This is an arshi fanfic but not by me. It is the first one I read long ago. The original writer of this beautiful fiction is Jalebi Jane and her website is or used to be Maya Hill. I can't access her blog anymore. The story is only available on Indian Forums which I'm finding inconvenient to read. I'm creating a wattapad version of it so that I can easily read and enjoy this story all over again.

Where do you find a love so potent, it crosses the boundaries of distance and time itself?

ये इश्क़ नहीं आसान बस इतना समझ लीजिये, एक आग का दरिया है और डूब के जाना है. Yeh ishq nahi aasaan, bas itna samajh lee jiye
Ek aag ka darya hain, Aur doob ke jaana hain (This love is not easy one needs to understand, it is an ocean of fire and you can only drown in it to cross it) ---------------------------- AN ARSHI FANFIC - Picking up from the night of the contract marriage this will be a tale of passion, deception and unbreakable resolve. Will the fire between them burn away the lies, or will silence become their undoing? I don't own the characters of Arnav, Khushi & others and this story is fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead or actual events is purely coincidental.

In this eight part series, we see the protagonists Arnav and Khushi going on a journey to the beautiful Himalayan town of Nainital after a marriage under duress. What starts out as a business trip for this star crossed pair turns into an adventure that helps them shed their inhibitions. This would require a reader to have watched the show Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon until the marriage.

When Arnav forced Khushi into a contract marriage, he hadn't fully realized the agony he was subjecting himself for the next six months. Love and Hate, both equal in their intensity, surged in his heart for the same one person. How could a human possibly exist with that kind of battle in their very soul? Until one day, the veil lifts. He sees not a young adulterous woman chasing a married man, but a vile predator harassing an unwilling victim. His decision turns out to have been not so much cold-blooded as hot-headed. And he has hurt his wife terribly, perhaps one time too many. With the truth laid bare between them, Arnav finds himself finally making a sensible plan to get rid of Shyam, and more importantly - win Khushi back. - An IPKKND in - universe story.

As their worlds collide, Khushi is thrust into a life under the unforgiving glare of the public eye, bringing about a fierce protectiveness in Arnav that surprises even him.

This is a fanfiction based on Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? set in an alternate universe. Story, concept and everything else except the characters' names belong to me. That said, I do like to include elements and references from the show here and there and in those cases complete credit to the makers. Please do not copy.

Arranged marriage was an age-old story that Khushi, the youngest of the infamous Gupta family, who revolutionized and dominated the trading market for generations, knew well. For it was the only thing she heard growing up. But that neither prepared her nor comforted her as she got ready that morning. It was an important day, a day where she would trade her surname for a new one, her silence for a new chance, her respect for a new hope, her life for another. It was a day of contracts, both new and old. As she hid behind the traditional red shawl, knowing that the whole world would be watching her, waiting to pounce, she wondered why her mother never told her about any of the good marriages. The ones that worked out. The ones that had hope. The ones that had love. Probably because they don't exist, Khushi thought to herself. Only, destiny had believed otherwise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a stand alone story that has no connection with the original show, Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon, except for the names of the lead characters.
