Hello everyone! I had always wanted to write a historical tale based in ancient India, also known as Bharatavarsh. The period in which this story is set is somewhere around the Vedic Era (1500-1000 BCE), which is the period when the Vedas (the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism) were composed. To maintain the authenticity of the story, some words and terminologies will be used from traditional languages. Please give your valuable feedback and let me know what you think of this story.

❝The freedom I thought I had was nothing but an open cage - one he had built just for me.❞ ╼╾ Sanjana. An obedient girl to her parents with high moral values and a shining dream in her eyes to fulfil all her wishes one day. All she wants is to be an independent woman, earn her own bread, gift her parents a comfortable future and be with the love of her life forever. Forever ~ the word seems celestially cursed for her. ╼╾ The love of her life is a deceiver! Not what he appears to be. He is a territorial and egotistical rich man having an extremely contrasting mentality with her who wants nothing but a docile wife. He forces her into marriage but fate has some unexpected twists for the girl! She has an obsessive stalker... A stalker who would turn the world upside down to keep her to him. A man who had watched, waited, and shaped her life from the darkness. She was never meant to be "just a wife." She was meant to be his. He only needed one thing -her existence, bound to him forever and at any cost. ╼╾ When devotion turns into destruction - will she survive Vedant's darkness, or will she drown in it? ╼╾ ● The story will contain violence, abuse, self-harm, use of alcohol, mature scenes and other mature topics. (Warning has been given. Don't accuse me later.)

I exhaled, shaking my head in disbelief. "Welcome, Mrs. Vedant." She raised a brow, smirking. "Are you ready to become my puppet, Mr. Vedant?" ________________________________________ Anaya had always been a dreamer, lost in fictional worlds. Books weren't just entertainment; they were her escape. Reality was dull, full of responsibilities she had ignored for years. She had lied to her parents-told them she was preparing for JEE, that she needed time away from school to study. They believed her. She made them believe her. When she decided not to give JEE, she came up with another excuse: "I've realized I don't want engineering. I'll do UPSC, so I'll take CUET instead." And they trusted her again. But she hadn't been studying. Time had slipped away in distractions-books, social media, and then, anime. Her brother had always told her to watch anime, but she never cared. Then, in 10th grade, she overheard a boy in her class talking about One Piece. His passion intrigued her, so she gave it a try. And just like that, she fell into another loop-binge-watching episodes for hours, days, weeks. Now, she had one month left for boards and two months for CUET. The weight of her wasted time pressed on her chest. How did I let this happen? She had no option but to fix everything. Vasant, on the other hand, was everything she wasn't. Strict, studious, disciplined. He followed a routine, stayed up late to study, and was determined to crack JEE. But inside, he was drowning. Some nights, he felt so overwhelmed he cried. Yet no one knew. To the world, he was just another hardworking student. He hated books but loved anime. He didn't know that a girl in his class had once listened to him and fallen in love with his favorite anime. He didn't know that their lives had unknowingly intertwined years ago. And they still didn't know each other. But fate wasn't done with them yet.

Imagine walking alone at dawn, the soft whispers of leaves and the distant melody of birds surrounding me. Their rhythm feels strangely familiar, almost as if nature itself is sending me messages from Him-Krishna. But today, something is different. His presence isn't just in my thoughts-it's everywhere, like He's calling me. Without knowing why, my steps lead me far from home, to an ancient, hidden temple in middle of the forest. Inside, the air is thick with mystery, and in the shadows stands a statue of Him-Shyam, more breathtaking than anything I've ever dreamed. As I move closer, my heart races, my legs tremble, but I can't stop. Then, suddenly, I hear His voice. "Who are you talking to? I'm right here..." I turn around, and there He is-not as a distant deity, but standing before me in human form. His eyes are playful, His presence both enchanting and overwhelming. But then, He shakes my very soul with a challenge-an impossible bet. "Come with me to my time. Live with me, prove that you can take care for me there.... And if you succeed, I will stay with you... in the 21st century." One choice.... One journey that could change everything. Can I dare to step into His world, walk beside Him in the realm of his dimension and legends? And what happens when the divine crosses into the modern world?.... This isn't just a story of love-it's a journey between two worlds. A Magic of devotion, desire, and destiny. ●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●●●●●●●●◆ ... .. . So finallyyy a new journey started with krishna .......
