She had rules for everything-how to speak, how to feel, how to survive. He broke every one of them just by walking into the room. Pranathi Rao was taught to survive quietly. She learned to be useful before being happy, strong before being soft, and grateful for whatever love reached her — even when it hurt. Her marriage to Ishaan Dev was not a rebellion or a rescue. It was a practical decision made by two people who believed stability mattered more than desire. But some lives are built on endurance, not peace. And some kinds of love don’t arrive loudly — they wait, they notice, and they stay. Margins of My Heart is a story about misunderstood sacrifice, chosen family, and the slow unlearning of perfection — told through a woman who was always strong enough, and a man who saw what that strength was costing her.
