Discovering Life Through Freestyle Writing

Co-incidence or Fate…?

December 12, 2020 by Moni

Maya was scrolling through Delhi Delight Cafe’s Facebook page when she stumbled upon a picture of the three owners, Anil, Abhishek, and Z. She decided to check out their profiles, as she had only seen Anil in the restaurant before. While looking at Z’s profile, her best friend P called her. Unbeknownst to Maya, she accidentally sent a friend request to Z when she put her phone down. Maya had just switched from using an iPhone to an Android phone, and she was still getting used to the differences.

The next day, Maya was sitting in her usual spot in Delhi Delights, working on her novel when Anil and Z approached her.

“Hey, hi,” said Anil. “This is your fifth coffee within 30 minutes. All well?”

Maya smiled. “Yeah, thank you for asking.”

Z spoke up. “Thanks for the friend request. I got it last night.”

Maya was confused. “Request?”

“On Facebook,” said Z.

Maya’s face flushed. “Well, I really didn’t mean to. Sorry about that.”

Z smiled. “No worries. I was actually obliged. I knew you were a regular customer of ours, but I didn’t realize you were a counselor too.”

Anil chimed in. “Yeah, I had no idea either.”

Maya nodded. “Yep, I am.”

Anil excused himself, and Z sat across from Maya.

“I saw on your profile that you’re a pass out of Delhi University,” said Z. “Which college did you attend?”

“KM,” Maya replied.

“Oh my God! I’m from KM too,” said Z. “What year did you graduate?”

“2014,” said Maya.

“You must be kidding. I graduated a year before you,” said Z. “How have we never met before?”

Maya smiled. “Maybe we were in different departments.”

Z chuckled. “I was in Hotel Management, in the same building as you. You were on the third floor, and I was on the first.”

Maya was surprised. All the places she loved were also Z’s favorites, but they had never met before. Maya was getting bored, but it would be rude to shoo Z away since he was sitting in front of her.

“It might be fate, you know, that we met here in Vadodara after so many years,” said Z.

Maya rolled her eyes. “I don’t believe in fate.”

Z raised an eyebrow. “Then what do you call this?”

“Coincidence,” said Maya.

“Well, there’s no such thing as coincidence,” said Z. “Everything happens for a reason.”

Before Maya could respond, Anil called Z over for some work. Maya quickly asked for the bill and rushed out of the café.

As she walked out, Maya checked her Facebook and saw that Z had accepted her friend request. “I just hope you’re just a coincidence, Mr. Z,” she murmured to herself.

Was it truly just a coincidence, or was Maya’s life about to take a turn?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                to be continued…

    it is always hard for me to feel if it was a coincidence or fate. the best thing happen to be felt like a simple coincidence only to be felt like a fate 10 years after

    It is vital for us, humans, to have a connection with our soul and our angels, ie, gods who speak to us in different ways. But such a connection happens when we make it possible.

  10. Surbhi prapanna says

    I strongly believe in destiny and fate. And you had made me curious what happened next. Looking forward for next post.

    It definitely seems like it was more than a coincidence. They probably met at the right time because if they had met before… maybe things wouldn’t have turned out the same way as they are going right now.

  14. Nimra khan says

    December 18, 2020 at 5:09 pm

    I am a strong believer of fate/reason therfore I don’t believe that something is a coincidence.

  15. Jasmine E says

    December 18, 2020 at 6:33 pm

    Hmmm, I think it was definitely fate and not a coincidence!

    December 18, 2020 at 10:19 pm

    This is a good question that I always ask myself, and it seems that we will never be able to find the answer don’t me? 🙂 But anyway, it seems something interesting is going to happen and I am looking forward to the next chapter. – Knycx Journeying

  21. Alyssa says

    Whoa, I am waiting anxiously to see what happens with Maya & Z!! Will this lead to something? I DONT KNOW…but I cant wait to find out more! But seriously, great writing, I read it all and was quite intrigued by what was going on and felt like I could actually envision the whole scene.

