❁ Blurb ❁

Not everything is destined. Sometimes, our life is predetermined by others. 

And so was the case with Karishma and Avyaan. 

Karishma Agrawal, being a child of a wealthy family, was undoubtedly pampered, but only materialistically. Never in her life did she experience love. Having no good bond with others made her vulnerable, naive and a people pleaser just to find some love and warmth somewhere.

"𝐀𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝, 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞..."

"𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐲𝐞?"

"𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲... 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥"

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞!"

Avyaan Rajvansh, on the other hand, is the least expressive person one would meet. Feeling in debt to the family he considers his own, he pressurises himself to work day and night to give them as much as he can. However, this taught him to not prioritise and express himself.

"𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲'𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐞... 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞!"

"𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐲𝐞?"

"𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐞. 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭, 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭!"

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞!"

The two are tied into an alliance due to a deal made decades ago. How will this affect their lives? Will the opposites attract or will they repel each other further away?
