I've Got My Eye On You || Wattys 2025 || ✔️

Arohi thrived in darkness-sharp, untethered, unwilling to surrender her heart. A PhD scholar who played by her own rules, love was nothing more than a fleeting indulgence.

Tathagata carried his past like a ghost-brilliant, brooding, and bound to silence. A history professor with ink-stained fingers, a cigarette between them, and a sitar that sang only to the solitude.

She never expected to see him again-the man she once adored, now a stranger wrapped in mystery.

Their reunion is electric, a pull neither of them can deny. But he carries baggage, shadows of a life she never knew. And Arohi? She isn't the same girl who once adored him from afar.

As passion collides with the ghosts of their past, they must ask themselves: Is this fate giving them a second chance, or are they simply chasing a memory that no longer exists?

A story of love, loss, and the choices that define us-will they rewrite their ending, or are they doomed to repeat it?
