"Where the hands go, the eyes follow;
Where the eyes go, the mind follows;
Where the mind is, there goes the expression;
Where the expression is, there goes the emotion."

***

If a practical mind had an embodiment, it would be Chandni. Love just wasn't her cup of tea. Or coffee. Or any other beverage. 

Not even when she's an experienced, expressive Bharatanatyam dancer.

And all she could do was entrust her parents with her love life.

What they do is find her an intriguing guy with mismatched eyes who wants nothing to do with it. He assumes he'd be ruining a girl's life for the sake of an arranged marriage.

And so, she helps him escape. 

In a twist of fate, his attempt to repay her kindness only complicates things further. 

As their worlds collide in a series of chaotic and heartwarming encounters, will their initial clash drive them apart, or spark a love neither of them saw coming? 

Will Chandni's pragmatic heart ever find love?

***

Aakash turned towards Chandni, "I'm just helping yo-"

"I never asked you!" Chandni shoots back in anger at what he had done.

***

A/N: More than being a good book for the reader, the best outcome I could expect would be giving a wholesome Bharatanatyam experience.

It was the only thought that came to her mind. Could he be cheating? Did he loved someone else? But why was he telling all of this now?
