Charvi, a 22-year-old who radiated beauty and confidence, commanded attention wherever she went. With her elegant demeanor and maturity beyond her years, she seemed untouchable to those who only saw the surface. Yet, beneath her poised exterior lay the remnants of a deeply scarred childhood. At six, she survived a motorbike accident that tragically claimed her father's life. Her mother, consumed by grief and anger, unfairly blamed the young Charvi. What followed were years of neglect and verbal abuse, leaving her to grow up in a household filled with resentment and bitterness.
As Charvi blossomed into a stunning young woman, her striking features drew admiration from all who saw her. Men of all ages vied for her attention, but she remained indifferent, offering only a polite smile while secretly relishing the validation. At home, however, her beauty became a source of tension. Her mother, watching her own youth fade, grew increasingly jealous. Their house turned into a war zone of sharp words and insults, with Charvi left emotionally defeated time and again.
Earning a scholarship far from home gave Charvi the escape she desperately needed. In her new life, she sought solace in books and joined a reading club, where she met Aalok, a writer in his late 40s. Aalok carried his own burdens-grieving a child he had lost to drowning and enduring the collapse of his marriage. Despite their age difference, the two recognized the pain in each other's eyes and found comfort in their shared grief. Their connection deepened, transforming into a passionate romance that offered them both the solace they had been seeking for years.
For the first time, Charvi began to believe she could leave her past behind and embrace happiness. But fate, cruel as ever, had other plans for her......
