*CHARACTERS*

Anvi Malhotra is a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, currently studying in Class 11, and her arrival is anything but ordinary. She is a dreamer with depth... someone who feels intensely but thinks even more profoundly. A calm confidence surrounds her, subtle yet undeniable, reflected in her observant eyes that notice what others often miss. Anvi isn't loud or attention-seeking; she prefers listening over speaking. Yet when she does speak, her words have a way of making people pause and truly listen.

Wattpad novels, music, and midnight thoughts are her safe haven, the places where her creativity breathes freely. Above everything else, she carries an unshakable devotion to her Laxmi Maa in her heart. Strangely, she also keeps a distance from Morepankh (peacock feathers), avoiding them without ever explaining why.

Love was never part of her plan. Feelings, she believed, only distracted and destroyed balance. But plans have a way of collapsing when Avighna enters her world, someone she never intended to notice, let alone feel drawn to. What begins as indifference slowly turns into curiosity, and curiosity into something far more dangerous. With Avighna, Anvi starts feeling emotions she never allowed herself to name, forcing her to face parts of her heart she thought were buried long ago.

Avighna Rawal is a seventeen-year-old boy who joined the school only a few months ago and currently studies in Class 12. He carries a bold aura and has a sharp way of understanding people, often noticing the smallest details that others tend to miss.

A strict follower of rules, Avighna still believes in doing things his own way and never hesitates to speak up when something feels wrong. He comes across as fearless and a little reckless, someone who isn't afraid to challenge situations head-on.

Yet beneath that tough exterior lies a heart that is fiercely loyal and deeply protective of the people he cares about. That is why he is preparing for the NDA ...the very first step toward turning his dream of serving in the Indian Navy into reality.

Prapti Malhotra

The eldest of the Malhotra siblings, Prapti carries herself with a perfect blend of grace and mischief, a combination that makes her impossible to ignore. There is an effortless confidence in the way she walks, a quiet spark in her eyes that hints at both warmth and trouble. Currently pursuing her B.Sc, she does well academically, but her heart has always leaned toward the Arts, the canvas, the colors, the beautiful chaos that allows her emotions to spill freely. Creating feels natural to her, almost like breathing. In a world that often feels too loud, art becomes her escape, her comfort, and her truest form of expression.

Family means everything to Prapti, and she wears that love unapologetically. Her bond with her younger siblings is fierce, unbreakable, and deeply rooted in devotion. When it comes to Anvi, that love only multiplies, bordering on a protective obsession that she doesn't even try to hide. She notices the smallest shifts in Anvi's mood, senses unspoken pain, and steps in long before anyone else realizes something is wrong. She will fight, fuss, scold, tease, and even embarrass them if needed, but at the end of the day, she stands like an unshakable shield, always ready to choose them all over the world.

And when it comes to K-dramas, Prapti doesn't just watch them... she lives with her entire soul. Late-night binge sessions turn into early-morning marathons, accompanied by snacks, blankets, and whispered squeals. She gets emotionally attached to fictional characters as if they are real people, cries over breakups that aren't hers, and smiles dreamily at love stories she secretly wishes for herself. Endless fan theories, replayed scenes, and dramatic sighs are simply part of who she is, because for Prapti, stories aren't just entertainment, they're another place where her heart feels at home.

Prapti Malhotra is a whirlwind of care, creativity, and just the right amount of chaos.

Yash Rawal

The eldest of the Rawal siblings, Yash has always been the quiet, dependable type...the kind of person whose presence feels steady and reassuring. Earlier living with his aunt, he spent years away from the comfort of his own home, learning independence sooner than most. Now, after the entire family has shifted to Delhi, he is back under his parents' roof, slowly readjusting to a life he once left behind. He doesn't talk much about those years, but they have shaped him into someone mature beyond his age, someone who carries responsibility as naturally as breathing.

Yash keeps to himself most of the time, preferring silence over unnecessary conversations and focus over distraction. He pours his energy into his work and responsibilities, believing actions speak louder than words. But beneath that calm exterior lies a heart that beats fiercely for his younger siblings. When it comes to them, especially Avighna...he would move mountains without a second thought. He may not always express his care openly, but he shows it in the little things: quiet support, unspoken understanding, and standing by them when the world feels heavy.

Currently midway through his B.Sc program, Yash has his heart firmly anchored in History. Ancient battles, fallen empires, forgotten kings, and stories of old civilizations fascinate him in a way nothing else does. He finds comfort in the past, in the lessons hidden within time, and in the idea that every story...no matter how old...still has something to teach. For Yash, history isn't just a subject; it's a place where his mind feels most alive and his soul feels at home.

Yash Rawal is a quiet storm of dedication, loyalty, and unspoken strength.

Daivik Malhotra

The middle Malhotra sibling...older than Anvi but younger than Prapti, Daivik is currently navigating the chaos of 12th grade with a surprising mix of focus and flair. He balances academics and creativity with ease, never fully fitting into just one box. There's an effortless charm in the way he carries himself, a quiet confidence that makes people naturally gravitate toward him.

