The prequel to Abhimanyu's story. Before Abhimanyu's journey began, there was another love story hidden in silence - the story of his elder brother, Vihaan. Some love stories begin with loud confessions. Theirs began with silent glances across a classroom. Vihaan, the perfect heir trapped under his father's control, and Nishanthini, a girl fighting to build her own future, slowly become each other's safest place. Between hidden smiles, stolen moments, and unspoken promises, their bond grows deeper than either of them expected. But in a world ruled by power, family expectations, and painful sacrifices, love comes with a dangerous price. Will they survive the weight of their destinies... or become just another unfinished story? Note: Mature themes + some intimate scenes. It's subtle, not explicit. Don't expect too much.
