Before college begins, Shraddha and Abhay are tied together by a secret - an arranged marriage neither wanted but both must live. Shraddha, a bold and vibrant Tamil Brahmin girl with a love for dance and literature, steps into Mumbai's bustling university carrying the weight of tradition and a heart full of silent dreams. Abhay, her charismatic senior and a second-year literature student from a wealthy business family, is everything she isn't - confident, reckless, and untouchable to everyone but her. Bound by vows whispered in secrecy, they navigate a campus where they are strangers in public and something much more behind closed doors. As their worlds collide - rich and orthodox, modern and rebellious - they learn that love doesn't always come in loud declarations. Sometimes, it is written in quiet verses and stolen moments. _____ "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." _____ Will their vows confine them, or will the verses they write together set them free? ⸻ TROPES: Secret Marriage Senior × Junior College Heartthrob × New Student Enemies to Lovers (Slow-Burn) Grumpy × Bold (with a twist) Culture Clash North Indian × South Indian Literature Nerds × Silent Pining ______ Hashtags #SecretMarriage #ArrangedMarriage #CollegeRomance #EnemiesToLovers #SlowBurn #WattpadIndia #DesiLoveStory #GrumpyxBold #SeniorJunior #IndianRomance #NorthXSouth Highest Ranking: #66 in #WattpadIndia #58 in #WattpadIndia #53 in #wattpadindia #51 in #wattpadindia #7 in #wattpadlovestory #141 in #collegeromance #7 in #wattpadlovestory #5 in #wattpadlovestory #2 in #cultureclash #2 in #poeticlove

Devansh X Nisha --------------‐‐--------------------------------------------------------- "Because... he's weirdly hot. And I've decided to keep you and him far away from each other." "Why?" "Because you're soft and he's emotionally constipated. Recipe for destruction." ********************************************** Riaan followed his gaze. "Ohhh. Nisha. Khushi's best friend. She's staying with the bride's side." Dev's brows barely moved. "She always... like that?" "Like what?" *********************************************** He tilted his head. "Devansh. But you can call me Dev." Her throat went dry for a second. She offered a polite smile. "Nisha. Though I guess you already knew that." *********************************************** Uff, you didn't even tell me you'd arrived. I had to ask your mom. Were you hiding from me?" Dev's jaw tensed. He didn't answer. He tried pulling his arm back, but Anaya held tighter. "Hi," she said to Nisha with a fake laugh. "I'm Dev's fiancée. *********************************************** "Nisha," I said softly, following her toward the garden. She didn't turn. "Please don't walk away from me." Dev, I'm not a side story. I'm not a secret. I'm not someone who waits for her moment to be chosen. *********************************************** He looked wounded. But I couldn't stop. You left the wedding early," he finally said. "Exams." "And no goodbye?" I paused. Turned to him. "You didn't stop me." *********************************************** Arjun scoffed. "So now you come with poetry and a designer watch and expect us to clap?" I looked him dead in the eye. "No. I come with a ring." --------------------‐---------------------------------------------------- Join Devansh and Nisha' s story to know what happened ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂)⸝♡
