Always Anu

Ananya Iyer and Dhruv Malhotra have been rivals since the day they set foot in high school. Both top students, both relentless competitors, both determined to win the title of school captain. To everyone else, they are polar opposites-she's the quiet, disciplined perfectionist; he's the confident, charming troublemaker. But beneath the surface, their rivalry is anything but simple.

What starts as academic battles and heated debates turns into something far more dangerous-stolen glances, unspoken feelings, and a pull neither of them can ignore. But just as they begin to realize that hate was never really what tied them together, a truth from the past threatens to rip them apart.

Because sometimes, love isn't the only thing written in fate. Sometimes, the past has a way of coming back-through people they never expected, through secrets buried for years, through a mother who walked away and a family neither of them saw coming.

In a story where rivalry turns into something deeper, where enemies toe the line between love and war-how do you fight for something that was never supposed to exist in the first place?