  25. Judy says

    December 20, 2020 at 1:15 am

    One can call it fate or a good coincidence. But whatever it is Maya’s life seems to take an interesting turn.

  26. Hansa Kajaria says

    December 20, 2020 at 2:56 pm

    Wow I was so into the story and now I’m intrigued to know more. I am a person who believes in fate.

  27. Docdivatraveller says

    That was an interesting read! Have you watched serendipity? Coincidence is such a lovely and interesting thing!

  28. Jemma says

    What an interesting read! Im a huge believer in fate – I wonder what will happen next!

  29. Sweta Papaiyawala says

    December 20, 2020 at 10:25 pm

    I believe on date. Everything happens for a reason. My story is somewhat similar to this.

  30. Rahul Prabhakar says

    December 20, 2020 at 10:50 pm

    Life is full of events that are destined to take place. Nothing is a coincidence per se. Looking at your story, I have a feeling that Maya and Z will probably meet again. Maya should be probably be a lil more open to adventure I’d say.

  31. Jenni says

    December 21, 2020 at 1:38 am

    Ooh how exciting! I do believe in fate, I think everything happens for a reason

  32. Cynthia | What A Girl Eats says

    I completely agree with you. I don’t think there are any coincidences! Everything happens for a reason.

  34. Rosey says

    December 21, 2020 at 9:51 am

    I’m going to say her life is about to take a turn. Very good writing, I’m excited to see what the turn might be.

  35. Adriana says

    December 21, 2020 at 3:35 pm

    I am a strong believer in fate only superior energy is the one in charge so who knows if this coincided probably was supposed to happen.

  36. Cristina Petrini says

    December 21, 2020 at 3:37 pm

    Maybe it’s because I have faith and hope, but he made my Lost “Nothing happens by chance” tagline. And I believe serendipity and chance is just a way of destiny to manifest itself.

  37. Catherine says

    December 21, 2020 at 9:28 pm

    Ooh this story had me hooked! Thanks for sharing!

  38. Amber Myers says

  39. Nishtha says

  40. Dominique Walton Brooks says

  41. Cristina Ioana says

    December 22, 2020 at 3:31 am

    I think it was fate, whether Maya believes in it or not. Very curious to see what happens next.

  42. Wanda Lopez says

    December 22, 2020 at 8:29 am

    Love this story. I do believe things happen just the way they are meant to.

  43. Leanne Wong says

    December 22, 2020 at 9:16 am

    Might be a coincidence, but everything happens for a reason! Sometimes when you least expect it.

  44. Veronika Sykorova says

    December 22, 2020 at 10:16 am

    I definitely believe in fate. Everything happens for a reason

  45. Natalia says

    December 22, 2020 at 12:43 pm

    Stating what’s co-incidence and what’s fate isn’t easy for sure. Some people even say that there are no co-incidences at all! 🙂

  46. Nimra khan says

    December 22, 2020 at 2:43 pm

    By the way, it seems to be an interesting story, I am waiting for the next one. Thanks for the share

  47. Mommy Sigrid says

    December 22, 2020 at 3:31 pm

    5th coffee in 30 minutes. haha but I like the story. Now, I want to know more about what happens between them 🙂

  48. Alvern says

    December 22, 2020 at 3:47 pm

    Awesome little story and I do enjoy some suspense a little now and again. I am trying to think if I believe in fate or coincidence or maybe providence is my preferred option.

  49. Blair villanueva says

    December 22, 2020 at 3:49 pm

    Hhmmm I can see something sparkly in this story. I like it and hope Z will have his move to invite her out.

  50. Ivan M. Jose says

    I hope Maya’s story turns out for the better. I do believe that everything happens for a reason.

    This was a very interesting read. I believe in fate as many seem to. I’d like to see what will happen next!

  52. Joanna says

    December 22, 2020 at 9:56 pm

    I guess you will never know until you will see how the story will develop. Sometimes it’s fate, sometimes it’s coincidence. Sometimes it’s just meant to be.

  53. Lisa says

    December 22, 2020 at 10:42 pm

    Sometimes I think coincidence and fate are the same thing. It depends on your perspective.

