Avanti Narayan is a textbook shrew. That's kind of a basic requirement when she spends six days a week sautéing prawns in garlic butter, laying cream-coated beans in between sheets of vegetarian lasagna, or even stewing mushroom soup until her natural curls frizz to death. Growing up, she had a reputation for being too intimidating for her own good, and making it as the sous-chef of a restaurant catering to the snobbiest section of Delhi's elite has only cemented that tag. She rarely bothered about it until her arranged marriage dates started stinking with rejections. 

Gaurav Pandita needs to grow a pair. Being scarred three months ago with the love of his life cheating on him was bad enough, but a viral video of his drunken breakdown destroyed what was left of his dignity. And his career. Soft-boy wimp isn't exactly suitable for his brand as a men's lifestyle influencer. So when opportunity presents itself to tame the biggest shrew in town and regain his chad male status, he clicks on it before more trolls can trend beta simp.  

~.~

A tale as old as time. A song that rarely rhymes. Barely even friends. Wait for her to bend. 

This wedding season, the shrew meets her match.

"Rudra Malhotra naam toh suna hoga ?" Rudra is the epitome of charisma-outgoing, charming, and unabashedly playful. He has an infectious laugh and a quick wit that makes him the life of the party. His flirty nature often leads to playful banter and spontaneous adventures. Despite his carefree attitude, there is an underlying complexity to his personality; his charm often masks an inherent loneliness stemming from unresolved heartbreak. His laughter is often a façade to cover the pain of his past. "Never trust a man with desire" Ruhanika Mehra is short-tempered and strong-headed, not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself. She is determined and driven, always wanting to achieve her goals and dreams. However, she also has a soft side to her, especially when it comes to her loved ones. She can be fiercely protective and caring towards them. ""Rooh!" The silence was deafening. No response, no movement. I snapped open my eyes, scanning the room frantically. That's when I saw it - the bloodstain on the bed sheet. My mind reeled as memories of last night flooded back. "Rudra, make me yours." Ruhanika's whispered plea echoed in my mind. "You complete me, Rooh." My own words haunted me. I clutched my head, feeling like I was losing my grip on reality. Where was she? I spun around, my gaze locking onto the dressing table mirror. A note was stuck to the glass. I snatched it, my hands trembling. "We can't be together." Ruhanika. I stared blankly at the note, my mind reeling. Why would Ruhanika leave without a word? What will happen when a girl who never believed in love and a boy who always craved for true love will collide with each other in such circumstances which forced them hate each other at first sight but still they can't deny the attraction,lust and desperation towards each other ?

"I don't love you," I declare, my voice steady but my resolve wavering. He smiled at me, though his expression was tinged with pain, tears pooling in the depths of his eyes. "I knew it, you still love me so much." I was rendered speechless by his declaration, my efforts to conceal my emotions proving futile as he effortlessly deciphered the truth written in my eyes. "Say it, just once, that you love me, my Sweetheart. Just once, please," he pleaded. I finally surrendered, tears misting my own eyes as all rational thoughts scattered, "I love you. I never stopped loving you." "And I love you infinitely more," he declared, leaning closer towards my lips. I placed a trembling hand over his mouth, halting him in his tracks, and shook my head slowly. "We can't. It's wrong. We can't betray our partners." *** Two hearts, torn apart by the cruel hand of fate, find themselves face to face after 4 long years. Once college sweethearts, they have now transformed into business partners. People have come and gone, circumstances have shifted, choices have been made, and personalities have evolved.
