She for him was a faded memory He for her was the privileged one She was very vocal about her hatred He was equally hesitant to show his love They were not lovers.. They were siblings bonded by blood and separated by a choice their parents made ----------- There are times in life when you make a choice..sometimes making a choice is pretty simple for the options in front are either BLACK or WHITE but when the options to choose from are all GREY, that's when complication settle in and life turns messy ----------- You might think that you've got it all sorted but then one day out of nowhere life leaves you on a CROSSROAD where you have to make a choice..a choice that might put a question mark over the believes you've lived with, a choice that might evoke thousands of emotions in your head and heart, a choice that might turn your life upside down..But then you gotta make the choice..and sometimes the choices made in those moments define the rest your life..!!

They say finding true love at nineteen is a blessing. Or so they thought until they believed in their love. But some people are really unlucky without any apparent fault of theirs. Manik Malhotra came in a similar category. Eight years later, when they met again, at their college reunion, love was bound to reignite. Or was it? Join Manik Malhotra and Nandini Murthy in their journey of finding love, throwing it away, changing drastically and then their strive to reclaim it.

Previously known as 'THERE FOR EACH OTHER' "And when my eyes fell on you, I realised that all I ever needed in life, To flourish and to bloom, Was you". Nandini Murthy isn't someone too keen about love because well, responsibilities, or maybe she uses that as a shield to stay away from love. She had never gotten her heart broken before, but the fear of love, is still firm in her heart. Manik Malhotra is too keen to love. Fairy tales and romantic comedies are his to go to escape. He wants to feel every damn emotion love brings with it. But does the Dawn and Dusk ever coexist?

Beshert: Meant to be Kishkes: the gut feeling, the voice of your heart. "Not every story with a girl meeting a boy is about falling in love. Sometimes it's about finding your own self. Sometimes it's about them being the streetlight on an otherwise dark road of your life. And Sometimes, they just aren't ready to find each other in that way, so they don't. But if it's 'Beshert' and your 'Kishkes' tells you so, the story might end with a kiss" Completed. All copyrights preserved!

Disclaimer : It is Majorly a PreRish story. When Prerna Sharma fell in love, she hoped about roses and forgot the thorns. She saw the world through rose tinted glasses and forgot that it was an illusion. She dreamt of fairytales and forgot life's reality. Maybe, that's why her love became another name for sacrifice. She sacrificed herself, and married Rishabh Bajaj, in return of her love, Anurag's life. When Anurag Basu fell in love, he took his own sweet time to realise the same because he never believed in a concept as cliche as love. But Prerna's free spirit and non stop talks drew him to her soul and they fell in soul stirring love, the one their destiny didn't support. Maybe that's why his love became another name for the betrayal he received when Prerna married someone else. When Rishabh Bajaj married Prerna, he wasn't looking for love in his life, he was looking for love in his daughter's life, but somewhere down the road, he fell in love with his daughter's mother, and her goodness. He didn't know if he would have a happy end, if his wife would ever love him back, but he knew he had the courage to love her through the thick and thins even if she didn't reciprocate. When Snigdha Mallik had walked into Basu group of industries, she was seeking a job, and ended up finding love. She knew the man she loved, loved someone else. She saw Anurag pining for her everyday, but that didn't resolve her own feelings. They just continued to grow deeper. She didn't know if Anurag would ever see her love, or feel it, but she knew that she would hold his hand through whatever obstacle he needs her to. A love saga, trying to find a logic and respect for the characters of Indian Television Series, Kasautii Zindagi Kay!
