Saira Vaidya. Twenty-six. IFS Officer, a professional diplomat who learned at an early age that love is earned, presence is earned- that you cannot simply exist in someone's life, you must justify it. Or so it was, until fate intertwined her story, quietly and beautifully, through the pretext of an arranged marriage, with Aadhrit Raichand - her own best friend's elder cousin. Aadhrit Raichand. Twenty-nine. CEO, who understood early that when he panics, they panic. He cannot afford that. So he learned to be the calm. Always. No matter what. Two people who had mastered the art of needing no one. One arranged marriage that disagreed. A family of overenthusiastic, hopelessly hopeful romantics. And one quiet becoming - of a marriage, of two people, of everyone around them. A soft, healing story, of the becoming of a "just feels right" marriage to "My existence is incomplete without her."
