"Is this really okay?"
***
Most girls get married off in their mid-twenties. And the now twenty six year old Aarohi's soon going to be one of them. True to her promise, she lets her family groom-hunt, though she knows she'll never be ready. Why won't they let her grow instead of looking for a potential son-in-law?
Aditya is long tired of the marriage talks. 16 failed talks later, his parents are still ever-enthusiastic that their son will get himself a bride. But do they know what he wants? Do they even care? Why don't they ever try to understand him?
Meeting truly by chance, Aarohi and Aditya catch up on old memories of their school days. Knowing the other's situation, they strike a deal: Agree to their marriage to please the parents, but keep living their lives with the other in it, as friends.
But as the days pass, something starts changing between the both of them. Aarohi has never felt so seen, and Aditya has never felt so alive.
Are they really just friends or maybe, can they be more..?

Thanks so much for looking at my story, means a lot to me!

Woven From Broken Threads
Two lives. One binding thread. A marriage built on everything but trust. Aadrika Rai has learned the hard way-trust is a luxury she cannot afford. Caught in a web of expectations, secrets, and betrayals, she knows that survival means keeping her heart locked away. But when an arranged marriage ties her to Reeyansh Dixit, she finds herself at the mercy of a man who is everything she fears-powerful, perceptive, and dangerously close to unraveling her carefully guarded truths. Reeyansh never believed in second chances. Betrayed by love once, he refuses to let the past define him-or his new wife. In a world where loyalties shift like the wind, he chooses logic over emotion, control over chaos. But Aadrika is unlike anyone he has ever met. Strong yet fragile, distant yet unyielding-she challenges his beliefs at every turn. In a marriage that began as a compromise, will trust ever find a place? Or will the broken threads of their pasts weave a future neither of them expected? What happens when two broken souls, bound by a marriage of convenience, discover a love neither of them ever believed they deserved? A story of strength, second chances, and love that defies expectations. ◉ ◉ ◉ ✿ Aadrika Rai: The only feeling I truly crave and fear to experience: Love. And here I am, wedded in an arranged marriage without being given any option, having my worst fears come true-of not being truly wanted, loved, or being let down again! The only expectation I have from my ARRANGED WEDDED HUSBAND is to be treated with respect. ✿ Reeyansh Dixit: I don't believe in love-the betrayal I have faced has crushed me too deeply. And here I am, wedded in an arranged marriage-or more like a business arrangement for me. The only emotion I can give her: Treat her with respect.
