Before college begins, Shraddha and Abhay are tied together by a secret - an arranged marriage neither wanted but both must live. Shraddha, a bold and vibrant Tamil Brahmin girl with a love for dance and literature, steps into Mumbai's bustling university carrying the weight of tradition and a heart full of silent dreams. Abhay, her charismatic senior and a second-year literature student from a wealthy business family, is everything she isn't - confident, reckless, and untouchable to everyone but her. Bound by vows whispered in secrecy, they navigate a campus where they are strangers in public and something much more behind closed doors. As their worlds collide - rich and orthodox, modern and rebellious - they learn that love doesn't always come in loud declarations. Sometimes, it is written in quiet verses and stolen moments. _____ "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." _____ Will their vows confine them, or will the verses they write together set them free? ⸻ TROPES: Secret Marriage Senior × Junior College Heartthrob × New Student Enemies to Lovers (Slow-Burn) Grumpy × Bold (with a twist) Culture Clash North Indian × South Indian Literature Nerds × Silent Pining ______ Hashtags #SecretMarriage #ArrangedMarriage #CollegeRomance #EnemiesToLovers #SlowBurn #WattpadIndia #DesiLoveStory #GrumpyxBold #SeniorJunior #IndianRomance #NorthXSouth Highest Ranking: #66 in #WattpadIndia #58 in #WattpadIndia #53 in #wattpadindia #51 in #wattpadindia #7 in #wattpadlovestory #141 in #collegeromance #7 in #wattpadlovestory #5 in #wattpadlovestory #2 in #cultureclash #2 in #poeticlove

Two names. Two empires. Two storms that never crossed paths-until now. Aarohi Vashisht and Shaurya Shekhawat rule the business world from opposite ends, each a force of their own-witty yet warm, gentle yet chaotic, charming yet unapologetically grumpy. Alone, they are power. Together, they are chaos wrapped in elegance. But when circumstances pull these relentless souls into each other's orbit, the clash isn't just about boardrooms and deals-it's about hearts, histories, and the shadows of a past best left buried. In a world where love is tangled with pain, trust is fragile, and the past is never truly gone, they'll discover that sometimes the greatest battles are fought within. And sometimes... family is the only anchor that keeps you from drifting away. "Echoes of Whisper" - a tale of love, loss, broken hearts, and the unshakable bonds that survive even the fiercest storms. ~ahwrts - Every whisper I write is meant to become your echo.
