One would think that modern romances would be less complicated than the ones spun over the golden, older ages. In the time of cellphones, would anyone need long declarations of love, spilled ink and torn hearts? Amidst the crushing need to build a future, would anyone care to  plunge in the angst, passion and brutality of what is true love?

Apparently, they do. And as long as the idea of self exists, so will this merciless quest for love.

Inspired from the original Pakistani drama Anaa, I add a few changes to this story that truly explores what it means to transcend petty issues of one's ego to eventually give oneself in love.

*****

Daneen Sher, the young heiress to a large fortune has always been cradled in the arms of Islamabad's high society. Headstrong and stubborn, her ego would never yield to no one's will but her own, especially in the matters of love. After a joyous year of romance, she has her mind set on marrying the meek but nonetheless charming scion Areesh Ghazanfar.

Yet when trouble brews in her dreamy paradise, she conspires with her friend and confidante Izza Khan to risk everything for love. Knowing Izza's unwavering devotion towards her, Daneen seemed to have conquered her own gambit of love.

Alas, had it not been for the brick-faced, sharp-tongued specimen named Altamash Ansari.

The ultimate gambit of love has just begun.

*****

Stuck in their own choices, perceptions and qualms about love, will these four ever find what their heart truly desires?

"Rudra Malhotra naam toh suna hoga?" Rudra is the very definition of charisma,outgoing, charming, and unapologetically playful. His quick wit and infectious laughter make him the center of attention wherever he goes, and his flirtatious nature often draws him into spontaneous adventures and lighthearted banter. But beneath the surface of his carefree attitude lies a man scarred by heartbreak. His radiant smile often masks a loneliness he cannot shake, and his laughter sometimes serves as a fragile veil over the pain of his past. "Never trust a man with desire." Ruhanika Mehra, on the other hand, is fierce, short-tempered, and unafraid to speak her mind. Strong-headed and determined, she chases her dreams with relentless passion. Yet behind her fiery exterior is a softer side,one reserved for those she loves most. Protective and deeply caring, Ruhanika's strength is matched only by her capacity to give her heart completely when she chooses. "Rooh!" The silence was suffocating. No response. No movement. I forced my eyes open and scanned the room in a panic. That's when I saw it,the bloodstain seeping into the bedsheet. Memories from the night before came rushing back, hitting me like a tidal wave. "Rudra, make me yours." Her whispered plea echoed in my mind. "You complete me, Rooh." My own words haunted me as I clutched my head, fighting to hold on to reality. Where was she? I spun around, my gaze falling on the dressing table mirror. A note was pinned to the glass. My hands trembled as I snatched it. "We can't be together." -Ruhanika I stared blankly at the words, my mind spiraling. Why would she leave without a word? What happens when a girl who never believed in love collides with a boy who has always yearned for it? Thrown together under circumstances that breed hatred at first sight, can they truly resist the undeniable pull of attraction, lust, and desperation that binds them together?
