They were childhood friends-inseparable, innocent, and full of laughter. But fate, cruel and unpredictable, tore them apart when he was just 12 and she was 6. Years passed, and so did memories. Though he was old enough to remember her, the trauma that followed after their separation buried everything under layers of pain.
Now, he is no longer the boy she once knew. Time may have turned him into a successful businessman, commanding respect and admiration from the outside world-but inside, he is cold. Aloof. Broken. The warmth that once lit up his eyes has long been extinguished by the shadows of his past.
He has built walls so high, so impenetrable, that no one dares to reach his heart. Not even the friendly touch of a man is welcome; and the mere nearness of a woman sends a wave of anxiety crashing over him. Human connection, once so natural, now feels foreign and dangerous. He hides behind a carefully constructed fortress of emotional detachment-safe, silent, and unreachable.
She, on the other hand, grew up to be a cheerful, radiant soul who spreads joy wherever she goes. The apple of her family's eye, she carries their pride with grace and refuses to let anything tarnish their honor. Though playful and lively, she has her principles-unshakable and dignified.
They have become two entirely different people... And yet, destiny weaves their paths together once more.
Can her light pierce through his darkness? Can her warmth melt the ice around his heart? Will he let her in-into the deepest corners of his soul where fear and pain reside? Or will he push her away, afraid to feel again?
Come, embark on this heartfelt journey of two souls-once lost, now searching. A tale of rediscovery, healing, and a bond that might just transform their destinies.

✦ RITVIKA KAPOOR ✦
A girl who carries the sun in her smile and storms in her silence.
She wasn't raised in riches, but she's richer than most-in love, in softness, in strength. A single mother at 24, her heart beats not just for herself, but for her little girl who calls her "Mumma."
𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 is her language and 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 her comfort-she loves quietly, endures deeply. Every scar has a story, but she chooses not to tell them, only to live past them.
She dreams of love, but doesn't expect it.
She hopes for a miracle, yet walks through life with calm acceptance.
She is a - ❝ Khud se zyada kisi aur ke liye jeene wali ladki. ❞

✦ VIDYUT RAJVANSH ✦
His presence demands silence.
A man built from shadows and steel. Cold eyes, sharp suits, and a reputation darker than the night. He's the kind of man who doesn't flinch at loss, and never looks back once he walks away.
A CEO, a name whispered in fear, a heart hidden behind layers of pain and pride.
Commitments? He avoids them.
Emotions? He shuts them out.
Children? He doesn't do soft things-until Tara calls him "Dadda."
He doesn't believe in second chances,
but somehow, Ritvika feels like the home he never had.
He is a - ❝ Mohabbat se door bhaagne wala, lekin mohabbat mein doobta hua aadmi. ❞
