"In every room I enter, I am looking for a ghost. In every face I kiss, I am searching for a memory."
Part I: The Gaze
Anita sees it all. As the campus beauty, she's used to being watched-but her own eyes are fixed on Arjun Khurana, the man who treats the world like it's beneath him. Yet, even the sharpest edges can be blunted. Anita watches in silence as Arjun's arrogance falters before one person: Madhav Singh. One is a storm, the other is the sun, and the collision is inevitable.
But when the sun vanishes, only the wreckage remains.
Part II: The Reflection
Five years later, the halls of the university are colder. Arjun is no longer the student-he is the master of the room, a man who has perfected the art of being untouchable. Until the past walks back through the door, wearing a wedding ring and a life that doesn't include him.
Now, a new girl stands in the crossfire. Garima is quiet, anxious, and dangerously familiar. Arjun draws her into his orbit, playing a game where the rules are written in trauma and the prize is a lie.
Some loves are a sanctuary. Others are a slow-acting poison.
