We Were Always Us
Some love stories begin with a confession.
This one began with silence.
Kabir had loved Shalini for years - quietly, patiently, without expecting anything in return. She was his brother's friend, someone he was never supposed to look at that way. So he never said a word.
But love has its own timing.
When Shalini's heart breaks after being rejected by someone she trusted, Kabir is the one who remains beside her - teasing her, challenging her, and slowly breaking the walls she has built around herself.
Shalini has always been strong, intelligent, and guarded. She hides her insecurities behind sarcasm and control, never allowing anyone to see the vulnerable side of her.
Kabir, however, sees everything.
What begins as friendship slowly turns into something deeper - something patient, stubborn, and impossible to ignore.
But love is never simple.
Old wounds, hidden truths, family tensions, and the shadows of the past threaten to pull them apart before they can even understand what they mean to each other.
Because sometimes the most beautiful love stories are the ones that were there all along.
They just needed time to be seen.
