Dedication To everyone who has ever loved someone they weren't supposed to... To the sunshine hearts who laugh too loudly, feel too deeply, and still choose to believe in miracles... To the grumpy souls who build walls high enough to touch the sky, only to crumble when one stubborn ray of light sneaks through... This story is for the ones who bicker like enemies but care like lovers, for the ones who meet at the wrong time yet feel right anyway, for every heartbeat that quickens in an office hallway, for every glance that says what lips are too scared to confess. And most of all- for the people who discover that love may not be perfect, but damn... when it finally arrives, it changes everything. Here's to slow burns, stolen glances, and the kind of love that hits you hard, then harder, then hardest. This one's for you. ❤️ ------------ Riya Sen Age: 24 She's sunshine personified - brings light wherever she goes, even if it annoys Khadoos sir. Adarsh Rathod Age: 29 Stoic, boss energy, every girl low-key crushing but he's got eyes only for one sunshine. ------------ Tropes Enemies to lovers Slow burn Grumpy x Sunshine Boss x Employee Introvert x Ambivert Office Romance Non-Bengali x Bengali Be Careful guy x Clumsy girl Forbidden love He fell first, she fell harder but he fell harder and harder

"This is your fault," she snapped, eyes blazing. "Tumhare drama ke chakkar mein mera exam miss ho jayega." He exhaled slowly, unfazed, like the world wasn't collapsing around them. "Relax, Avni. Ek exam hi toh hai." Avni turned to Abhimanyu so fast it startled even him. "Ek exam? Tumhari life movie ho sakti hai, Abhimanyu Raichand, meri nahi. Main late hone ka luxury afford nahi karti." Abhimanyu scoffed, folding his arms. "You're acting like I planned this." She laughed, sharp and humorless. "You don't have to plan disasters. Tum bas exist karte ho, and things go wrong." For the first time, his jaw tightened. "Careful. Tum mujhe blame kar rahi ho kyunki tum control lose kar rahi ho." Her voice dropped, dangerous and quiet. "Nahi. Main tumhe blame kar rahi hoon kyunki tum hamesha late hote ho... aur logon ko bhi late kar dete ho." --- Abhimanyu x Avni This is not a love story. It's a collision. He's ego, entitlement, and perfectly styled arrogance. She's punctuality, logic, and zero tolerance for nonsense. Their first meeting isn't sparks, it's sparks flying in the wrong direction. Hate at first sight. Sharp words. Sharper glares. Two grumpy souls trapped by circumstance, forced proximity, and one missed train that turns irritation into obsession. --- Tropes:- --- • Strangers to enemies to lovers • Forced proximity (Train miss scenario) • Both grumpy clash • Narcissist and stylish boy x spunky girl • Slow burn romance • Style x Height • Savage romance • Ego clash
