Description
An average-intellect IT girl, tinkering with a side project she barely dares to call a startup. Her days are swallowed by code and CAT prep, her nights by quiet wars with self-worth. She dreams of an empire-softly, secretly- but never loud enough to disturb reality. Because at 25, she is already behind. Behind the ones who built unicorns, who got into IIMs, who make Instagram reels about morning routines and million-dollar mindsets. She has none of that. Just a second-hand laptop, a crowded rented flat, and a voice she still hasn't learned to believe in. And then there's him. A lawyer. Sharp as a switchblade. He sits in courtrooms with mahogany walls, drives a black sedan, reads people like contracts he's meant to tear apart. Every second of his life is billable. Every look, calculated. He has no space for distractions, especially not in the form of awkward girls who speak too softly and fumble with their bag straps. But life has a strange way of stitching together two people who were never meant to meet- and yet, when they do, the silence feels less lonely. This isn't the story of prodigies. It's of two people still building themselves- and quietly, without even realizing, becoming each other's home.
