Ishqiya

-• Rangon ke saath •-

"A tale of two hearts—one scarred by the world's gaze, the other burdened by success—brought together by a twist of fate."

Characters

-• Bhargavi Desai •-

"To every woman who’s been told she isn’t enough—you are more than the color of your skin. You are a story waiting to shine."

- 26
- Accountant at a mid-tier company.
- Quietly resilient but emotionally scarred from years of bullying and criticism.
- Witty and sarcastic, using humor as a defense mechanism.
- Hardworking and practical, determined to carve a space for herself despite societal norms.
- Appearance: Dusky complexion with sharp, expressive eyes, and curly black hair that she usually ties in a loose bun. She has an unassuming beauty that grows on people.

Bhargavi grew up in a household overshadowed by her toxic mother, whose bitterness from a failed marriage trickled down to her daughters. With her sister constantly praised for her fair complexion and beauty, Bhargavi became the target of constant criticism.
She dreams of freedom but remains tethered to her family, sacrificing her happiness for their survival.

"Whom do you think will love you with this skin color, huh? Find yourself a rich man and get married, at least you won’t end up like me.” These words from her mother were Bhargavi’s daily mantra—words meant to protect but that only left scars she struggled to heal.

𓇢𓆸

-• Vikram Khatri •-

"To those who wear strength as their armor, remember, even the strongest walls need a window to let the light in."

- 30
- CEO of Khatri Textiles, a rapidly growing conglomerate known for its innovation in eco-friendly fabrics.
- Reserved, logical, and often curt.
- A perfectionist who dislikes emotional vulnerability.
- Deeply values loyalty and respect but struggles with interpersonal connections.
- Appearance: Tall with a rugged jawline and piercing black eyes, always in sharp suits that scream authority. His cold exterior hides an intense, loyal heart.

Vikram grew up in a disciplined, traditional household that left no room for emotional expression. After his father’s early death, he took on the responsibility of running the family business, which hardened him over time. Despite his cold demeanor, he secretly craves warmth—a longing buried beneath layers of ambition and duty.

"You’ll have to impress me with your work, not excuses,” he said, his eyes narrowing with impatience. Vikram Khatri didn’t tolerate mediocrity in business—or in people.

I

know this might come as a surprise, but I wanted to take a moment to share some updates with you all.

First, I want to thank you for your patience and unwavering support for Vows of Serenity. I know many of you have been eagerly waiting for new chapters, and I truly appreciate your excitement. However, VOS isn’t coming anytime soon. Writing has been a challenging journey for me lately, and I need some time to regain my confidence and streamline the plot. I hope you’ll understand and stay tuned for future announcements.

In the meantime, I’ve been experimenting with a new project—RKS. It’s a more complex genre, but I’m excited to challenge myself and share something fresh with you. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be updating new chapters. Your feedback and encouragement mean everything to me, and I hope you’ll give it a chance with positive criticism.

That said, I won’t be very active on Instagram for now, as managing writing and studies has been quite hectic. I deeply value your support during this time—it keeps me going even when things feel overwhelming.

Initially, I considered releasing updates on ScrollStack, but since I haven’t launched Ishqiya there yet, I’ve decided to wait. However, extended chapters, POVs, and exclusive additional scenes for all my stories will eventually be available there. Stay tuned for updates on that!

Thank you for being such an readers. Your love, patience, and encouragement mean the world to me. Your reviews and shares motivate me to keep improving and growing as a writer.

Follow me on Instagram (roopenzel_) for spoilers and updates, remember to like, comment, share and drop your reviews.🌷
