"My name sounds better like that breathless and broken in the back of your throat." π¦’
Arunika once dreamed of building a life of her own finishing her studies, becoming independent, and easing the burdens her middle-class family carried.
But one incident shattered everything she had planned.
To protect her from gossip and give her a secure future, her family hastily arranges her marriage to Adikrit Trivedi, a quiet, self-made man eight years older than her, carrying scars of his own and a life built on routine rather than romance.
Now living as strangers under the same roof, bound by a marriage neither truly understands, they struggle between silence, hesitation, and slowly growing comfort.
Will Arunika ever find safety and love in the man she was forced to marry?
Or will they forever remain two wounded souls sharing a life, but never their hearts?
