Yato hastah tato drishṭih| Yato drishṭih tato manah| Yato manah tato bāvah| Yato bāvah tato rasah| "Where the hands go, the eyes follow; Where the eyes go, the mind follows; Where the mind is, there goes the expression; Where the expression is, there goes the emotion." *** If a practical mind had an embodiment, it would be Chandni. Love just wasn't her cup of tea. Or coffee. Or any other beverage. Not even when she's an experienced, expressive Bharatanatyam dancer. And all she could do was entrust her parents with her love life. What they do is find her an intriguing guy with mismatched eyes who wants nothing to do with it. He assumes he'd be ruining a girl's life for the sake of an arranged marriage. And so, she helps him escape. In a twist of fate, his attempt to repay her kindness only complicates things further. As their worlds collide in a series of chaotic and heartwarming encounters, will their initial clash drive them apart, or spark a love neither of them saw coming? Will Chandni's pragmatic heart ever find love? *** Aakash turned towards Chandni, "I'm just helping yo-" "I never asked you!" Chandni shoots back in anger at what he had done. *** A/N: More than being a good book for the reader, the best outcome I could expect would be giving a wholesome Bharatanatyam experience. *** Standalone. Mature language. NOTE: There might be certain scenarios that readers might find controversial. *** 04 / 03 / 2023 : Featured in Wattpad Outreach's "💎 Featured Stories - Best of Outreach Hidden Gems". 28 / 10 / 2025 : Featured in Chicklit's "Diverse Lit". 28 / 10 / 2025 : Featured in Chicklit's "Rom-Com". 28 / 10 / 2025 : Featured in Chicklit's "Ambassador's Picks".

A scandal. A misunderstanding. A decision taken in haste-and Keerti is married off to Professor Agastya Agnivanshi, her own English literature teacher. He's everything she's not: emotionally closed-off, cynical, and a man who sees marriage as nothing more than a social burden. To him, love is weakness. To her, this marriage is a cage. Bound by society's judgment, family's honor, and a twist of fate neither of them saw coming, they are now husband and wife. What starts as a marriage of convenience quickly spirals into a fierce emotional tug-of-war. They argue. They clash. They challenge each other at every step. They are enemies under the same roof-until the fire between them begins to burn in a different way. Meanwhile, in this turbulent world, Mrunal Tripathi, Keerti's best friend, brings color and chaos. Her dreams of becoming an IPS officer are bold, loud, and full of heart. But her free spirit often stirs the very discipline Keerti clings to-reminding everyone that life doesn't always follow rules. And then there's Tej Pratap Singh, the young economics professor whose belief in structure is shaken by the spontaneity of people like Mrunal. As her laughter invades his quiet world, another story brews in the background.

Neel Agarwal was four years older than Aisha. Mature, composed, and terrifyingly calm. The topper. The disciplined one. The boy who believed emotions were distractions. Except when it came to her. Aisha Agarwal the clumsy, bright, over-smiling girl who walked into his life and turned it upside down. She trusted him blindly, fought with him like a child, and depended on him for everything... not knowing he loved her in a way he could never say out loud. For Aisha, Neel was safe. For Neel, Aisha was a weakness. But Aisha's heart beats for someone else. Shikhar. Her college classmate. Loud. Dominating. The "gunde-type" guy everyone feared but she loved. Protective in his own dangerous way. The kind of boy who fights first and thinks later. And Neel hated the way Shikhar held her hand so casually. Hated the way she smiled at him. Hated himself for not being enough. Neel is older. He knows better. He understands consequences. Shikhar doesn't. When possessiveness clashes with patience, when love fights ego, and when Aisha stands between two completely different worlds the calm storm and the raging fire who will she choose? The boy who silently built her dreams? Or the one who loudly claims her heart? A story about silent love, dangerous attraction, jealousy, and the painful truth that sometimes being the "right" person doesn't mean being the chosen one.

But when her father forces her into an arranged marriage to clean up the family's scandals, she finds herself bound to a man who is everything she swore to avoid. Lakshay Malhotra has built his empire on control, logic, and ruthless ambition. Marriage was never in his plans-until an irresistible opportunity landed at his feet.

She's his wife on paper, nothing more. He's her last mistake, or so she tells herself. But in a game where power and passion collide, the hardest rule to follow is the one that forbids them from falling in love.
