THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HATE Ishvika Roy has two problems. The first is that she has a habit of turning every peaceful situation into complete chaos. The second? Samay Rawat. He is quiet, strict, annoyingly handsome, and absolutely impossible to read. Unfortunately for Ishvika, he isn't just the man she keeps accidentally bumping into, arguing with, and embarrassing herself in front of. He's her professor. And as if that wasn't bad enough, fate has decided to make things even worse- They become accidental flatmates. Now, the man who barely tolerates her existence has to see her every single day, outside the classroom, without the safety of professional boundaries to hide behind. She talks too much. He hates unnecessary conversations. She thrives on chaos. He worships silence. She loves getting on his nerves. He has the patience of a saint-until she pushes the wrong button. They call it hate. But when living under the same roof starts blurring the lines between irritation and attraction, one question remains- How long can they keep pretending it's nothing but hate? Because sometimes, the strongest emotions don't begin with love. Sometimes, they begin with the person you can't stand.

Left the safehouse minutes before we reached. Almost like... someone warned her." Piya didn't flinch. She poured him coffee with a calm he didn't question. "Maybe she's lucky," she said. He stepped closer. "No. It's not luck. She moves like someone's guiding her." A beat. "Or protecting her." Her phone buzzed in her pocket - one vibration. Atasha was safe. Piya looked up at him. His eyes were on her - sharp, searching. "Then maybe you need to stop thinking like a cop..." She smiled softly. "...and start thinking like a woman who has nothing left to lose." Their eyes locked. Long. Quiet. Dangerous. Ikshit stepped closer - invading her space. Testing something he couldn't name. "And what kind of woman are you, Piya?" His voice dropped to a murmur. She didn't back away. "The kind who hides the truth behind a kiss," she whispered, kissing him. And when he kissed her - hard, desperate, confused. She was kissing him back. Knowing full well... He was chasing her best friend. While falling in love with the enemy.

˖𓈒⋆｡˚ Rudra × Aarohi ˖𓈒⋆｡˚ ⟡ imperfectly perfect together ⟡ 🌸When destiny weaves two imperfect souls into one perfect story. This isn't the story you've read a hundred times .. where the charming boy falls for the pretty girl. This one's different. It's slower - yet passionate. Softer - yet fierce. Messier - yet real. Two imperfect souls - one with walls, the other with wounds - cross paths not by choice, but by something deeper... Destiny, maybe. It's not love at first sight. It's a feeling that grows in silence, in glances, in small unspoken things. A story of raw passion, of hearts that stumble, heal, and find their way back to each other - imperfectly perfect. If you crave a story that feels real - an arranged marriage slow-burn that unfolds with emotion, chaos, and quiet tenderness - then this story will feel like home. 💫 ꕤ Tropes that breathe inside this story ꕤ ˙⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆˙ • CEO × Government exam aspirant • mr. logical × ms. overthinker • mr. perfect × ms. clumsy • stoic soul × emotional heart • realist × dreamer • order × chaos • silent thinker × nervous talker • calm storm × restless breeze • cold coffee × warm chai • the one who doesn't believe in love × the one who still hopes for it • he hides his feelings × she can't hide hers • sharp mind × soft heart • ego × empathy • "i don't do love" × "but i still believe in it" ˙⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆˙
