An everlasting friendship, an easygoing boyfriend, and a long-term truce with her dysfunctional family. It was the perfect definition of the steady life Vritika Deshmukh was leading. Stable and content, she never felt the need for anything else, for that's what her heart desired. Or so she thought.
What happens when she discovers unforeseen add-ons knocking at the door of her heart, who was used to this predictable life?
As she navigates through the ocean of obstacles hurdling at her as strong waves, she finds herself face-to-face with storms she had restrained long ago.
What would she do when one such storm sweeps through her most cherished place, her home, leaving it in ruins?
𖤐⭒๋࣭ ⭑
A girl in his dreams, two reliable best friends, and the most understanding family he could ever ask for. Yet Sahir Goel has never stopped feeling an emptiness in his comfortable life. Barren but tranquil, he made peace with it for nothing else made sense, even though it wasn't what his heart desired. Or so he thought.
What happens when his heart craves renascence for the dreams he has subdued for long, only to get played by the turn of events?
Life lays its cards in front of him as his strong foothold on the groundwork of oblivion, skillfully built by him, staggers out of sudden.
What would he do to mend the damage done by the hands of fate in the guise of life?
