Niranjana has never understood why she hears anklets when she's completely alone.
A soft chiming in empty corridors, a familiar fragrance in unfamiliar places,
and dreams that don't feel like dreams at all-
dreams of a girl named Iruvati,
dressed in vermillion and silver anklets that once told stories of her footsteps.

Darshith doesn't believe in past lives.
He believes in logic, in the present, in things he can touch and explain.
But everything he knows begins to crumble the moment he meets Niranjana-
because her face reminds him of someone he's certain he's seen before,
someone from moments that do not belong to this lifetime,
someone he once called Iruvati... even before he remembers the name.

Their connection is instant-but terrifying.
Their silence feels familiar.
Their arguments feel rehearsed.
And every time Niranjana hears those anklets,
Darshith feels a pull he cannot walk away from.

Fragments of their past begin to break through-
a life where she was Iruvati,
a sacred temple courtyard,
the echo of silver anklets,
and a promise Arinay whispered before fate tore them apart.

Now, in this life, they meet again as Niranjana and Darshith-
strangers with a memory etched into their souls,
bound by a love story that ended too soon.

But destiny isn't asking them to remember.
It's asking them to finish what began centuries ago.

Because some loves don't disappear.
They wait.
