They were married too young, unprepared for life... and for each other. They were young, reckless, and in love-but life tore them apart. Krutika Mehta and Mayank Malhotra thought their story was over.
Four years later, fate forces them together again.
Cold glances, curt words, and tense silences fill their days-but some connections refuse to stay buried. As old feelings surface and walls begin to crumble, Mayank notices the fear Krutika tries so hard to hide.
And he won't look away.
When walls begin to fall, one undeniable truth emerges:
some love never truly dies.
~•~
"You're scared," Mayank said, his voice low but sharp.
"I'm not," Krutika whispered, flinching slightly.
"Don't lie to me," he said, stepping closer.
"I can see it-in your hands, in your eyes. You're terrified."
"We... we can't, we are divorc-" she tried to protest, but her voice faltered.
"I don't care what we are on paper," he said, softening but keeping his intensity. "I want to take care of you. I WILL take care of you. That's all that matters to me."
~•~
Some walls are harder to break than others.
Some love refuses to let go.
Can they face the past and the fear that kept them apart... before it's too late?
