Holding on you <3

Kartik Singhaniya is the boy everyone knows but no one truly understands. Cold, distant, and completely focused on football, he's the feared captain of the college football team. With a permanent frown and walls built around his heart, Kartik prefers staying away from emotions, friendships, and especially love.

Vaani Malhotra is his complete opposite. Bright, cheerful, and always laughing, she's the topper of the college and the girl who finds happiness in the smallest things. Her bubbly personality lights up every room she enters, and her endless optimism annoys Kartik more than anything.

When fate keeps throwing them together, their constant arguments slowly turn into unexpected conversations, stolen glances, and feelings neither of them saw coming. But while Vaani believes every problem has a solution, Kartik is haunted by a past that makes him afraid to let anyone get close.

Can a girl who never stops smiling teach a broken boy how to love again? Or will Kartik's fears make him lose the one person who was holding on to him all along?
