Arzoo Vashishat

Arzoo is twenty-one.

An MBA student, living away from home for the first time.

She is five foot five, slim, and carries herself with an easy grace. By conventional standards, people would call her beautiful. Fair complexion, expressive eyes, and a smile that feels warm rather than striking. But Arzoo has never been someone who tries to stand out. Her presence is gentle. You notice her slowly.

She is not loud. She doesn’t like attention.
She speaks less, observes more, and carries her world quietly.

Raised by a single mother after losing her father at a very young age, Arzoo has grown up watching strength in its simplest form. Waking up every day, doing what needs to be done, and never complaining.

She believes in routine, hard work, and small joys.
A balcony in the evening.
A walk after dinner.
A phone call from her mother.

Arzoo is still figuring life out.
She doesn’t have big answers yet, only honest intentions.

She is soft, but not weak.
Independent, yet deeply rooted in relationships.

This is her coming-of-age story. About learning, unlearning, and understanding what truly matters.

Sahir Sachdeva

Sahir is twenty-nine.

He is tall, around five foot ten, with a naturally fit build. Neither bulky nor lean. No six-pack abs, but a strong, well-maintained body. His biceps are noticeable, his presence steady. He is impressively handsome, but it is his calmness that makes him stand out.

Sahir is quiet by nature.
He doesn’t raise his voice.
He doesn’t seek attention.

He believes in doing his work quietly and doing it well.

Born into a warm, supportive family, Sahir values respect, responsibility, and kindness. His parents keep him grounded, and his elder brother lives abroad. Despite everything he has achieved, Sahir lives simply.

He is observant, emotionally mature, and deeply respectful, especially towards people who are younger or more vulnerable.

In a world full of boys, Sahir is a gentleman.
And you will see why, as the story unfolds.

Sahir doesn’t try to impress.
He simply shows up when needed.

As for what he does for a living, no, he is not a mafia boss.
Not a billionaire.
Not a king either.

You can take your guesses, or wait for the chapters to reveal it in their own time.

In a world that often confuses power with importance, Sahir represents steadiness, decency, and quiet strength.

About the Book

Hi, my name is Gauri.
This is my very first book.

This story has lived in my mind since I was around fourteen or fifteen. Even back then, I knew that whenever I started writing, this would be the one.

I have put a lot of heart and honest effort into this story because I truly respect your time as a reader. I hope you feel something while reading it. Comfort, excitement, emotions, or even thoughts that stay with you after you close the chapter.

This book has romance, emotions, family, relationships, and choices. Beyond the romance, it explores emotional intelligence, a beautiful chosen sibling bond, friendships, family, quiet faith, healthy relationships, and the realities of career and life.

Like I said before, this story feels like watching your comfort movie again and again.
Familiar. Warm. Safe.
You will sense calmness in this story. It might even make you blush at times.

There is a lot in this book. Please be patient with the story and with the characters. Everything unfolds slowly and with purpose.

Since this is my first attempt, I know there will be imperfections. I am completely open to reviews and criticism. Good or bad, everything helps me grow.

If this story connects with you and finds its readers, I would love to continue writing and updating this story.

Thank you for being here.
I hope you enjoy the journey 🤍
