"I'm not running from you, Vanya. I'm running from the person I become when I'm with you."
In the silent, oak-lined sectors of elite Chandigarh, seventeen-year-old Ivaan is a ghost in a heritage kothi. He has mastered the art of being invisible while living in a mansion. After a past that left his soul in splinters, he lives by one survival instinct: Never attach. Never break again. >
He only trusts the roar of his GT 650 and the hollow, indigo silence of Dhanas Lake.
But then comes Vanya. A high-society medical student who operates on logic but feels through intuition. She is the golden daughter of a powerful lineage, trapped in a life that feels like a beautiful, oxygen-less vault.
Every time their souls resonate, Ivaan's first instinct is to bolt. The connection is electric, dangerous, and terrifyingly real. But for Ivaan, every step toward her feels like a betrayal of the grief he has nurtured for years. He is terrified that if he stops running, the fragments of his heart will finally cut him to the bone.
She wants to find the pieces. He's afraid to see the whole picture.
A dark, elite aesthetic tale of chronic grief, high-society isolation, and the terrifying beauty of falling apart together.
