I never thought, in my wildest dream that our paths would cross. Until it happened- he came knocking down on my door. Taking my breath away, as I lost myself in those chocolate brown eyes. We met, we talked, and we said yes. I thought he was handsome but when I actually got to know him- he wasn't just about looks that this world talked about. No. He is truly the gem his name means. Manik Malhotra. A person who'd achieved so much at this young age and still the most down to earth and gorgeous person I've ever come across, and not just his looks. He became mine as I became his. Our waves of love weren't for someone else to hear... it was for us. As we spoke through our eyes. Our smiles and his teasing winks. The shining moon, twinkling stars and the fireflies became the witnesses of our love. Our love roaring in waves enough for just the two of us to hear or feel. They say it was an arranged marriage, decided by our family. I say-- it was a match made by God who knew we will complete each other in every sense.

Nandini is a sweet and innocent girl who moved to New York from India, leaving her dreadful past behind to begin a new life with hope. She had been through so much in her life at such a young age that all she wanted was a normal, peaceful life where no one knew who she was, where she could start and live her life like a normal teenager, and with that, all she wanted was a good college and job. But deep down, she was just a normal, innocent girl who craved love and family, but her fate never allowed her to have those things until her angel came into her life. Manik Malhotra is a profoundly handsome but down-to-earth boy from a wealthy family. His world revolves around his beloved family and his friends. Although he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his hardworking nature and extremely phenomenal personality make him stand out. He is the type of boy that every girl desires to be with, but none could have him because his heart would not allow anyone to come close to him. And, even in this century, he believed what his father once said: "If the girl can't accelerate your heartbeat at the first meeting, she can't be the one." ♡➷♡➹♡ He walked into her life as an angel and filled all the voids in her heart. She was able to experience the love she had always desired because of him. When she saw him, she found herself drowning in his deep chocolate brown eyes, but due to her insecurity and bad experiences in the past, it was difficult for her to accept him and trust his love. On the other hand, when his gaze fell on Nandini, his heartbeat quickened, and he realised at that moment that she was the one. Her innocence and shyness pull him towards her. Even though she wasn't ready to accept him, he didn't leave her, as he knew deep down that she wanted him to be there. So are you ready to witness their journey of love, where not just their hearts but their souls are blended with each other?
