|NOT YOUR TYPICAL FORBIDDEN LOVE STORY|

Nidhi Singh ✩

I was promised to someone else long before I knew what love meant. So, I chose to leave before I forgot how to choose myself. ~

Sharp-tongued, confident, and fiercely guarded, Nidhi isn't the kind of girl who lets people in. Raised in a world of expectations, with a childhood alliance already tying her future down, she mastered the art of smiling while suffocating. But behind all the sass and sarcasm lies a girl scared of wanting too much. And the only person who ever made her forget her boundaries? Aarav Malhotra-the boy who saw every version of her and stayed.

Aarav Malhotra ✩

She wasn't mine to love. But when has that ever stopped me? ~

Charming, dependable, and secretly sentimental, Aarav has always been the calm to Nidhi's storm. He knows her better than she wants him to-and that's the problem. Because somewhere between playful insults and long stares, he fell for the girl who was never promised to him. When she vanishes right before everything falls apart, he's left holding questions she never dared to answer.

With a girl who was born to run and a boy who never stopped waiting, their story was never going to be simple.
