Isha Mukherjee has learned not to expect anything from anyone. Raised in a family that rarely showed emotional support and shaped by past heartbreak, she's a fiercely independent, aspiring architect who's unapologetically modern and practical. Yet, beneath her self-sufficient exterior, Isha secretly longs for a steady presence, someone who can fill the gap left by years of self-reliance.
Enter Rikansh Malhotra-a man she knows little about but who's been watching her from afar, captivated by her strength and resilience. When he confesses his feelings out of the blue, Isha is taken aback, cautious yet intrigued. What begins as an unexpected encounter turns into a slow, profound journey as she observes him, daring to let herself hope once more. Rikansh becomes the first person to meet and then exceed her guarded expectations, revealing that sometimes love comes from the places we least anticipate.

"I think it's best we stay cordial while we're here. You know, avoid any awkwardness," I say, trying to sound casual. Jay leans against the doorframe, his eyes flickering with amusement as he watches me. "You want to be friends?" "No. I mean, not friends. Just civil," I answer, a little too quickly. "Okay. I can do civil," he says, his gaze never leaving mine like he is trying hard to read me. I look away, suddenly too exposed beneath his gaze. Damnit!This is going to be harder than I thought. - It was a moment. One that could have turned into something more.Until she walked away. Eight months later, Ira has to face him again. And this time, there's nowhere to run. Not for at least a week. After all, it's her best friend's wedding and he's invited too. So, she does what she's always done best-pretend. Pretend nothing happened. Pretend he didn't matter. Pretend her heart didn't skip a beat the second she saw him again. But Jay? He's not playing pretend. With that maddening smile and the kind of charm that should come with a warning, he's determined to remind her of everything she's tried to forget- even the years she's spent years mastering the art of detachment. He's the only one who's ever come close to reaching the version of her that she thought, she had buried long ago. And that's what makes him dangerous. Because she shouldn't return to who she was. She's ice. And he? He's the fire that never stopped burning. The real question is: Can she let his fire thaw the ice that's long been her shield?Zakończone
Kabhi Ishqyaun Kabhi Dishkiyaun
"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?
