Ishq Ke Darmiyaan
She Fell First. He Fell Harder.

she wasn't moving to Australia looking for love.

she had plans.

A new country.
A new university.
A new life.
A future I wanted to build for myself.

Love wasn't on the list.

And then there was Shivay.

Quiet where she's loud.
Composed where she's chaotic.
Reserved where she's incapable of keeping my thoughts to myself.

We didn't exactly get along when we first met.

There were awkward conversations, unnecessary arguments, misunderstandings, and far too many moments where I wondered why this man had to be so difficult.

But somewhere between ordinary days, family dinners, accidental conversations, small acts of care and things neither of us talked about...

something changed.

Not all at once.

Not like the movies.

It happened slowly.

So slowly that I didn't even realize when he stopped being just another person in the house and became someone I looked for without meaning to.

Someone whose silence I started understanding.

Someone whose presence started feeling familiar.

Someone I wasn't supposed to fall for.

But I did.

I fell first.

What I didn't know was that when Shivay Patel finally fell...

he was going to fall a lot harder.

Because sometimes love isn't found in grand gestures.

Sometimes it's hidden in everything that happens in between.
