I have always taken that just as a quote but today I figured out the reality behind this simple sentence as I stand bereft of my love who sought someone else. ____________________________ Love is blind, they say, and in the case of Khushi Gupta, love had blinded her to find the courage to live through the heartbreak and the agony which her love had put her through. Follow Khushi Gupta in her journey to find her true love when the man she had trusted with her everything had turned his back to her and a stranger tethers her soul to the land of mortals; a stranger who shares the name of the one who had sinned against her- Arnav. Will his name stop her from naming her feelings or accepting his concern or will true love win amidst the darkness?