Smart, creative, and always ready to help, Daivik has a heart that leans heavily toward the people he loves. He would do absolutely anything for his sisters, no questions asked, no conditions attached. Their happiness matters more to him than his own comfort. And beyond family, he shares a bond that has stood the test of time with Avighna...his childhood best friend, his partner in chaos, and the one person who understands him without the need for explanations. Their friendship is built on shared memories, inside jokes, and a loyalty that never wavers.

His passion? Colors. From rough sketches on the corners of notebooks to detailed digital designs, Daivik sees the world as a massive canvas waiting for him to leave his mark. He notices shades others overlook, finds beauty in the smallest details, and expresses emotions through art when words fall short. For Daivik, creating isn't just a hobby...it's his way of breathing, dreaming, and making sense of everything around him.

Daivik Malhotra is a protective, playful, and endlessly creative spirit who colors everyone's world around him.

Kirti Rawal

The youngest of the Rawal siblings, Kirti is Avighna and Yash's little sister, currently navigating the whirlwind that is 11th grade. Being the baby of the family comes with its own set of privileges and pressures, and Kirti balances both with surprising ease. There's an undeniable spark about her...something bright, restless, and impossible to ignore.

Back in Delhi, she's completely over the moon, and most of that happiness comes from knowing her two best friends are just around the corner. With them close, life suddenly feels brighter, louder, and infinitely more exciting. Laughter comes easier, days feel shorter, and even ordinary moments turn into memories worth holding onto.

Kirti might not have her entire future mapped out yet, but she knows exactly how to make the most of her present. In her free time, she's often scribbling secret stories on scraps of paper, letting her imagination run wild, or quietly observing the world around her. Sometimes her eyes sparkle with mischief, sometimes they soften with unspoken dreams...but one thing is certain: Kirti carries a world of stories inside her, just waiting to be told.

Kirti Rawal is a dreamer, a storyteller, and a spark of chaos wrapped in giggles.

Anika Rajvash

Anika has been Anvi and Kirti's childhood best friend, practically inseparable from them for as long as they can remember. From sharing school benches and tiffins to whispering secrets during boring lectures and staying up for late-night calls, she has always been the kind of friend who simply gets you. With her around, nothing ever feels too heavy, because she has a way of turning even the dullest moments into something special.

Currently navigating 11th grade, Anika is full of ideas, energy, and a playful dash of mischief. She talks fast, thinks faster, and somehow always manages to drag her friends into harmless trouble. Her laughter is contagious, her mood swings dramatic, and her presence impossible to ignore...in the best way possible.

While no one really knows her dreams in complete detail, one thing is clear...her heart is set on fashion designing and everything that glitters in the world of weddings and event planning. She often catches herself imagining flowing gowns, sparkling décor, pastel color palettes, and dreamy celebrations straight out of a fairytale. For Anika, the future may still be blurry, but it's definitely wrapped in glitter, creativity, and endless possibilities.

Anika Rajvash is a creative dreamer with a sparkle in her eyes, ready to turn ideas into magic.

Abhay Kaushik

A loud force in 12th grade, Abhay is the kind of person who physically cannot stay quiet. Silence makes him uncomfortable, so he fills it with commentary, observations, jokes, and completely unnecessary opinions. Somehow, most of what he says ends up being funny, even when he isn't trying. The kind of friend everyone trusts, Abhay knows when to step in with support and when to step back...but he will definitely narrate the entire situation while doing it.

Lately, he has caught Anika's attention, mostly because of how effortlessly entertaining he is. He flirts by accident, panics on purpose, and then over-explains everything. Despite all that chaos, he's surprisingly respectful and emotionally aware. He believes patience matters, boundaries matter, and feelings should never be forced. So instead of dramatic confessions, he settles for making Anika laugh and pretending that's totally enough.

His true passion? Plants. From tiny seedlings to overwatered disasters, Abhay treats gardening like a full-time emotional journey. He gives motivational speeches to his plants, names them, and gets personally offended when one leaf turns yellow. For Abhay, plants aren't just plants...they're roommates, responsibilities, and sometimes victims of his excessive love. Chaotic, talkative, and unintentionally hilarious, Abhay is impossible to ignore.

Abhay Kaushik is a calm, thoughtful, and quietly passionate soul who tends to people and plants with equal care.

Those eyes.

Dark, intense, and impossibly deep, fixed on me in a way that made my breath catch. There was no anger in them, no mockery, just a strange calm that pulled me in without warning. I couldn't explain why my heart started pounding so loudly or why looking away felt impossible. In that moment, it felt like the world had shifted slightly off its axis, leaving me shaken in a way I wasn't ready to understand.

~ Anvi Malhotra✨

This peacock feather... it reminds me of Krishna and Radha, the kind of love that people don't just feel, but worship. A love so pure that it became divine.

I know nothing in this world can ever match what they shared. Maybe no human love ever can. But what I feel is honest, and it comes from the deepest part of my heart. It may not be perfect, but it is real.

So, with your permission, can you please make me yours? Can you please do me the honour of calling me yours?"
