Ruhani Sharma (26 years) :

Ruhani is a quiet force wrapped in grace. A government employee by profession, she moves through her workday with calm precision, her poise unshaken by the noise of the world. After hours, she slips into her cherished hobby of tarot reading, her low, soothing voice and keen intuition drawing strangers who seek guidance. Though innately kind, life has taught her to mask that softness with a veneer of quiet toughness; she knows when to stand her ground and how to keep her heart guarded.

An introvert at heart, Ruhani treasures the simple rhythms of family life. She dreams not of wealth or glittering success, but of a home where love, respect, and shared moments matter more than status. A devoted daughter and caring sister, she places her parents and brother at the center of her world. Beneath the serene exterior lies a woman of quiet strength and tender hopes—someone who longs for a husband who will cherish her, children to nurture, and a life built on warmth and mutual care. Though private and self-contained, Ruhani carries within her a steadfast heart, ready to give love fully once she finds the one who values the simple, enduring beauty she offers.

Vardhan Ranavat (32 years):

Vardhan Ranavat is a man carved from ambition and resolve. The heir to a powerful business empire, he fights every day to keep his family's name untarnished and their fortune secure. Competitiveness burns through his veins; in boardrooms and at home, his word is law, and no one—family or rival—dares challenge the decisions he sets in stone. If danger ever brushes against those he loves, he will go to any length, fair or ruthless, to shield them. Victory is not a desire for him but a necessity, the ground on which his identity stands.

Yet behind the iron control lies a restlessness he never names—a quiet ache for meaning that wealth and triumph cannot soothe. When a voice unlike any other drifts into his life, calm and perceptive, it stirs something he has long buried. Ruhani's gentle wisdom threatens to soften walls he believes unbreakable. Whether she will mend the relentless heart of a man who lives by dominance, or be forced to stand as another silent figure in his unyielding world, neither of them yet knows—but the question hangs between them like a spark ready to catch.

Vardhan first hears Ruhani's voice by accident, a soft, steady cadence that threads its way into his mind. He doesn't see her face—only her hands, shuffling tarot cards with grace and intention—but something about the way she moves, the calm authority in her gestures, latches onto him. Each reading pulls him deeper, from casual questions to matters of life and destiny, until he realizes he cannot stop thinking about her. Obsessed, curious, and captivated, he resolves to find her, to possess the presence behind the voice he cannot forget.

But Ruhani is cautious, private, and unyielding in her boundaries. Their eventual meeting promises sparks, tension, and slow, excruciating collisions of desire, pride, and trust. How will a fiercely protective, competitive man and a delicate, self-contained soul navigate the turbulence of marriage, obsession, and love? Only time will tell.
