Satvik : "I hate you... for being too perfect to be mine." Apoorva freezes. For a moment, the air between them is unbearably still. Her eyes search his face, unsure if it's anger, pain, or something else speaking. Satvik looks away, jaw tight, as if every word costs him something. Satvik : "You were never supposed to matter this much."
Satvik Khanna and Apoorva Shukla are bitter academic rivals and have a reputation for being a genius - and hating each other's guts. Every award is a struggle, every encounter a quiet war. But when a national fellowship requires cooperative effort, the university's two finest minds must form an uneasy alliance. Sarcasm leads into sparks, and with competition the lines start to bleed into something more. But when walls come down and secrets are revealed, the question remains for them both. As deadlines close in and old insecurities rise, the two academic titans must confront the one question they've never dared to ask: Is it possible to fall for the one person you were trained to defeat?
