Khushi is a very reserved girl while Ishaan is outgoing. Ishaan proposes to Khushi and he expected an answer by the morning where the journey ends, but to his surprise when he woke up, Khushi was nowhere to be found.

Ishaan joins college and about three months have passed and he has no idea where Khushi is. To his surprise, he finds Khushi and she tells him that she enrolled in his college just for him by paying a lot of money. Khushi gives a lot of signs that she is in love with him but she doesn't say those 3 words to Ishaan which he tries extremely hard for.

Their love blossoms and eventually they break up because of Ishaan's impulsive nature. Six years have passed and Ishaan is a successful student, topping his college, but is unable to forget Khushi.
