To every heart that has ever loved in silence, to every soul that has waited for a bond to bloom even when hope seemed fragile—this story belongs to you.

This book is dedicated to the ones who believe that marriage is not just a ritual, but an emotional journey. Sometimes, two people are tied together by destiny, not by choice, and what begins as a forced path can still lead to the purest form of companionship.

To the women like Abhira—strong yet gentle, who carry storms inside but choose to love with grace. And to the men like Dheer—guarded, distant, and wounded in ways they cannot explain, yet unknowingly longing for someone who will see beyond the walls they’ve built.

This is for the ones who have ever asked themselves the same question—“Kya mujhe pyaar hai?”—when love felt more like a test than a fairytale. For those who fight with their own hearts, wondering whether love is about being chosen instantly or being trusted patiently.

To my readers, may this story remind you that sometimes love does not enter with fireworks—it enters like a slow dawn, quietly breaking through the darkness. That even in silence, love can exist. That even in distance, it can grow.
