Intro ✨

Hi cuties 🥰

Everyone should be fine .Because the weather is changing, so everyone take care of yourselves.

----------------------------------------------

Anaya agrwal (21)

In the crowded, chaotic lanes of Banaras, Anaya is just another face in the college crowd. While her friends are busy discussing dinner dates and anniversary gifts, Anaya sits at the back of the class, adjusting her earphones to drown out the noise. To her classmates, she is "the quiet one from Bhopal"—the girl who lives in a small PG and never has a "plus one" for the college fest.

When the PG lights go out, Anaya becomes someone else. Under the glow of her phone screen, she is an online writer. She writes about the kind of love she’s afraid to ask for—a love that doesn't demand her to change or hide. Her followers don't know her name, but they know her soul.

Tired of the pitying looks from her friends and the constant pressure to "find someone," she makes a reckless decision. She downloads a dating app, not for love, but for a shield.

"I don't need a soulmate," she whispers to the dark room. "I just need a lie that looks like the truth."

Ishaan Rastogi (26)

At 26, Ishaan is a Merchant Navy Officer who looks like he was carved from the salt and the sun. While his friends back home are chasing promotions in glass offices, Ishaan is navigating a 200-meter vessel through the monsoon swells of the Indian Ocean. He is a "simple man" in a complex uniform—calm, disciplined, and comfortable with the sound of nothing but the waves.

Ishaan isn't afraid of storms; he’s afraid of the satellite phone. Every time the network bars flicker to life, he knows what’s coming. His mother’s voice, filled with emotional blackmail and a list of "perfect girls" from her colony.

"Beta, she’s a teacher. Beta, she’s so beautiful. Just talk to her once!"

His refusal isn't because he hates love, but because he’s too honest. He knows his life is a suitcase and a contract. He doesn't want a girl to wait at a harbor for a man who might not return for six months. To him, "no time" equals "no heartbreaks."

Driven to a breaking point by his mother’s latest "ultimatum," Ishaan does the unthinkable. He creates a profile on a dating app—not to find a wife, but to find a shield. He needs a name, a face, and a "status" to show his mother so she finally stops searching.

"Just a few months of acting," he tells himself, looking out at the horizon. "One fake girl to save me from a thousand real ones."
