Chapter 2: An Unexpected Encounter
After the incident on the roadside, Lilly returned to her normal life.
Her mother worked hard every day to take care of the family, so Lilly often helped with household responsibilities whenever she could.
One evening, her mother asked her to buy some groceries from a nearby shop.
Lilly took the shopping list and walked to the store.

After collecting everything they needed, she headed toward the billing counter. As she waited in line, a familiar voice caught her attention.
"Don't worry, Aunty. I'll carry these for you."
Lilly turned around.
To her surprise, it was Ishan.
He was helping an older woman with several heavy grocery bags.
A moment later, Lilly realized that the woman was her mother.
The bags were too heavy for her to carry alone, and Ishan had stepped in to help without hesitation.
"Thank you so much, son," Lilly's mother said with a grateful smile.
"It's no problem, Aunty," Ishan replied warmly.
Just then, his eyes met Lilly's.
For a few seconds, neither of them spoke.
"You?" Lilly asked, unable to hide her surprise.
Ishan smiled.
"Looks like fate wants us to keep meeting
Normally, Lilly would have rolled her eyes and walked away.
But this time was different.
He had helped her mother when she needed it most.
For the first time, Lilly didn't feel annoyed when she looked at him.
Instead, she felt a small sense of gratitude.
"Thank you," she said softly.
The simple words brought a smile to Ishan's face.

It was the first time Lilly had spoken kindly to him.
Together, they helped carry the groceries outside the shop.
As they walked, Lilly noticed how respectful and caring Ishan was toward her mother.
It was completely different from the impression she had formed when they first met.
Maybe she had judged him too quickly.
When they finally reached home, Lilly's mother thanked Ishan once again.

Before leaving, he looked at Lilly and smiled.
"See you around, Lilly."
Lilly didn't know why, but this time she found herself smiling back.
As Ishan walked away, neither of them realized that this unexpected meeting was only the beginning of a story that would change their lives forever.
