She thinks she has to achieve something to deserve love. He thinks he has to provide something to deserve it. Myra Kapoor has always believed that she needs to achieve something before she can deserve love. At twenty-four, with a master's degree in Psychology and dreams of becoming a psychologist, she's determined to build a life she's proud of. Love isn't exactly on the list. Then comes the proposal. Aiden Malhotra, twenty-seven. Heir to a business empire. Quiet, composed, and seemingly incapable of saying more than three sentences at a time. Their families think they're perfect for each other. Myra thinks they're insane. Aiden... doesn't seem to have an opinion. But sometimes, love doesn't begin with butterflies. Sometimes, it begins with awkward conversations, shared cups of coffee, silent drives, stolen glances, and someone remembering exactly how you like your momo. She speaks her feelings. He shows his. She worries she's not enough. He worries he isn't giving enough. A soft story about two people, one arranged marriage, and the quiet kind of love that sneaks up on you. -------------------------- Updates: Every Tuesday and Friday at 6 p.m. Starting from: 1st Sept' 2026 #3 shylove (9 Oct'26)
