"Don't expect anything from me." That's what Aryan Sharma tells Riya Shetty right after the wedding. Short. Heartless. Handsome. He's everything she didn't want - and everything her family insisted she needed. Riya is done pleasing people. If she has to play the perfect wife, she will. But she won't beg for his affection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Riya Shetty - warm-hearted, soft-spoken, and fiercely loyal - works as a teacher and comes from a middle-class South Indian family. Aryan Sharma - cold, sharp, and emotionally locked away - is one of India's most powerful lawyers, born into a high-profile North Indian legacy. In a world where promises are made but hearts stay guarded, Riya dreams of warmth, laughter, and a love worth fighting for. Aryan, cold and distant, wears the scars of a past he can't forget - and a future he doesn't want. When an arranged marriage binds them together, two strangers must navigate years of silence, unspoken desires, and aching loneliness. As walls crumble and truths unravel, will Riya's quiet yearning be enough to thaw Aryan's guarded heart? Or will the shadows of blame and grief pull them further apart? Slow-burn romance. Heartbreak and healing. A love that's not given - but earned.

"There were four of us at home - Dadaji, Dad, Mom... and me. You've met my parents, but not Dadaji yet. I was very pampered since childhood. I was the only child." He sighed dramatically. "My mom always wanted a daughter. But God gave her me." Gauri looked at him. "But don't worry," he added with a playful pout. "She did everything she would've done with a daughter. She made two tiny ponytails on my head. Dressed me in pink frocks. Put cute hair clips in my hair." Gauri couldn't stop a small smile. He narrowed his eyes. "You imagined it, didn't you? I must've looked terrible." "No," she shook her head softly. "You must've looked very cute." "Sure? Or are you just trying to make me feel better?" "I'm telling the truth. I like children. Every baby is beautiful and cute. You must've been cute too... and handsome." The moment the words left her mouth, she froze. Hriday laughed at her embarrassed expression. She quickly stood up, trying to escape inside. But he gently caught her wrist. She stopped. And slowly turned back. "Will you marry me, Gauri?"
