Preface.

This is not just a story of an arranged marriage.

It is a story of quiet strength, unspoken promises, and love that chose to stay—when walking away would've been easier.

Rudrakshita: Their Arranged Love is born from the idea that sometimes, the most unexpected connections become the most unbreakable bonds. Rudransh and Akshita didn’t fall in love in the conventional sense. There were no grand proposals, no long-drawn courtships. Instead, there was an agreement—a decision made with respect, maturity, and the hope of something beautiful ahead.

But life, as always, had other plans.

When tragedy struck and Akshita's world turned upside down, their story could have ended right there. But Rudransh’s love wasn’t based on conditions—it was rooted in something deeper. He didn’t see her wheelchair; he saw the girl who smiled through pain, who hesitated but never stopped trying.

This book is a journey through emotions—of a girl who feared becoming a burden and a boy who only wanted to lift that weight off her soul. Of families torn between heartbreak and hope. Of rituals that went on not just as tradition, but as silent acts of courage.

To everyone who believes love should only come after perfection—this story is a reminder that real love begins when everything else breaks.

Let Rudrakshita’s story show you how beautiful it is…to fall in love with someone's scars—and still say, "I choose you."
