Some souls are born with an unseen tie binding them together. Even if they choose to stray far away, even if they choose not to recognize those ties, fate has a way of pulling them back together. Despite having miles between them, at the oddest of times, they might find themselves slammed together with a force they cannot reckon. And such a tie was what bonded Aakash and Neelima. Damaged was what described Aakash the best. Embittered with life, love and relationships, he was the typical flamboyant, rich, and supposedly spoilt brat, that decent girls like Neelima were taught to hate. Only that she couldn't. No matter how much she tried to resist, she found herself falling for his rakish charm, unsure if his heart would ever beat in sync with hers. PS: This novel is an adaption of my fanfiction with the same name. *Slow updates* *Do not copy*

We the shippers of samaina wants to know how are our writer and readers in their real world . let's see :->

What's a normal Indian girl's life? Doting parents, a lighthearted family, acing in a few subjects, pursuing her dream career, finding love, a loving new family and a small world of her own. Relaxing on a recliner at the end of the day, with her hands intertwined with the man she loves as they cherish precious memories. Naina Agarwal. The girl who had dreamt of these but embraced a contrasting reality. Filled with obliteration without the slightest bit of ostentation. A path forced to embark, with wilted roses and a thousand thorns. Buried under compulsion, torn by fate. Wrapped by a barbaric blanket of darkness, she knew her heart had no room for emotions; not even love. Or was there?

Sameer is a flamboyant, rich and supposedly spoilt brat. Naina is the quintessential good girl. The story is set in the 90s. But what if the same story had a twist? What if the characters acted as we'd never expected them to? What if school was just a stage-setter and their story began when they moved away from the confines of their home, to a college in Mumbai? Naina had been smitten by him since day one, but seemingly decided against loving a depraved boy like him. Of course because he smokes, he drinks incessantly, he's rude, he's arrogant and supposedly a womanizer. Sameer can't stand her- the teacher's pet, the one responsible for falsely accusing him of theft in school, and leaving him bereft of his mother's presence in life. Yet his eyes always seem to wander over to her, to explore her, and when another of their classmates- Sanjay Tibrewal enters, Sameer is visibly piqued at his proximity with Naina. What if destiny decides to bring them closer? How would their bitter-sweet relationship turn out? Would Naina and Sameer fall in love with each other as was expected? Or does fate have other plans for their love-hate-love story? Cover credits: @RRao_13
