DATSAK

MEHER GUPTA has a life that doesn't leave much room for chaos.
A doctor. A writer. A woman who knows exactly where her boundaries lie.
REYANSH RATHORE has spent his life surrounded by power.
Politics runs through his family, influence follows him everywhere, and he's learned never to let emotions interfere with what matters.
Then Meher walks into his life.
She isn't impressed by his name.
She doesn't need his power.
And, much to his growing frustration, she doesn't seem particularly interested in him either.
What begins as an unexpected encounter becomes an unlikely friendship.
Then comes the jealousy.
The late-night conversations.
The things left unsaid.
The feeling neither of them has quite figured out how to name.
Because sometimes, the people who enter your life quietly
become the ones you can no longer imagine it without.
And sometimes, all it takes is a single "dastak".
