Set in the 1980s, in a village where traditions hold more power than dreams.

Tara-a young woman trapped by societal expectations, burdened by rejection, and scarred by loss. With nowhere left to turn, she finds herself at the edge of despair, questioning if there's anything left to fight for.

Then there's Dhruv-a man who refuses to accept the world's injustices as fate. Practical yet defiant, he challenges the very beliefs that have kept Tara caged. When their paths collide on a fateful night, neither of them realizes that this meeting will change their lives forever.

This is their story-a tale of love, defiance, and the struggle to break free from a society that refuses to change. But in a world where rules are set in stone, can love truly rewrite destiny?

β˜† Warning - This story explores themes that may be sensitive or uncomfortable for some readers. It is entirely fictional and based on my imagination. Given its setting in the 1980s, in a rural village, certain events may reflect harsh societal realities. Reader discretion is advised.

Dhruva Jamadagni is on the brink of achieving everything he's ever worked for. At just 30 he is the youngest MP and is about to become the youngest Chief Minister of Karnataka - a charismatic, well-educated leader, deeply rooted in Indian tradition. Raised in a prestigious family of wealth and power, Dhruva has dedicated his life to a single purpose: serving the nation. Yet, despite his public success, there's one part of his life he refuses to explore - love. To him, love and marriage are distractions from his duty, a path he's determined to avoid. Far from the political spotlight, in a remote forest village, lives 22-year-old Dhatri Vaishampayana. She belongs to an ancient lineage of healers, descended from the students of Charaka & Sushruta. Her family has preserved the priceless knowledge of ancient Indian medicine for centuries, passing it down through generations. Raised in the most remote tribal village cut off from the outside world, Dhatri has mastered these healing arts under the guidance of her mother, becoming the next guardian of a wisdom long forgotten by modern society. When circumstances force Dhatri out of her secluded world and into Dhruva's life, their vastly different lives collide. Dhruva, closed off to the idea of love, finds himself slowly drawn to Dhatri, a woman who challenges his beliefs about duty and the heart. Meanwhile, Dhatri, used to living in the shadows, must now face the harsh reality of stepping into the public eye. As their worlds intertwine, Dhatri must find the strength to open Dhruva's heart while navigating the pressures of a life she never sought. Can Dhruva reconcile his duty to his state with the pull of his heart? And can Dhatri, a woman used to the shadows, find her place in the relentless glare of public life? This is a story of fate, transformation, and the delicate balance between duty & love. Can they both stay true to themselves, or will their connection force them to redefine what their promises really mean?
