Prologue

The world hadn't been kind to Meera.

She had known what it felt like to break in silence, to cry behind locked doors, to be both invisible and burdened with expectation. Life had taught her that sometimes, love hurt more than hate. Yet even in that darkness, she carried within her a quiet strength — a fragile hope that maybe, just maybe, she would find peace beyond the pain.

And then came Aradhana — the little girl with stardust in her eyes and a wounded heart that mirrored her own.

And then came Shivam.

Fierce, guarded, and yet impossibly gentle with the ones he chose to protect. A man whose silence spoke volumes, whose past was painted in shadows... and whose presence brought with it the promise of safety. Meera didn't trust easily — not with her heart, not with her body, not with her future. But in his gaze, she found something she hadn't known in years.

Home.

Together, they weren't perfect — far from it. There were unspoken scars, nights filled with tears, and mornings where doubt crept in like fog. But slowly, day by day, brick by brick, they began to build something sacred. A bond not born from perfection but forged in fire and tenderness.

This is a story of broken people learning to love loudly.

Of a man who didn't believe he could heal, loving a woman who didn't believe she was worth saving. Of a child who reminded them both that love is a choice — made again and again — through every storm, every scar, every whisper in the dark.

This is their journey.

From strangers to soulmates.

From ache to affection.

From silence... to forever.
