He married her knowing he didn't want to

Siya Malhotra has an inoperable brain tumor and months left to live - a truth she hides from everyone, including the husband she agrees to marry in a match neither of them asked for.
Ekaksh never wanted this marriage. Forced into it by family duty, he walks in cold, distant, resigned to a life he didn't choose.
But Siya doesn't ask for his love. She only asks for peace - addressing him with a quiet, respectful "aap," building walls even as she quietly, unknowingly begins to fall for the man who never wanted her.
As secrets unravel and Ekaksh discovers the truth he was never meant to find, the man who once refused this marriage becomes the one desperately trying to hold on to it.
But some vows are unspoken until it's almost too late to say them at all.
A story of duty turning into devotion, silence turning into love, and two people discovering that some promises are made not with words - but with the choice to stay

💔 A slow-burn arranged marriage romance about love that arrives too late, and the second chances that make up for lost time.
