced to the rhythm of a newfound bond, one that transcended the confines of mere coincidence.

At this moment, they knew they would work together on this , they are together on this . ♡

" Look abir , I , - I don't know how to say this but can we take this slow like getting to know each other first then jumping onto something "

" yeah , of course I was going to say this you know
Mishteeee you stole my words girl 
Now shall we move , I'm so sorry I have a meeting I didn't know it would take us this long and didn't realise it's been an hour. "

Haina , even I didn't realize . She looked at abir , realising that maybe he's her soulmate , maybe he won't betray her , question her like everyone does.
She didn't realise she was zoned out until abir called her and said

" MISHTI WE WILL MAKE IT TO THE END "

She smiled knowing the depth of his words as if he was promising himself and me

" Of course we will "
As they parted ways outside the restaurant, a warm smile graced both Abir and Mishti's lips, an unspoken agreement passing between them. Their hearts fluttered with the promise of something new, something worth exploring. Each settling into their own car, they exchanged one last glance through the windows, a silent reassurance that they were both in this together.

As they drove towards their offices, the echoes of their shared smiles and glances still lingering in the air, they couldn't help but feel a sense of hope stirring within them. Perhaps this unexpected encounter was more than just a chance ; perhaps it was the beginning of something beautiful.
With determination in their hearts and a spark of possibility igniting their souls, Abir and Mishti knew that they would work together, hand in hand, to nurture this budding connection and see where it might lead. A future together seemed more than just a possibility— it felt like destiny.
