She likes cappuccinos. He likes chai in steel tumblers. She knows hospital corridors. He knows mountain trails. Adrija Pandey has spent her whole life in Dehradun - surrounded by city chaos and the comfort of knowing every street by heart. She's a doctor, certain her love story will be nothing like the small-town romances her mother keeps hinting at. Agastya Joshi is an Indian Army officer from the quiet hills of Almora - the kind of man who can fix a roof in the rain, find the sweetest kaafal on the slopes, and loves to sleep under a sky full of stars. He's as theth pahadi as they come... and the last person Adrija expects to be paired with for an arranged marriage. But when two worlds - lattes and laaltains , collide and sparks fly in the most unexpected ways. Between misunderstandings, stolen glances, family drama, and the unmistakable charm of the mountains, Adrija begins to wonder... Maybe love isn't about where you're from. Maybe it's about where you're meant to belong. Now, between lattes and laaltains, Adrija must figure out if opposites just clash... or if they fall in love. "You belong in the city, Adrija." "Then why do the mountains feel like home... when you're there?" *********************************************** "So... where do we fit? In your city cafes or my mountain nights?" "Somewhere in between, Agastya...𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙖𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨."

Love just wasn't her cup of tea. Or coffee. Or any other beverage. Not even when she's an experienced, expressive Bharatanatyam dancer. And all she could do was entrust her parents with her love life. What they do is find her an intriguing guy with mismatched eyes who wants nothing to do with it. He assumes he'd be ruining a girl's life for the sake of an arranged marriage. And so, she helps him escape. In a twist of fate, his attempt to repay her kindness only complicates things further. As their worlds collide in a series of chaotic and heartwarming encounters, will their initial clash drive them apart, or spark a love neither of them saw coming? Will Chandni's pragmatic heart ever find love? *** Aakash turned towards Chandni, "I'm just helping yo-" "I never asked you!" Chandni shoots back in anger at what he had done. *** A/N: More than being a good book for the reader, the best outcome I could expect would be giving a wholesome Bharatanatyam experience. *** Standalone.
