What if Arnav didn't make it to the rooftop in time to witness the scene that broke his heart? How will he deal with Khushi's confession? How will their love survive this test?

This story is a re-imagining of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, told from the moment when Khushi meets Shyam on the rooftop terrace during the wedding. Told with one big change, the change I so desperately wish for, every single time I am watching the show.

In this story, Arnav did not see them. And that changes everything.

But does it change for the better?

Whispers of the heart by Hand-picked-star
26 parts Complete Mature
His heart was a fortress, haunted by the warmth he pushed away, scarred by the silence he forced between them, all because he believed she deserved more than the broken pieces he could offer. And, her heart was a battlefield, bruised by all the words he never said and all the love he refused to show. But no walls are unbreakable, and no heart can stay silent forever. Sooner or later, her war would reach his gates, and maybe, just maybe, he'd let her in. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Set in early 20th-century Delhi, it is the tale of Arnav and Khushi, two childhood companions bound by shared trauma and unspoken affection. As they navigated the complexities of societal expectations and pursued personal ambitions, their profound friendship quietly transformed into a love they dared not acknowledge. Amidst the fear of losing each other forever, they must confronted their feelings and weighed the risks of pursuing a future together, where happiness hung delicately in the balance. It is my first attempt at writing fiction. I might be wrong about certain aspects of that age and era, but it's a fantasy, so why not? I don't own Arnav and Khushi, and this story is purely fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. This story is a submission to the 13th Anniversary Arshi Fiesta 2024, according to the moodboard Historical AU on Tumblr.

Previous Title: Ek Dil Ek Jaan What if the terrace scene as we know it never happened? If Arnav would have reached terrace first and confessed his love to Khushi? If Arnav wouldn't have forced Khushi for a contract marriage? If two hearts wouldn't have broken into pieces? Picking up from the terrace scene, this is a take on how the show could have been able to continue without Arnav's mistrust in Khushi and a conventional forced marriage track.
