Heartbreak can leave scars that never fully heal. For him, trust in love vanished the moment his past girlfriend left without a trace, leaving him alone and shattered. His days are spent in isolation, with a distant father and no mother to turn to. He has learned to live with the ache of loneliness, convinced that love was never meant for him.
For her, love has always seemed like a fleeting illusion-something she's never experienced, nor ever trusted. Surrounded by a bustling family, she watches others fall into the trap of temporary emotions, never daring to get caught herself.
When their worlds collide, two hearts that have given up on love find themselves questioning everything. Could they be the ones to prove themselves wrong, or will they forever remain lost in the shadows of their pasts?
Her bitter divorce had convinced her that she was not to be loved ever. But fate had a few surprises for her. On a scholarship at Yale, away from family and friends, she meets an enigmatic man who takes her own a journey of self discovery. She tries to guard her heart so as to be not hurt again but he breaks the walls holding her heart brick by brick.
Neel did not believe in love. Or relationships. Or commitment. And he wanted her. She was an enigma to him. Too self -reliant, too distant. No girl had been able to resist his advances before. Except her. He had known her for a few years now but all his attempts to even strike a conversation with her had failed. Now was his chance. And he had full intentions of making full use of it. He was determined to make her want him. Little did he know that Manjari would completely change his attitude toward life and relationships.
This is my first attempt at writing. The story will span three countries and is about love, acceptance and taking second chances.
