She falls first. But he falls harder.
She remembers him, but does he?
Told across three timelines - when she's 13, then 17, and finally 21 - this is the story of two childhood friends and neighbors turned something else entirely.
She's the eldest daughter in a house that keeps forgetting to love her.
Lonely, quiet, and surviving more than anyone knows, she hides her bruises behind sarcasm and sleeves.
He's the golden boy next door - eldest son, all charm and chaos, raised in the warmth of a family that hugs first and asks questions later.
But even sunshine has shadows. And he's got more than he lets on.
As fate - and faith - throw them into each other's orbit, sparks fly, secrets untangle, and hearts collide in ways neither of them saw coming.
This is her story. A semi-autobiographical, raw, messy, funny, deeply Desi rom-com with emotional gut-punches, stolen moments, wedding disasters, a quiet return to faith, religious rebirth, and chai that burns just right.
💔 It's not a love story between perfect people. It's a story about hurting and healing, about choosing softness anyway - and learning to trust God when love alone isn't enough.
