He coughed, patted his chest and glared at her but she didn't even blink. There's no sympathy, no apology, just that calm, annoying composure. "Do I...Fuck!" He rasped, reaching for water then asked,"Do I look like that kind of person to you?" "Language, Mr. Rajput." She shot back, folding her arms. The sheer boldness of her tone almost made him laugh but he's enjoying it. "Logo ko dekh ke pata chal jata toh kya hi baat hoti, nahi? Who knows, you might torture me after marriage for not bringing any dowry?" She asked with a smirk. He stared at her for a moment then leaned in just to retort, "And what makes you think that even after getting dowry, you'll be safe?" Her throat went dry, but she didn't look away,"Exactly. In my opinion, shaadi is equal to barbaadi. So please, back out of this marriage and do both of us this favour." He smirked then slipped on his sunglasses,"I don't want anything from Mr. Rana... except his blunt-mouthed daughter. So yeah congratulations, soon-to-be Mrs. Rajput." He walked away, leaving her fuming and slightly breathless as she muttered,"Arrgh....arrogant idiot! " A soldier who hides his heart and a researcher turned assistant professor who denies hers, tied in a marriage that turns into the most sacred bond of all.

She likes cappuccinos. He likes chai in steel tumblers. She knows hospital corridors. He knows mountain trails. Adrija Pandey has spent her whole life in Dehradun - surrounded by city chaos and the comfort of knowing every street by heart. She's a doctor, certain her love story will be nothing like the small-town romances her mother keeps hinting at. Agastya Joshi is an Indian Army officer from the quiet hills of Almora - the kind of man who can fix a roof in the rain, find the sweetest kaafal on the slopes, and loves to sleep under a sky full of stars.

But when two worlds - lattes and laaltains , collide and sparks fly in the most unexpected ways.

"Then why do the mountains feel like home... when you're there?" *********************************************** "So... where do we fit? In your city cafes or my mountain nights?" "Somewhere in between, Agastya...𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙖𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨."

"Marry me", Shaurya Singh Shekhawat muttered with pure hatred in his eyes holding her arms in his vile grip "You hate me", Akansha Dixit said with fear and determination in her eyes "I do, and Retribution is my right", Shaurya said "And I have the right to a chance to justify myself", she said breaking with increasing hatred in his tone for her... "Like the hell, I will, you destroyed my sister and now it's your turn to get ruined", he spat... "You will marry me, or see your family die", he said "I will", she said losing the battle... "One last thing Mr. Shekhawat, the day you will know the truth, the rue will kill you", she said, he just scoffed walking away leaving her shattered at the same time making her stronger... If he thinks he could make her weak using her family, then he is in for a big surprise, thought Akansha with sheer determination... ************ 5 Years Later ************ "One chance is all I ask, Akansha", Shaurya begged sitting on his knees ignoring the fact that he is a Chief Minister, the most powerful man of the state... "You are 5 years too late CM sir", Akansha said with a cold face before walking away... "You are right... My rue is killing me every second", he whispered to himself Shaurya Singh Shekhawat, a man everyone in the state admired, people's favorite leader, a very well-educated Chief Minister, and the youngest person to take office in the country. Successful, that's what everyone think of him, but only he knew how much of a failure he is as a husband... Akansha Dixit, an aspirational student pursuing her Ph.D. in child psychology.

Why Just Listen, When You Can Read? Indian (Desi) crimes they're everywhere. We hear them on late-night podcasts, buried in dusty case files, or whispered in chilling documentaries. But here's the twist: what if you could read them instead told by someone who's obsessed with them? I'm not bragging (okay, maybe a little), but I have over 500+ hours of true crime listening last year alone. Yeah, that's a lot of dead ends, dark motives, and dusty police reports. Now, I'm bringing those stories to life in written form. Not just summaries, but gripping narratives that make you feel like you're right there sitting in a Mumbai police station or tracking a suspect through the back alleys of Delhi. If you're into spine-chilling crimes, Desi drama, and a geek's-eye view of the underworld, you're in the right place. Let's make crime readable again. It covers Indian Crimes, South Asian Community Cases, and more. ❝ Savdhan Rahe, Satark Rahe ❞

"They don't trust easily," she murmured, watching both of them. He glanced at her briefly, his voice quiet. "Neither do I." It wasn't a moment, not really. Just a fleeting exchange between two people who understood silence better than words. But later, much later, she would realize-that was the first time she saw him. And the first time he saw her. Rithvik Mehta was once a brilliant veterinary doctor - until the weight of one irreversible mistake shattered his belief in himself.
