She was a student who believed in freedom. He was a professor who worshipped discipline. They had nothing in common-except the one thing they couldn't escape: marriage. Aarohi Pandey, bold, brilliant, and unapologetically rebellious, never imagined her future would be tied to the man she despised most-her arrogant Biology professor, Aashutosh Kulkarni. He was everything she hated: serious, rigid, and too full of himself. She was everything he couldn't stand: impulsive, loud, and always late. But when their families force them into a marriage neither of them wanted, they strike a deal-live as strangers for one year, then part ways. No feelings. No expectations. No strings. But life under the same roof begins to blur lines. Between shared silences and stolen glances, between jealousy and unspoken care, love begins to bloom where hate once grew. Will they hold on to their pride-or surrender to the feelings they never planned to have?

" karthik please meri bat suno yar.... " chup ho jao Ridhima....I beg you please be silent " my eyes turned disbelief and it hurts the man who used to listen to me with his whole heart now begging me to not utter a word. I didn't say anything, because I knew nothing would change. Before I realized, we were already at my parents' house. Stopping the car, he got out, came to my side, and opened the door. "Karthik, please... ek baar. Just once, hear me out," I pleaded, but his expression didn't change. Suddenly, he lifted me out of the car. "Andar jao, Ridhima. Aur us ghar mein kabhi pair mat rakhna." He put me down making me shake my head as my voice stopped for the word I was going to speak. Saying this, he left. "Is this the end?" I asked myself in disbelief as my vision blurred from the unstoppable tears.
