Five years apart. One phone call. And suddenly, her carefully built world starts breaking again.
Nandini Murthy thought she had moved on. Music teacher by day, dreamer by night-her life was calm, predictable, safe. Until he walked back in.
Manik Malhotra.
The rockstar who once owned her heart... and shattered it.
The man she swore never to see again.
But fate has its own plans. Every glance, every word, every silence between them burns with unfinished desire. She hates him for leaving. She hates him for returning. And most of all, she hates herself... for still wanting him.
This is not just a love story.
It's a story of pain, passion, betrayal, and a fire that refuses to die.

Beyond Love ✅
Nandini is a sweet and innocent girl who moved to New York from India, leaving her dreadful past behind to begin a new life with hope. She had been through so much in her life at such a young age that all she wanted was a normal, peaceful life where no one knew who she was, where she could start and live her life like a normal teenager, and with that, all she wanted was a good college and job. But deep down, she was just a normal, innocent girl who craved love and family, but her fate never allowed her to have those things until her angel came into her life. Manik Malhotra is a profoundly handsome but down-to-earth boy from a wealthy family. His world revolves around his beloved family and his friends. Although he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his hardworking nature and extremely phenomenal personality make him stand out. He is the type of boy that every girl desires to be with, but none could have him because his heart would not allow anyone to come close to him. And, even in this century, he believed what his father once said: "If the girl can't accelerate your heartbeat at the first meeting, she can't be the one." ♡➷♡➹♡ He walked into her life as an angel and filled all the voids in her heart. She was able to experience the love she had always desired because of him. When she saw him, she found herself drowning in his deep chocolate brown eyes, but due to her insecurity and bad experiences in the past, it was difficult for her to accept him and trust his love. On the other hand, when his gaze fell on Nandini, his heartbeat quickened, and he realised at that moment that she was the one. Her innocence and shyness pull him towards her. Even though she wasn't ready to accept him, he didn't leave her, as he knew deep down that she wanted him to be there. So are you ready to witness their journey of love, where not just their hearts but their souls are blended with each other?Complete
