Just when she starts believing she's over him, Karan storms back into her world, igniting the same fire she swore she had extinguished. But Meera isn't the same girl anymore. And she isn't alone. Enter Vivan-intense, enigmatic, and unshaken by the chaos of her past. Where Karan was a wildfire, Vivan is a slow-burning ember, steady but just as dangerous.

But this time, she isn't just a girl caught between two hearts-she's the one who will decide how this story ends. Because unfinished stories? They weigh heavy. But Meera is done carrying the past.
