In every human's life, college life is said to be an experience of a lifetime. Of course it is. Because those teenage years and the early twenties? They never come back. You grow and you learn. You feel like you have the whole world in the palm of your hands, but also that you have no idea what to do with what that world is offering you. The combination of bad decisions and tough choices almost feels powerful enough to break your bones. 
Especially when it comes to love. 
And when it came to Aashi's life in general, it was no different. Maybe it was even worse than the others. The burden of her own bad decisions and mistakes was weighing down on her back, and she was only trying to find a way to escape it. 
However, what when escapism came in the form of another bad decision? Another dark choice? Another idea she knew was terrible enough to crumble whatever stability she was trying to build, but also thrilling enough that she couldn't resist it. 
What happens when escapism comes in the form of a boy named Devrat Singh Chouhan, with promises of electric touches, soft lips, unavoidable charm, and starry midnights? 
She couldn't stay away. He didn't let her. 
Although maybe, she was ready to make this bad decision. Maybe she could get out of it without her whole life tumbling upside down. Just one time.

Aayan x Aashi: Grumpy x Sunshine, Age Gap, Marriage of Convenience, Contract Marriage Aayan - "Please don't expect love or compassion from me. I can promise you respect, but I'll never be able to give you the place of a wife. However, I can be your friend, for the time being." "Good," Aashi replied straightforwardly, "I expect nothing more than privacy and space from you. We won't interfere in each other's lives." "Agreed. I'll draft a contract for this marriage and send it to your place. Please review it carefully and sign it," Aayan responded. Story Overview: Aayan Singhania, the disciplined and driven CEO of Adviti Corporation Ltd., agrees to marry Aashi to fulfill his late wife's dying wish. Punctuality is his lifeblood, and his workaholic, career-oriented nature has built an impenetrable wall around his heart. His heart is locked away, sealed off by the promise he made to himself to never love again after the loss of his wife. Aashi Rathore, on the other hand, is his complete opposite-clumsy, perpetually late, and brimming with energy. She's a sweet, extroverted young woman who hides a deep fear of love, rooted in past traumas. Yet, beneath her bubbly exterior lies a girl who still dreams of the kind of love she reads about in books, the kind that makes life worth waking up to each day. When destiny intertwines their lives, will they be able to break down the barriers they've built around their hearts? Will love blossom between them despite the odds, or will they remain locked in the roles they've chosen for themselves?

Taking two cups in my hand. The moment I turned around I clash with something, well to be correct on Someone. But before I can fall, a strong hand got wrapped around me, making me steady. Coming back to my senses my gaze falls on his white shirt which is now daubed with coffee. "Holyshit" I swear, and he gave me the death look. "Sorry" I apologize "For what? For swearing so freely or for making my day great by pouring on coffee." "For both, sorry, I can help you with a shirt or buy you a cup of coffee?" "No need, just walk with your open eyes. That would be a lot better." ~ AAYAN KASHAYAP. The first grandson, the eldest brother, the eldest son of the family. Where ever he goes he drips with empowerment, and dominance, and makes a room seem small wherever he stands. He's not arrogant but he knows his attitude.
