Ten years ago, her aunt ran away from a wedding that was meant to unite two powerful families. One broken heart led to suicide… and the start of a lifelong feud. Now, the mafia heir returns—disguised as a poor singer—sent to destroy the only daughter of the man who broke his family. But she’s nothing like he expected. A soft-hearted girl with a weak heart and big dreams… A writer who believes in love, even when her own is shattered. He never meant to fall for her. He never knew she was dying. On the day of their wedding, he broke her. And years later, karma broke him. Now, he lives only for their daughter… And one promise: “If I’m ever reborn… I’ll find her. And this time, I’ll love her right.”

Her Heart, His Revenge

📍Scene: University café, late afternoon – golden hour light pours in through glass windows. Maya is scribbling in her poetry journal. Aryan enters, guitar case in hand, hair tousled from rehearsal.)

I had this line stuck in my head all morning.

"The sun fell asleep in my chest, but my heart didn't rest."

Sounds like your heart has secrets.

(suddenly quiet, then fakes a smile)

🎵 "The sun fell asleep in my chest... but my heart didn't rest…" 🎵

Not bad?! That gave me goosebumps!

Maybe we should write an entire heartbreak album together.

Would we call it "Sad Girls and Broken Boys"?

More like "Pretending We're Fine."

That's what people like us do, right?

📍Scene: Rehearsal Room, Evening. Aryan with the band – Zayn, Rico, and Dev.

You're glowing, bro. Who's the girl?

Yeah, Aryan "Ice Prince" Malik smiling over poetry? The world's ending.

She's different. Her words aren't just pretty—they bleed.

Man, I've seen you fake identities, walk through fire, disappear from danger. But you're not ready for someone like her.

Don't worry. I'm just… collecting lyrics.

📍Flashback: 12-year-old Aryan with Uncle Rehaan. They're in a dim library in Delhi.

(Aryan scribbles lyrics: "The light in her broke the dark in me.")

📍Scene: Rooftop – night. Maya and Aryan sit side by side. The city lights sparkle. She looks a little pale but smiles softly.)

You ever feel like your chest is too full… like your heart's racing but you're sitting still?

I'm fine. It's just… sometimes it flutters. Like it forgets the rhythm.

But don't worry, it's nothing dramatic.

Hey, if I faint, just catch me. That's what co-songwriters do, right?

Always. I'll even write a song about it.

📍Scene: Aryan's room. He stares at a scribbled lyric sheet.

[Aryan – internal monologue]

"She's fragile in a way I can't place.

Like her smile is stitched over silence."

But every lyric starts to sound like her.

Every song feels like a confession I didn't plan to write.

📍Scene: Maya's house – her mother peeks into Maya's room, sees her journal open. Scribbled are phrases:

"His eyes make promises his voice won't say. "I want to tell him… but what if it changes everything?"

[Mom – whispering to herself]

She's smiling again. Just like before the hospital days.

*(She clutches an old medical file marked "Confidential – Congenital Heart Defect – Mild to Moderate") *

[Mom – whispering]

Please… let him be gentle with her heart.

📍Scene: Next day – Aryan gets a call from his father.

[Dad – harsh voice]

We've written a few songs together.

Good. Keep going. Remember why you're there. Don't forget what they did to Rehaan.
