NIYATI: Bound to you

A NAKUL Fanfiction
|age gap|

In a desperate attempt to secure peace and prosperity for Chedi, King Shishupal agrees to an alliance with Indraprastha. What begins as a political negotiation ends in an unexpected marriage one decided without a single meeting between bride and groom.

Kerenumati,21 was not born like others. Manifested during a sacred festival when the Yamuna receded after devastating floods, she arrived alone without mother, without past, without knowledge of the world's cruelties. Accepted as Shishupal's daughter and raised under the quiet protection of her elder brother Drishtketu, her innocence becomes both her strength and her greatest vulnerability.

Nakul,32 soft spoken and reserved, agrees to the marriage out of duty only realizing too late the weight of what he has consented to. Guilt consumes him the moment he sees her. He keeps his distance, mistaking restraint for righteousness, silence for protection.

Kerenumati, however, sees only abandonment.

As politics tighten, and destiny drags them into shared silences, stolen glances, and unspoken ache, Nakul begins to realize that distance can wound as deeply as force.

This is not a story of instant love.
It is a story of guilt, restraint, misunderstood innocence, and a love that grows in denial until denial is no longer possible.
