Kartik Shekhawat never thought he'd be the kind of man to hesitate when it came to love. But after a painful breakup shattered his trust, he's spent years keeping his heart locked away. Moving on feels impossible-until fate intervenes. When his cousin introduces him to Ira Agnihotri, a family friend who has just moved back to Delhi, he agrees to meet her. Not because he believes in second chances, but because he's tired of being stuck in the past. Ira is everything Kartik no longer allows himself to be-hopeful, open-hearted, and ready to embrace love without fear. For her, romance is meant to be soft, effortless, and filled with joy. She wants a love story, not a battlefield. But Kartik is distant, his silences heavy with unspoken fears. He sees the world in shades of caution, while she walks through it with unshaken belief in love's magic. Their match is arranged, but their differences are glaring. Kartik is guarded, weighed down by the past, while Ira is ready to dive into a future full of possibilities. Two strangers, brought together by an arranged match, now stand at the crossroads of what could be. As they navigate their contrasting personalities, unexpected sparks fly. But will Kartik's fears sabotage their growing bond, or will Ira's warmth be enough to melt the walls around his heart? But how do you build something real when one of you is afraid to fall? And how long can Ira hold on before she realizes that love, no matter how patient, still needs to be met halfway?
