Dedication.

To the ones who believe that love isn’t always loud, perfect, or easy—

That sometimes, it begins in silence, grows through storms, and survives not because it’s magical,

But because two people choose it—again and again.

To those who have faced life’s unexpected turns—be it heartbreak, illness, or the sudden rewriting of their dreams—and still chose to stand up, smile, and move forward…

This story is yours.

To every woman who has ever questioned her worth because of circumstances beyond her control—

Akshita is a reminder that strength comes in many forms.

That you are more than your struggles,

And that you deserve a love that doesn’t see you as broken,

But as someone beautifully human.

To every man like Rudransh, who redefines masculinity with quiet strength, gentleness, and unwavering loyalty—

May the world be kind enough to create more hearts like yours.

To families who hold each other through uncertainty,

To friends who stay when others leave,

And to those who find courage in commitment—this book is stitched with your spirit.

And finally…

To the reader holding this book in their hands—

Thank you for giving Rudrakshita a place in your world.

May it remind you that even in the most imperfect circumstances, love can still be the most beautiful decision you make.

With all my love,

— Akshvi
