CHAPTER THREE: My arrival

SAMIR POV

Date: 25th May 2024

London

13:00 pm

I got off the airplane looking at the beautiful landscape of London. I was ecstatic to be here.

It has always been a dream of mine to live in this independent busy city full of life to make my dreams come true to be the best actor in the world.

Also, maybe because I  will finally get the chance to meet  her, Kriti Maya’s best friend, realising I had fallen for her ever since I saw her photo for the first time, when Maya showed it to me two years ago when I was 17. I can’t wait to finally meet her in person. I have been waiting for a long time.

After leaving the plane, I walked up to the luggage carousel to collect my luggage.

After collecting them, I walked out of the airport and saw my younger cousin Maya who is 18 years old waving at me excitedly standing next to her car.

I walked up to her, who helped me put my bags in the car trunk and gave me a big hug “It’s so good to see you again Sam.” her words caused me to chuckle.

“You too Cuz” Hey, where is your friend?” She then suddenly gave me a teasing look.

I was about to say something else when she said “Don’t worry lover boy if you come with me to tonight’s prom you will see your princess”.

Her words caused me to choke. “Um sure, but she is not my princess” I said trying not to look affected with what she just said.

“Yeah sure,” she said laughing.

I rolled my eyes and said “let’s go, you don’t want to be late to your prom”.

“Oh yeah you're right” she said with a glint of excitement in her eyes as she hopped into the driving seat, closing the door and starting the car putting the engine on with her car keys, which caused a chuckle from my side.

A few minutes later

She parked the car at a shopping mall. As I saw this, I raised an eyebrow and looked at her “Why are we here? I thought you already got your dress”

She looks back at me and smiles “We are here for you, you want to impress Kriti right? Let’s go” As she said that she dragged me out of the car to a shop by tugging on my arm I was shocked at first but I slowly smiled as I knew she was just trying to help me. I guess that’s a perk of being her favorite cousin.

A few minutes later we entered the store. I was surprised by how many clothes there were. I saw plenty of suits but none seemed to catch my eye. Maya noticed and said “Let me guess? not your style right? Don’t worry Sam I know the perfect place, follow me” After she said that, I followed her I had to admit I was kind of curious about where she was taking me.

After a few minutes, my steps halted to a stop and my jaw dropped with my eyes widened in shock .

The store she took me to was filled with plenty of Indian clothes. I never expected to see this many beautiful Indian designs in London.

I looked at her and smiled, patting her head “You know me so well, little cuz. Thank you” She smiled back at me and gave me some space to look around to find the perfect outfit to impress Kriti who I am very excited to meet for the first time.
