Shivaay Singh Oberoi and Anika Wardhan Trivedi knew they were meant to be when they first met each other. A meeting arranged by their parents.


Being arranged for marriage, they had a courtship period of six months. Six months between their engagement and marriage. Love was inevitable. From the small greetings to the smallest gestures of affection the two fell in love with each other. Their story was perfect with the little imperfections and little banters. 


From respecting her to caring for her, he did all those little things which took him to her heart. She had never known she could love a man such! Tolerating his tantrums, pampering him with affection, fighting with him, and loving him to no end. She was the part of him, he had been incomplete for years without.


The marriage with the right person makes the waters of life calm and the journey of marriage enchanting. Theirs was an example. The romance was a soulful part of their endearing bond. From passionate yearnings to the limitless care their love was the perfect recipe.


Not all perfect things go in the same way

forever,


A year after the marriage Shivaay decides to set up his firm in California. He was skeptical about taking Anika along. A new country, strange people. He would be away for work then who would be with her? 


Anika protested and showed resistance to his decision. He convinced her to stay back with his parents and their family. In the end, as an obedient wife, she respects his decision and vows to take care of things when he is away. 


A painful goodbye,

A new chapter,

Embraces the two lovers.


The two begin facing the new struggles individually but with each other's love holding them strong.


Long-distance relationships exist,

But do relationships live healthy?


The time-lapse and new responsibilities start growing. Soon the climbers conquered the garden of love. Weeds and wildflowers all over but deep down love remains forgotten.


Six months was what he promised. In the sixth month, he asks for another six months. The family reluctantly agrees. He always wanted to be the best. If this is what takes him there, they will wait. But, what about her, his wife? What about the wife he left back home? Things go so wrong that the two barely talk over the phone.  But, what is in store when he returns?


Time changes people.

Time changed him.

Time changed her.

Did time change their relationship?

Did time change their love?

And,

What if it did?


Will they rekindle their lost love?

Or

Will they start afresh?



Will they succeed?

Or

Will their marriage enter the books of 

'failed marriages'?
