In The Quiet Of Love

Devi Menon is a force to be reckoned with- sharp, ambitious, and unrelenting in her pursuit of success. As a high-ranking bureaucrat, she navigates the political world with precision, never letting emotions cloud her judgment. She doesn't chase love, nor does she believe in surrendering control.

Arun Gupta, on the other hand, is the quiet storm- reserved, composed, and emotionally steady. He speaks only when necessary, never seeks attention, and yet commands it effortlessly. Unlike Devi, he doesn't chase. But when he cares, he stays.

When their paths cross again after years of distant professional interactions, Devi finds herself drawn to him in ways she never anticipated. Intrigued, she makes the first move. What starts as a playful pursuit turns into something far more consuming. Their chemistry is slow-burning yet electric, tangled in intense conversations, stolen moments, and a growing tension neither of them can ignore.

But love is never simple. Possession. Vulnerability. Jealousy. Need.
For the first time, Devi finds herself questioning the walls she has built, while Arun- who never chased anyone- realizes he can't let her go.

*Will they both finally take the leap toward forever, or will their fears keep them apart?*

This story explores themes of love, self-discovery, emotional growth, and the beauty of vulnerability in relationships -where love isn't just about desire, but about finding a place to rest.
