They were strangers bound by an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. She, a quiet dreamer who had secretly loved him for years. He, a pragmatic man who saw marriage as an obligation, not an emotion. For two years, they lived as roommates - her world revolving around him, and his life quietly orbiting her without realizing it. Until one night, a phone call could have changed everything - if only he had picked up. That night changed her. The woman who once waited for love now wanted freedom. But by the time he finally saw what she meant to him... she was already gone. And some mistakes take years to heal - even if love never really leaves.

A forced marriage. A silent war. A game of distance neither can afford to lose. For a year, Areeba Asfand kept her husband at arm's length- strict rules, cold silences, and separate lives. Rayyan Ahsan let her pretend their marriage was nothing but a contract. Until now. With his parents coming to stay for three months, the illusion shatters. No more distance. No more silence. Now, they must pretend. But the more they fake it, the more blurred the lines become. Because the real danger isn't their families finding out the truth. It's them realizing they don't want to be strangers anymore. ✨ A slow-burn, forced proximity, marriage-of-convenience story filled with tension, longing, and an undeniable pull neither of them can ignore. ✨

"Why are you looking nervous?" Rajiv asked her. "Nothing", Leena replied. "Then why are you moving away from me?" he asked as she matched his steps and walked backward whenever he took a step towards her. "Nothing", she said and came to a halt with the wall behind her. She was trapped between the wall, the counter, and him. He came close to her with his eyes fixed on her full lips. He took her chin in his hand and gently ran a thumb over her moist lips. "Are you afraid of me? Why? I am your husband", he said to her. "Rajiv...", she mumbled as his hand slid down to her waist. "Don't you love me?" he asked her as he pulled her in. "I love you..." she whispered as he kissed her neck. Rajiv and Leena see their happy home life crumble around them from an incident well beyond their control. They separate for 15 years and meet again when their three children, Ravi, Abhi and Kiran have grown up. With their undying love and devotion towards each other, how will Rajiv and Leena fight against all odds and try to bring their family back together and rekindle their feelings and passion for each other.
