Between Stranger and Soulmate

An Arranged Marriage Story

Rutvi never dreamed of falling in love. In her middle-class world, marriage comes early-sealed through tradition, not emotion. She's a quiet girl, a passionate reader, a secret writer, and a devoted daughter whose heart beats strongest for her father. When a wedding proposal arrives through family ties, hesitation clouds her mind... until a gentle push from her father makes her consider giving a stranger a chance.
Raghav is practical, respected, and deeply rooted in his close-knit family. Emotions aren't something he voices often, but he understands responsibility better than anyone. When shown Rutvi's pictures, he doesn't expect anything to change-until it does. Until her presence lingers longer than expected.
Bound by duty but driven by hearts aching for connection, two strangers step into a journey neither of them expected-one filled with hesitation, misunderstandings, silent affection, and the slow unfolding of trust.
Can love truly grow between those who never looked for it? Or is soul-deep connection only for the lucky few?
