"Two broken hearts. One unwanted marriage. A love that was never meant to be... yet refuses to be denied."
Dhruv Nigam had already loved once-with all his heart, all his soul, until fate cruelly took it away. Now, his world revolves around his six-months-old daughter, Ishi. His love, his responsibility, his everything. When his mother forces him into another marriage, he doesn't fight-because what's the point? His heart is no longer his to give.
Meher Rajput never dreamed of marriage, but saying 'no' was never an option. Forced into a home where love is a memory, not a promise, she finds herself navigating silence, distance, and a little girl who refuses to acknowledge her. She isn't a mother. She doesn't know how to be. But in the quiet moments, in the spaces between grief and healing, she starts to realize-maybe love isn't always loud.
Maybe, sometimes, love is found in unspoken words, stolen glances, and the slow unraveling of walls built too high.
But can a man who refuses to love again ever let someone in?
And can a woman who has never known love learn to stay, even when it hurts?
A story of healing, longing, and the slowest, deepest love-because some souls are meant to meet, no matter how long it takes.
"Inaaya," he calls out, a certain urgency underlying in his tone. "Don't ever fall in love with me."
She doesn't say as a moment passes between them and then, she snorts. "Haha.. itne bure din bhi nahi aaye hai mere. (I'm not yet having such bad days)." She mocks and laughs playfully.

Love, two syllables, four letters but carries with it the power to move worlds. The more you receive, the less it feels and even when you think you're better off without it, a part of you can't help but crave for it.
Ayansh Mehra has craved for love throughout his life. The younger sibling, the second best, the awkward one in crowds, the shadow, the one who wants to prove himself but always falls short so when his brother asks something of him, he's quick to grab the opportunity. The task? Make Inaaya Rai fall in love with him and then break her heart.
Inaaya Rai has a past, one she can't forget nor escape. It defines her, influences her decisions, makes her build a shell around herself. When she's forced to work with Ayansh Mehra for a month, she couldn't wait to get done with it because the last thing she wants is to be associated with the guy who had the audacity to propose her after an accidental meet.
But destiny seemed to have other plans or were they really the plans of destiny or manipulation of it?
After all, wasn't everything a lie?
