Vows and Verses
Before college begins, Shraddha and Abhay are tied together by a secret - an arranged marriage neither wanted but both must live. Shraddha, a bold and vibrant Tamil Brahmin girl with a love for dance and literature, steps into Mumbai's bustling university carrying the weight of tradition and a heart full of silent dreams. Abhay, her charismatic senior and a second-year literature student from a wealthy business family, is everything she isn't - confident, reckless, and untouchable to everyone but her. Bound by vows whispered in secrecy, they navigate a campus where they are strangers in public and something much more behind closed doors. As their worlds collide - rich and orthodox, modern and rebellious - they learn that love doesn't always come in loud declarations. Sometimes, it is written in quiet verses and stolen moments. _____ "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." _____ Will their vows confine them, or will the verses they write together set them free? ⸻ TROPES: Secret Marriage Senior × Junior College Heartthrob × New Student Enemies to Lovers (Slow-Burn) Grumpy × Bold (with a twist) Culture Clash North Indian × South Indian Literature Nerds × Silent Pining ______ Hashtags #SecretMarriage #ArrangedMarriage #CollegeRomance #EnemiesToLovers #SlowBurn #WattpadIndia #DesiLoveStory #GrumpyxBold #SeniorJunior #IndianRomance #NorthXSouth Highest Ranking: #66 in #WattpadIndia #58 in #WattpadIndia #53 in #wattpadindia #51 in #wattpadindia #7 in #wattpadlovestory #141 in #collegeromance #7 in #wattpadlovestory #5 in #wattpadlovestory #2 in #cultureclash #2 in #poeticlove

Doesn't care about anyone or anything, especially his family. They dumped him in a hostel when he was a kid, left him crying and begging, and now? He won't even look at them. Trust issues? Yeah, he's got those. Push people away before they can hurt him, that's his motto. Arrogant, reckless, and doesn't give a damn about rules. But deep down? Probably just a kid still screaming, asking why no one stayed. -Armaan Singh Raizada She is 21, a girl with a loving and warm personality.
