"You Can’t Hate Love" In high school, Preetah was consumed by thoughts of Arjun, the boy who stole her heart. Nights spent writing love letters—letters she never had the courage to show him—were the closest she came to confessing her feelings. But Arjun, raised by a strict father who drilled into him the importance of school over everything else, never saw her. To him, classmates were distractions, and Preetah was just another face in the crowd. Years later, Arjun has transformed into a dominant, self-absorbed alpha male—a wealthy, powerful figure whose only focus is his business, relationships—especially with women—are nothing more than a game to him. His father, convinced that marriage will tame his son’s reckless behavior, arranges a marriage for him with the girl who topped second after him in their high school rankings: Preetah. Now an ordinary teacher, Preetah thinks she’s about to marry the man of her dreams—the boy she once adored—but the reality is far from what she imagined. As Preetah’s dreams crash into the cold, hard truth, she finds herself torn between the past she clings to and the present she’s trapped in. Is there any chance the love she has for him can reignite the person Arjun used to be? Or will she be forced to choose between her dreams of a perfect love and the reality of who he’s become? ★Updates: every Friday at 12am UTC+2
