As the idea of attending Arjun's wedding together with Sid began to take shape in my mind, a renewed sense of hope filled my heart. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to reconnect with Sid's family and mend the bridges that had been strained for far too long. However, I knew this plan would require careful consideration and a delicate approach.

Notably, Arjun, who had formerly been a source of distress as my bully, has remarkably transitioned into a pillar of support.

One evening, after dinner, I mustered the courage to broach the subject with Sid. We were sitting on the porch, the soft glow of the porch light casting a warm ambiance around us.

"Sid," I began tentatively, "I've been thinking... Arjun's wedding is coming up, and I believe it could be a wonderful chance for us to reconnect with your family. It's been too long, and I want them to be a part of our lives."

Sid looked at me, a mixture of surprise and contemplation in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "You know, I've been feeling a growing distance between my family and me, especially after I left my job. I miss them, but I wasn't sure how to bridge that gap."

I smiled, relieved that he was open to the idea. "I think attending the wedding together would be a great first step," I said. "We can show them how much we've grown and how much we care about each other."

Sid nodded slowly, a small smile forming on his face. "You're right. It's time to mend those relationships. Let's do it."

The next step was to approach Arjun about our plan. He had been surprisingly supportive lately, and I hoped he would be receptive to the idea. One evening, I called him and asked if we could meet.

Over coffee at a nearby cafe, I cautiously broached the topic. "Arjun, I wanted to talk to you about something important. Sid and I were thinking of attending your wedding together. It would mean a lot to both of us to be there for you and Subha."

Arjun's eyes softened, and he nodded. "I've noticed the changes in Sid since you two got together. I believe you've been a positive influence on him, and I'd like to mend our relationship as well. Having you both at the wedding would be wonderful."
