Arranged By Destiny

ShivAna - Arranged By Destiny

Tagline: She was invisible. He was oblivious. Destiny was neither.

***********************************************

Prologue:

She was nineteen when she first fell for him.

College. Monsoon.

The boy who never looked her way. Shivansh Randhawa-oblivious, charming, heartbreaker-in-training.

Prarthana Malhotra watched from the back of the classroom, collected his smiles like stolen coins, and loved him in complete, painful silence.

He graduated. Never knew she existed.

She moved on. Or pretended to.

Eight years later, her parents announce a proposal. "Good family. Successful boy. You'll like him."

She walked into the meeting.

He was sitting there.

Same face. Same intensity. Same man who'd haunted her twenties.

He looked at her. Polite. Distant. Like she was a stranger.

Of course. He didn't remember. Why would he?

She decided then-this marriage would be a transaction. Civil. Controlled. She'd protect her heart this time.

But Shivansh Randhawa had other plans.

He didn't remember her. But somehow, impossibly, he was seeing her now. Looking at her the way she'd dreamed of at nineteen.

And the girl who once loved him in secret had no idea how to handle the man who was suddenly, terrifyingly, looking back.

***********************************************

This is not a love story. Not yet.

This is the story of a second chance he doesn't know he's getting.

And a secret she's not sure she can keep.

***********************************************

Some meetings are accidents. Some are fate.

And some-are the universe laughing at you.

Because sometimes, destiny doesn't ask for permission.

It just arranges.

So...

"Arranged By Destiny, Complicated By The Past."
