"Pyaar sirf aik dafa hi hota hai." Sirf aik dafa?

Love isn't a one-time thing. It can happen twice, thrice, or even a million times. Some say, "If you fall in love again, you have never truly loved before." Oh? Is it?

Love is about exploring. You don't have to love just one person your whole life. It happens when it happens-without rules, without limits. You can't control love, and maybe that's the most beautiful thing about it.

Crush. That's what Kartik thought he had on his cousin's girlfriend, but it didn't feel so simple anymore.

At first, he brushed it off. It was just admiration, just harmless attraction. But then, he started noticing everything about her-her smile, her voice, the way she looked at the world. And the more he tried to ignore it, the stronger it grew.

He knew it was wrong. She belonged to someone else, someone he was supposed to care about. Yet, his heart refused to listen. Because sometimes, love happens where it shouldn't, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

And then-out of nowhere, Kartik arranged his marriage with her, forcing her to leave her love behind.

Everything seemed perfect. Their wedding was flawless, and they appeared as the ideal couple to the world. But deep down, Kartik knew the truth. She didn't love him-and she never would.
