Four hundred years ago, beneath a lightning-struck neem tree, two children spoke vows they didn't understand. A princess and a stable boy, playing at marriage, not knowing that some words, spoken in certain places, at certain times, carry weight beyond intention.
The gandharvas were listening. The celestial witnesses recorded it all.
Now, in the 1960s India, a nameless boy appears during monsoon, a boy who knows Maitrey's dreams before she speaks them, who sees the thread that binds them across lifetimes. They have found each other before, century after century, only to be torn apart by families, by society, by a world that refuses to recognise what heaven has already joined.
But this time, they remember. This time, they know the pattern. And this time, they might finally have the courage to claim what was always theirs.
A haunting reimagining of Wuthering Heights set in historical India, ANUBANDHA explores the impossible space between celestial truth and mortal society, between the love we choose and the love that chooses us.
Some bonds cannot be broken. Some vows outlive the bodies that spoke them.
Some stories refuse to end until they are told right.