  54. Marjie Mare says

    December 23, 2020 at 7:31 am

    I cannot wait for your next post to see what happens. I am a firm believer in fate and destinity.

  55. Anosa Malanga says

    December 23, 2020 at 2:21 pm

    I must say there is a reason behind it. Sometimes, things happen when we least expect it but surely everything happens for a reason.

  56. Eloise says

    December 24, 2020 at 8:51 am

    fun read! I say everything happens for a reason and certain people are meant to come across our paths at certain moments in our lives. ; )

  57. Cindy Ingalls says

    December 24, 2020 at 9:21 am

    I think Maya has some interesting times ahead of her. And I do not believe in coincidence.

    January 17, 2021 at 6:57 pm

    Fate and life always have a funny way of dealing with our lives. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe it was the way it is supposed to be. Great writing!

  59. Marysa says

    January 20, 2021 at 8:57 pm

    Coincidences are such a funny thing. It is definitely food for thought! Looking forward to reading the rest of the story.

    September 6, 2022 at 10:54 am

    Monidipa amazing lady you write so well and can pen down stories so well and I need to learn it from you for sure. A story turns interesting when author pick the right flow and have excellent writing skill. Coincidence do happen and once I was sitting in my room and husband upstairs . All of a sudden I felt he will fall from the strairs and trust me within seconds I heard him rolling from stairs when coming down… Yes he is safe and its a year back incident which proved coincidence happens

  61. Manisha Garg says

    September 9, 2022 at 10:56 pm

    Sometimes it’s difficult to say whether its destiny or co-incidence but I am looking forward to knowing more about Maya’s story.

    I remember reading this series but I don’t know how it started. This must be one of the earlier episodes, right?

    • Moni says

      September 10, 2022 at 7:24 pm

      This is the first chapter

  66. Harjeet Kaur says

    September 10, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    Your stories actually tickle the mind. Makes one wonder what’s next! And then the imagination goes riot 🙂

  67. Ritu Bindra says

    September 10, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    Ahh. I remember this one. Not going to spoil it. Love the way you wove this story with all the twists and cliffhangers.

  68. Anjali Tripathi says

    September 11, 2022 at 10:22 am

    This is a question that I often ask myself, and it appears that we will never find an answer. It’s a fascinating story, and I’d like to read more about it. So enthralling.

  69. Vasumathi says

    September 11, 2022 at 11:50 am

    I had followed this story for a bit but i had not read all your posts/episodes. This was a good reminder to get back and complete the story! I love the way you build up the tension/ curiosity in each episode.

  70. Brinda Vijay says

    September 11, 2022 at 12:55 pm

    I think this guy Z is a stalker! We shall see as the plot thickens! 😀

  71. Jeannine says

    September 11, 2022 at 1:11 pm

    This story really got me hooked! haha… just like the old days when I used to love those chic-flick movies and the books I read was all about romance. haha. But really, I’m a firm believer of fate. Coincidence for me is simply a path for fate to happen. For everything to come into place.

  72. Jhilmil D Saha says

    September 11, 2022 at 5:27 pm

    Oh Maya is just like me, gets bored so easily. This is going to be an interesting read.. Would love to know what comes next

  74. Pooja Jha says

    September 12, 2022 at 12:45 am

    Everything happens for a reason for sure, be it co-incedence or through planning, Maya is already trapped and the next chapter of this will definitely interesting, Wainting for the same……

  75. Docdivatraveller says

    September 12, 2022 at 1:22 am

    I love your take on the coincidence part. Everything happens for a reason. For a brief time, I was teleported to my college days after imagining Maya in the cafe .

  76. Pamela Mukherjee says

    September 12, 2022 at 2:55 pm

    Again another interesting plot from you. Waiting for the next episode, please write something on love, chemistry and a happy ending ..yay

    I have read the later chapters of this series. Reading the first chapter after reading the later ones feels weird. I am going start all over again and read them in line. I loved the way you have shown Maya and Z’s story and I definitely don’t hink this was a co-incidence.
