Chasing Destiny

Anvi Verma

fierce, independent, and unstoppable

had a heart that belonged to her dreams. But behind her strength was a truth she rarely admitted—she had never been loved the way she wanted to be. She had always been the one left behind, betrayed, and hurt. Love, to her, was nothing more than a beautiful lie. She had never been in a real relationship—only one-sided loves and messy situationships—until she decided she was done with it all and chose to love herself instead.

Aarhan Malhotra

calm, carefree, and quietly observant—wasn't a playboy, but he had dated a girl in college who turned out to be a red flag, double-dating without his knowledge. By the time he realised, it was already too late. The breakup didn't crush him—mostly because he'd never taken the relationship too seriously. He didn't really know what true love felt like… until he met Anvi.

Their worlds collided by chance, and something unexplainable clicked. They talked like old friends, laughed like they'd known each other forever, and shared pieces of themselves they didn't know they were willing to give away.

But while Anvi saw a friend, Aarhan felt something more—something he never dared to say out loud. And just when their bond felt unbreakable, reality stepped in. Their dreams pulled them in opposite directions, leaving unspoken words hanging in the air.

She walked away chasing the world.

He stayed behind, wishing she'd stayed.

Will destiny bring them back together, or was it only a lesson meant to be learned?
