Rudrayee

"Not every love story begins with love."

"Some start with rivalry. Some with friendship. And some... with a goodbye."

Maitreyee Goswami never believed in fate, but fate had always played a cruel joke on her.

A perfect engagement-shattered. A future-uncertain. A past-unresolved.

She thought she had it all figured out. Life was a checklist, and she had checked all the right boxes:
✅ A stable career path.
✅ A family-approved match.
✅ A love that made sense-on paper.

But life isn't a checklist. And love isn't logical.

Because no matter how much time passed, there was one thing Maitreyee couldn't erase from her mind-him.

Rudransh Sharma.

Her senior. Her rival. Her friend. Her almost something.

A man who made his intentions clear to her but still left.
A man who never asked her to stay.
A man who, walked out of her life without a backward glance when everything was falling apart.

So why, now- after everything happened, her mind still goes back to a man who left her in the middle of the chaos when she thought he was her Armor....

Why does she remember the way he looked at her during that one rain-soaked evening on the campus rooftop?
Why does she still feel the ghost of the unsaid words and the words he once said?
Why does it feel like unfinished business ?

Was Rudransh just a fleeting chapter in her story? Or was he the one person she was always meant to return to?

This is a story of love that was never thought of or spoken.
A love that was left behind with a broken engagement and forgotten glances.
A love that may not have begun the way it should have-

-but one that fate refuses to let go.
