"My name sounds better like that breathless and broken in the back of your throat." 🦢 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?

Quiet protection. A presence that felt like home when the world felt too sharp. She was loved. But love does not erase everything. And being protected does not mean being untouched by pain. Some silences stay too long. Some truths arrive too early. Some burdens are never meant for a child. So she learned to endure. To smile softly. To speak less. To carry hurt without letting it show. Warmth became her instinct. Quiet strength, her shield. Then she stepped into a house ruled by power. A family built on authority and discipline, where emotions were controlled and warmth was never taught. At its center stood a man shaped by shadows- respected in light, feared in darkness. His past was buried deep, But it was never gone. Around him stood sons who had been raised to command. Composed. Unyielding. Dangerous in their silence. She did not arrive to change them. She did not come to heal anyone. She arrived carrying love and loss, warmth learned from care, Strength born from survival. And sometimes- That kind of warmth is the most dangerous thing of all. ✨ Can someone who has known both comfort and cruelty survive a world built on control? ✨ Will softness last where emotions are considered weakness? ✨ Wh
