“She fell first, quietly. He fell later, harder.
And somewhere between rain-soaked benches and city skylines,
they became each other’s most unforgettable mistake — and greatest love.”




---

When fifteen-year-old Avni Sharma meets Krivan Chugh, the arrogant new senior at St. Hilda’s in Udaipur, she never expects a rivalry over a school bench to turn into something much deeper.
He’s impulsive, infuriating, and everything her calm world isn’t — and yet, somehow, she keeps finding him everywhere.

What begins as playful fights turns into whispered laughter, late-night texts, and the kind of love that feels endless… until a single misunderstanding tears them apart.

Eight years later, in the crowded lanes of Bengaluru, they meet again — older, quieter, carrying the scars of what they lost.
She’s built a life without him.
He’s built a lifetime of regret.

Now, when destiny forces their paths to cross, Krivan has one chance to make things right — to prove that some stories don’t end with goodbye… they just wait for the right chapter.

and still believed that time could never steal what hearts remember.🥰🎀


To every first love that taught us what forever truly means.🌌
