Call it Coincidence

“Naina, Naina, Naina, I hear Vatsal’s voice calling out to me—
you’re falling in love with me, aren’t you?”

Meet Naina: a 25-year-old with big dreams and a cautious heart, searching for love that lasts and a job that doesn’t make her dread mornings.
Enter Vatsal: a charming, unpredictable 28-year-old lawyer-in-training, interning in Delhi before heading to London for his master’s degree.

When their paths cross unexpectedly, sparks fly. A whirlwind first date leads to an instant connection, and soon they’re inseparable—strangers turned friends, best friends turned something more. Everyone thinks it’s only a matter of time before they call it love. How could they not, when it feels so right?

But everything changes at a Diwali party—the best and worst day of Naina’s life. A single devastating event shatters their bond, leaving them estranged for three long years.

When fate brings them back together, Naina is guarded, and Vatsal is disarmingly familiar. The chemistry is undeniable, the emotions raw as ever—but can Naina risk reopening old wounds? And will Vatsal finally find the courage to stay and face what tore them apart?

A story of love, loss, and second chances, Fool Me Twice asks whether the heart can truly heal—or if some love stories are meant to find their way back, no matter the time or distance.
