Dear Reader,

Welcome to Riwaayat.

Every family has a history, some preserve it, some bury it and some spend generations paying for it.

This story begins long before Yatharth, Dhriti, Rudraksh, and Sanskriti ever crossed paths. It begins with a wound left untreated, a betrayal never forgotten, and a hatred that grew strong enough to divide two families for years.

Yatharth and Rudraksh have spent their lives carrying the weight of a past that was never theirs to begin with. A past filled with unanswered questions, shattered trust, and a desire for revenge that refuses to fade. For them, revenge isn't a choice—it's a promise.

But revenge has a way of demanding sacrifices.

And sometimes, the people caught in the crossfire are the ones least responsible for the war.

Dhriti and Sanskriti never asked to become part of a battle that started long before them. Yet fate has a cruel way of intertwining lives, forcing hearts to choose between loyalty and love, vengeance and forgiveness.

This story is filled with intense emotions, family rivalries, secrets, heartbreak, passion, and characters who are far from perfect. They will make mistakes. They will hurt each other. They will love fiercely. And they will discover that some wars are easier to start than to end.

As you step into their world, I hope you experience every moment—the anger, the longing, the tension, the heartbreak, and the love that grows in the most unexpected places.

Thank you for giving Riwaayat a chance.

Now turn the page.

The war has already begun.

With love,

Kitabijalebi ✨
