My heart hummed a happy tune as I got into the car with Ankush and directed him towards Suchi's home. Of course, I had no idea about the strange games that the gods were playing that day. Sometimes things happen for a reason, though they are not obvious at that moment, and there is nothing you can do to control them.

When Vipasha--Vee to friends--eighteen and single, makes the decision to have her baby, she does more than give up her promising modelling career. She ends up cutting ties with her family, and with Ankush, the man she thought she was in love with.

Fast-forward sixteen years and she now has two unusual careers: she runs a dog-boarding facility and is a gym instructor. Her son, Aryan, thinks she is the coolest mom in the world and hopes she will one day find her Prince Charming--exactly what her best friend Suchi has in mind for her. But Vee secretly has a thing for Saurabh, the quirky vet. Then, out of the blue, Ankush comes back into their lives.

But can a decision that was taken at eighteen--more in the throes of lust than love--be the basis of a life-long relationship? Is there a future for Ankush and Vee?

Vee, Aryan and Ankush are in for the ride of their lives. No seat belts, full speed and a very bumpy road ahead. It Happens for a Reason is an enthralling story-about love, strong friendships and unusual choices made along paths never travelled before.
