Story Description: Marked by you
Bhavya "Bela", doesn't remember the last time she felt safe.
Her mother built a home in Chandigarh with calloused hands and quiet dreams. Her father burned it down with a bottle, a bet, and a moment of rage that took her mother's life. Now the house is gone, mortgaged to a stranger, and all that's left is the debt-and the guilt.
In Ajmer, Bela lives under the same roof as the man who destroyed them, sharing space with her grandmother and a father who still asks for money like he deserves it. Her elder sister carries the weight from miles away, studying and working to buy back a piece of their mother's memory, one payment at a time. Bela stays quiet. She endures. Because breaking would mean letting go of everything her sister is sacrificing for.
In Jaipur, _Arnav Rathore_, has built his life on one rule: protect the innocent, erase the ones who hurt them. Kindness to those who deserve it. No mercy for those who don't. He never wanted love, never wanted attachment.
But Bela's silent fight cuts through him. She's marked by loss, by debt, by a father's sins she didn't commit. And something in Arnav refuses to let her stay marked by that alone.
When grief meets a man who answers to no law but his own, Bela has to decide: does she let him save her, even if it means being marked by him forever?
it's my own creation, my own work.
