Stuti Sharma, a genius topper, new transfer student who makes great friends and a undeniable bond with class clown and topper, Kartik Malhotra in her first year only. They were the famous ship of the class who were 'Just Freinds' according to them, until he is drawn away by the beauty of a new girl and ruined the bond.
"Our connection was a hymn, until he traded SOUL for SURFACE."
"She was the hymn I stopped listening to, and now the silence is deafening. I have everything I thought I wanted, but I'd give it all back for one more 'Stu'."
In the first year, Stuti and Kartik were a slow-burning melody. To Kartik, "Stu" was the girl who understood his silence, the girl whose soul felt like home. But when a new standard brings a girl whose beauty is impossible to ignore, Kartik makes a choice that shatters the hymn forever.
He chose the trophy. He chose the "Pick-Me" girl. He chose the surface.
For an entire year, Stuti watched from the sidelines as he chased a girl who didn't care for his heart. But while Kartik was busy looking for beauty in all the wrong places, Stuti was building a palace out of her own ruins. She stopped giving him her silence. She stopped giving him her light. She simply... rose.
Now, four years after the first sparkle, Kartik finally realizes that the beauty he was chasing was empty, and the soul he left behind was his only destiny. But he's six months too late, and Stuti isn't the girl who waits anymore.
Will Kartik prove he can be the man Stuti deserves, or has their destiny finally run out of time?
Will Stuti let him in her world again, or she has no hopes from him for their future destiny?
Stuti's Pov:
"He traded my gold for her glass. Four years later, he's ready to beg."
Kartik's Pov:
"I chose the surface because it was easy to see, but I lost the soul that was the only thing worth looking."
