A slow burn romance based on the show of Khushi and Arnav turning a new leaf at New Years.

Two lives. Two continents. Five years. One unfinished story. He built a place of comfort- warmth he eventually learned to give. She built a name in Delhi- colors she refused to forget. Then the phone rang. Now he's on a plane, watching clouds swallow the sky. She's in a hospital corridor, watching monitors track heartbeats. In a few hours, the door will be pushed open. And everything will begin again. ----- A continuation for those who remember them from ❝Kaash Mohabbat Na Hote❤️‍🩹❞... and a beginning for those meeting them for the first time.

Katha was only 25 when she chose her daughter over her husband. Vedant wanted a son. When Vedika was born, he withdrew-never holding her, never celebrating her, never seeing her as more than a burden. So Katha did what generations of women were told not to- she divorced him. She left. She walked away from silence, from a loveless marriage, and from a house that never saw her daughter. She returned home to Kashi, hoping to rebuild something soft, safe, and loving for Vedika. What she didn't expect... was Rudraksh Thakur. Her first love. Her ex boyfriend. The boy who broke her. Now a man who won't stop fighting to earn her back. Where Vedant failed, Rudraksh rises. As a father to Vedika. As a lover to Katha. Because no matter what time took from him-she was always his. But after everything.. he did to her in the past... Will Katha be able to give him a second chance? Will Katha let herself be loved again-by the man who once shattered her? **** "Rudraksh... I have a daughter..." Katha whispered against his lips. His hand slid to her bare waist beneath the saree, pulling her closer, his lips brushing against her neck. Slowly, he began to kiss her there. She gasped, but he didn't stop. "No, Katha..." he murmured, voice low and certain. "Vedika is our daughter." Tropes: • Single Mother x First love • Second Chances • Obsessive but Soft Hero • Small Town / Kashi Romance • Old school Romance
