Shivansh Yadav is 25 and already carrying a life most people take years to build. An Air Force officer, he lives between discipline and duty, where emotions are meant to stay controlled and words are used only when necessary.

He has curly black hair that never really stays in place, black eyes that notice everything but reveal very little, and dusky olive skin marked by long days and longer responsibilities. At six feet tall, he has a presence that commands attention without trying. His smile is rare—but when it appears, the dimple makes it impossible to ignore.

Shivansh isn’t loud. He listens more than he speaks. Calm on the surface, slightly rude when misunderstood, and constantly juggling responsibilities like it’s second nature. Multitasking comes easily to him—feelings do not.

He believes in control. In structure. In doing what is right, not what is easy.

And yet, somewhere beneath the uniform and the silence, there is a man who feels deeply… even if he never learned how to show it.

Sudha Das is a 21-year-old Bengali girl with a bubbly personality and a heart full of quiet dreams. She's 5'2,laughs easily, talks freely, and has a way of making people feel comfortable without even trying.

She loves to paint—art runs in her blood as it does for so many Bengalis. Colours are her escape, her comfort, her unspoken language. When she isn’t painting, she’s usually lost in fictional books.

Sudha wants to move out of home, not because she dislikes it, simply because she's a free spirit she wants to explore the world on her own. She’s studying paramedical, choosing a practical path, even though deep down she’s slowly drifting away from her true passion—art.

She’s emotional, but she doesn’t show it to everyone. Behind her smiles and cheerful talks, she hides feelings that only a few ever get to see.
