Updated Timeline (Upto Segment # 12)
2009?: Sam is fourteen, loses his dad and they move back from Dehradun to Kolkata. His mom is clinically depressed.
Sometime before 2013: Nica has lost her parents and lives with her maternal uncle, and her cousin, Shweta.
2013: She joins Computer Science at St. Xavier's where she meets Sam (they volunteer together but it's possible she has forgotten him). Saikat is a fellow student in her college, he's also her colleague at TCS. Does she join TCS immediately after graduation or only after she leaves Abhay? this is not clear.
Sam is a Micro student, he's working as chauffeur for the Mehtas as repayment to Abhay's grandfather (his mom's father) whom he calls Abhinav naanu for taking care of his own grandfather's medical bills.
Mar-Apr 2014: She begins dating Abhay - who's a student in Micro. Sam sees them kissing (July 2014). He also possibly strikes up a friendship with Shweta (she may have joined college this year, she's junior to Nica whereas Abhay, Sam & Nica are all batchmates.) Possibly Shweta reintroduces them (Nica & Sam) and she doesnât remember him from their previous interaction?
Also, Sam has acquired a girlfriend. Not certain if/when he broke up, or if theyâre still together.
2016: They pass out of college? (not established) Sam decides to stay away from Nica. Not clear when he re-enters her life.
2017: Abhay joins his dad's business?
Dec 2019: Abhay & Nica get married (they've been married for a while in 2021 acc to Shibz changes in Samarth's diary entry). Nica's uncle pays for the wedding
Aug 2021: Abhay cheats on Nica (Sam sees him kissing another woman but doesn't tell Nica), may have been happening for a while.
27 Nov 2022: Saikat & Shweta's wedding
Circa 11 Dec 2022: Nica discovers she's pregnant (doctor's letter, she would be about a month pregnant or thereabouts) & plans to tell Abhay but he goes on a business trip & she discovers his affair after which she leaves - and leaves behind her pregnancy test results for him to find.
18 Dec 2022: Sam goes to visit her with the results that Abhay has returned along with a note saying he wants nothing to do with the baby or her. Could be the first time Sam is re-entering her life after a long time? May have stopped working for the Mehtas around this time too.
Jan 2023?: Nica moves out of her uncle's home & rents a flat. She gets a job at TCS. (From Shibz's segment. Acc to QD she gets a job immediately after she passes out of college)
Sometime between 18 Dec and Jan/Feb 2023: Nica gets an abortion. Sam helps her through it.
May 27, 2023: Nica & Abhay are divorced (Shweta & Sam have supported her through it)
Saikat (her work colleague & friend) comes to visit her on the day the divorce goes through. She overhears Sam saying he'd seen Abhay with another woman and that he loves her. Timeline coincides with Segment #1 Scenario.
Nica realizes she has been betrayed by Sam (& his family too)- the reason for this is not yet clear.
Between May and June 2023: Shiri's segment: Convo between Abhinav naanu & his daughter, Abhay's mom that reveals Abhay & Samarth are twins separated at birth. It is implied that Abhinav kept it a secret "for the sake of his friendship". His daughter argues for Samarth, and Abhinav seems worried about Abhay's thoughts in the matter.
July 2023: Saikat and Shweta's honeymoon in Maldives where he gets into a scuffle with Abhay.
Not certain if this coincides with the timeline of Samarth going back to meet Veronica (Shibz's segment #12 but I'm assuming it does and it brings us to present day timeline)
Abhay is with Jiya, his lover.
Please guys - try to stick to linear times now. đ¤Ą
This back and forth is making my head spin.
We're at July 2023. Let's stay there please. đ
Also I have deduced (don't ask me how) that they are 29 years old, except Shweta who's younger.
