Now available as an Audio book on Audible India. Dear readers, BEFORE YOU ALL, MAKE AN ASSUMPTION ABOUT THIS BOOK BEING THE SAME AS MANY 'ARRANGED MARRIAGE' STORIES ON WATTPAD, I HUMBLY REQUEST YOU ALL TO READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE WRITTEN IN THE BEGINNING. THANK YOU. It's a story of how Neha, a 23-year-old woman, and Arun, a 26-year-old man, two absolute strangers, are bound together in an arranged marriage and how they make their marriage work by overcoming all the hurdles and making beautiful memories. It may be cliche at times, but I would be happy if you all could give it a try as it is my first book here. Note: The full book is available on Wattpad from now on. The first chapter of the story can be misleading, but I had written that when my book was published as a paperback in 2020.

They were two inexperienced souls, bound by a relationship they didn't fully understand. Gauri had never imagined what kind of husband she wanted, nor had she ever dreamed of love the way stories described it. And Madhav? He was far too absorbed in his farm and his duty toward his widowed mother to think about marriage or women. His life began and ended with the soil beneath his feet and the responsibilities on his shoulders. Two strangers, unaware of love's language, now share the same roof. But destiny had other plans because somewhere in Madhav's past still lived a woman. The woman who once dreamed of a future with him. And when fate decides to bring that past back into his present,will time heal what love could not or will the past come knocking on the door of their fragile new beginning?
