Love's Rivalry (LOVE AND WAR)

Introdution☺

Once upon a time, in the grand Oberoi mansion where power, wealth, and legacy collided, lived a boy named Rudra Singh Oberoi, the youngest son of an influential family. Blessed with everything he could ever want, Rudra never really had to worry about anything. While his elder brothers, Shivay and Omkara, handled the family empire with grace and seriousness, Rudra's biggest concerns revolved around his gym routine, maintaining his six-pack, and, of course, his well-earned title of being the most notorious playboy around.

Love? For Rudra, it was a joke. Relationships? He never took them seriously. Life, to him, was about protein shakes, flings, and flexing in front of the mirror. Immature, carefree, and stubborn, he was the exact opposite of Soumya, his cousin.

Now, Soumya? She was a force of nature. Calm, collected, and filled with wisdom about love—after all, she hosted a popular radio show called Love Angle, where she dished out advice on relationships and matters of the heart. She could talk about commitment and emotions with ease, but funnily enough, she wasn't exactly living a love story herself. She had control over everything except maybe her heart, which she kept guarded.

Despite their different worlds, Rudra and Soumya shared a history—a history filled with bickering, teasing, and endless fights. They hadn't seen each other in ten years, but time didn't seem to dull the tension between them. And now, fate had decided to bring these polar opposites together once again, under one roof.

At the heart of the family was their beloved Dadi, Kalyani Singh Oberoi. The wise matriarch, she believed in family above all and had one simple wish—to see all her children and grandchildren united. She doted on all of them, but this time, her sharp eyes could see something special brewing between the young ones, though they'd never admit it.

Shivay, the eldest and the most responsible, was now married to Anika. Together, they were the dynamic duo of the Oberoi empire—Shivay handling the business empire with his usual stern demeanor while Anika managed the event management company with flair and passion. Their love was the kind of fairytale romance that made others wish they could have something like it, even if some (like Rudra) would never admit it.

Omkara, the artist of the family, wasn't as involved in the business, but he pitched in when needed. He preferred to spend his time with Ishana, his girlfriend, who was a classical dancer with her own dance academy. Together, they were the artistic souls of the family, their relationship blossoming like a beautiful rhythm in the midst of the family's chaos.

Then there was Priyanka, the quiet but strong-willed youngest Oberoi sibling, who was adored by her brothers but often got lost in their overprotectiveness.

One fateful day, Rudra and Soumya found themselves face-to-face after a decade, and sparks flew—though not the romantic kind. Their first interaction after all these years was, as expected, full of banter, sarcastic remarks, and eye rolls. But beneath all that was an undeniable chemistry. They challenged each other, annoyed each other, but somehow, amidst all the arguments, they began to see each other in a different light.

Rudra, who once scoffed at the idea of love, began to feel things he couldn't explain. Soumya, always the mature one, found herself torn between the logical advice she'd given others and the growing feelings she had for this immature yet strangely endearing cousin of hers.

As time passed, their teasing turned into playful flirtation. Rudra's carefree attitude began to crack as Soumya's warmth melted his defenses. Their journey from constant bickering to realizing that they just might be falling in love was nothing short of comedic and romantic chaos. From stolen glances at family dinners to awkward moments during Dadi's matchmaking attempts, they were the last to realize they were meant for each other.

And as the Oberoi family watched in amusement, cheering them on, Rudra and Soumya were left to figure out how two completely different people—who had fought their whole lives—could finally stop fighting and start loving.

This is the story of Rudra and Soumya—how two people who couldn't be more different ended up being perfect for each other, proving that love works in the most mysterious (and often hilarious) ways.
