(Set 5 years after Duet #1)

Arya Malhotra, now 22, is one of the youngest award-winning photographers in Australia. Her work features in major galleries, known for its emotional depth and visual poetry. She's calm, composed, and rarely lets people in-except through her art. Arya still sends postcards to herself from every country she visits, but never sends one home. Her brother, Kritarth, remains her anchor, and though she never says it aloud, she still has dreams about the boy who made her laugh at her worst.

Ishaan Oberoi, now 22, is an internationally recognized photojournalist. He's traveled from Syrian refugee camps to the icy corners of Iceland capturing stories the world forgets. His apartment in Delhi is full of photos-none of them personal. He still gets tongue-tied hearing Arya's name and keeps her blocked only to stop himself from checking if she's online.

Maya Singhania, the most dazzling of the four, has taken over fashion weeks in Milan and Delhi. She runs her own sustainable label and lives between continents. She's still the firecracker, still sends chaotic group voice notes, and is the glue that keeps Ishaan and Nikhil connected.

Nikhil Goenka, the heart of the group, is now celebrated soccer player playing in Europe. Interviews love his goofy charm, but no one knows he still sends memes to Arya's old number, hoping she'll reply someday.

Current Setting:

An upcoming Global Creative Conference in Singapore brings together artists, journalists, designers, and athletes under one banner.

Arya is invited to exhibit her gallery "Stillness in Chaos."

Ishaan is set to deliver a keynote on "Telling Truths Through a Lens."

Maya is on the panel for "Fashion as Protest."

Nikhil is invited for a campaign shoot as the face of a new sports line.

Three of them still don't know that the person they have been trying to reach for years will be there.

And that's how it begins again-quietly, without announcements.
