A story set in the late 1980s, of a young love blooming in the lively city of Hyderabad. It was an era when the city was still learning to embrace change-when even a fleeting glance between Nawabs and Rajputs could ignite a collision. In the hush of the city's nights, two hearts found each other. Though separated by miles, they met every night, cloaked in disguise and hidden behind the veils of darkness. ROOH MALIK The daughter of Nawabs, living in the heart of the Nawabs' place-Yakutpura. This place itself was a resemblance of calmness and grace. Being a Nawab herself, Rooh embodied everything we call grace and purity. Polite yet mischievous, calm yet speaking of chaos. Then she fell in love with the man she was meant to hate with all her heart. PRATEEK KASHYAP The son of Rajputs, living in the embrace of Himayatnagar, the place where even mornings were disciplined. Raised among rules and order, Prateek was everything but chaos. The words he spoke were either filled with love or reform. He had only one rule-to never fall for the Nawab's traps, which were meant to destroy him. Yet, he fell. Will their love be accepted, or will they become another symbol of broken ties?

Since ancient times, a woman's life has been likened to a river. She is born in one place, often unnamed, and flows forward-not by choice, but by circumstance. Along her path, she nourishes all she touches. She gives, but is rarely held. In the end, she reaches the ocean-not as a retreat, but as a return. For the ocean has always waited for her-quiet, vast, eternal. Some poets say it is her destiny; others believe it is the love she was always denied-an ardent longing that defines her journey.

"Fine, but if I find out that you hid them from me I swear to the fucking devil I'll eat your heart." "The children David!" "Freaking devil. Find them!" He looked back over to Veronica. "Who is she anyway?" "V-veronica," she stuttered out. He gave a half-hearted snort, "That's a pretty name. Sorry if I scared you." He walked past them and the tail of his black trench coat brushed her leg. She could smell a musky cologne and cigarette smoke from the breeze that followed him. A few seconds later, after Max had run out of breath from apologizing, she could hear a motorcycle engine roar to life. It was then, right then at that moment, that she knew God did exist.
