Tarini Jaykar was meant to be a bridesmaid, not the bride. Thrown into a marriage she didn't even see coming, she brings chaos, sarcasm, sharp eyes, and a mouth that forgets to behave. She's angry, defensive, and painfully aware of the man she now shares a home with. Carved out of duty and discipline, Dhruv Agnihotri is all restraint and quiet heat; a complete contrast to her. The kind of man she vowed not get involved with. Wanting him feels like betrayal, rebellion and trouble she definitely shouldn't crave this much. Dhruv Agnihotri lives by order, logic and duty. In his world, there is no place for emotions and fragility. Certainly not for selfishness. Until Tarini Jaykar storms into his house and wrecks the carefully crafted balance of his life. She is emotional, loud, spontaneous and inconveniently attractive. What was meant to be a dutiful and distant marriage turns tense, intimate and dangerously charged. He shouldn't react to her. He shouldn't feel vulnerable. He definitely shouldn't want her like this. But restraint cracks fastest when temptation sleeps just a few feet away.

When an unserious lawyer meets an unserious teacher, sparks fly as the vicinity is plunged into darkness. It's a simple grocery run. What could go wrong?

Varsha Sharma had always believed life unfolded in a straight line-one step after another, one dream leading gently into the next. She had love waiting for her, wedding rituals filling her days, a brother and sister-in-law who were her world, and two little souls who filled the house with laughter. Everything was set. Everything was certain. Until the night everything changed. In a single, cruel moment, her perfect life shattered, leaving her with two infants who clung to her heartbeat and a world that no longer made sense. Her marriage collapsed, her home fell silent, and every path she once dreamed of closed at once. But grief has a strange way of rearranging destinies. Pulled together by loss and bound by responsibility, Varsha and Ashwin Raina-strangers in every sense but devotion-find their lives stitched into the same story. He, the quiet, work-driven brother who lost a sister too soon. She, the bruised yet unbreakable girl who became a mother overnight. Together, they step into a marriage neither planned, building a family from the ruins of heartbreak, discovering strength in places they never looked, and learning that sometimes love doesn't arrive as a choice... but as a promise you make to those who can't make one for themselves.

Maithili has always lived life on her own terms. A fierce, independent woman, she refuses to bow down to societal pressures-even when her mother insists on her marriage. If she's going to marry, it will be on her conditions. No compromises. No settling. Abhi Ram, a devoted single father, has built his world around his three-year-old daughter, Myra. Love, romance, and marriage were never on his priority list-until Maithili walks into his life, turning his carefully structured world upside down. When Maithili and Abhi Ram are brought together by fate (or perhaps by meddling families), their worlds collide in a whirlwind of tension and uncertainty. Two opposites, bound by fate yet divided by their differences. Will Abhi Ram accept Maithili's bold conditions, or will his pride stand in the way? Can she embrace a life where she is not the only priority? Will their bond remain a mere friendship, or will love sneak into the equation? Can Maithili adjust to the challenges of becoming an instant stepmother to Myra, or will her desire for independence push them apart? As they spend more time together, lines blur, and emotions simmer beneath the surface. But just as they start to find common ground, secrets from Abhi Ram's past threaten to unravel everything. In this journey of emotions, choices, and unexpected connections, destiny has its own plans. But will they surrender to it? Or will their differences pull them apart? "An unexpected love story where an arranged marriage transforms into passionate affection, is a heartwarming tale of love, commitment, and the fine line between companionship and something deeper."

Dr. Arzuu Sethi is brilliant, grumpy, and dangerously incapable of ignoring a patient in trouble. Dr. Anshuman Khanna is sunshine in scrubs-charming, infuriating, and always there to pull her out of disasters she insists she had handled. Their families have been inseparable for years. Arzuu calls his mother Mumma, his father Papa Buddy, and their actual son her lifelong enemy. Working together at Savera Multispeciality Hospital means facing baffling symptoms, hidden crimes, medical scandals, and patients whose stories rarely match their files. But when photographs of Anshuman rescuing Arzuu spark rumours that threaten her career, their families offer an outrageous solution: marriage. Now the enemies must share a home, protect their professional reputations, and survive increasingly dangerous cases without murdering each other first. Yet somewhere between one bed, midnight emergencies, public accusations, and Anshuman's terrifyingly protective smile, their arranged marriage begins feeling far too real. Because the most difficult condition either doctor will ever diagnose might be the one neither of them wants cured.

Love, Written Later "Some people meet the love of their life before marriage. Some only meet them after saying 'I do.' " When Hana Siddiqui discovers she's pregnant, it should have been the happiest day of her life. Instead, it arrives at the worst possible moment. After two years of marriage, she and her husband, Ayaan Mirza, have become strangers sharing the same home. There was never betrayal, never abuse and never a single moment that shattered their relationship. Just two good people who slowly disappeared into demanding careers, unspoken expectations and the quiet silence that settled between them. Now, with a baby on the way they're forced to ask the question they've spent months avoiding: Is their marriage worth saving? Ayaan believes a child deserves a home with both parents under one roof. Hana believes a child deserves parents who truly love each other. Unable to agree, they make one final promise. They will spend the pregnancy giving their marriage one last chance. As they slowly learn to become friends again, forgotten memories begin resurfacing. Through the story of how two broken hearts agreed to an arranged marriage, how they tried to build a life together, and how they quietly lost each other along the way, they begin discovering something neither of them expected. Maybe love was never missing. Maybe it was simply late. A tender, slow-burn romance about arranged marriage, second chances, healing, family and the beautiful truth that some love stories don't begin before the wedding. Sometimes, they're written afterwards.

Dr. Ira Mehta had three rules in life. One: never panic in the labour room. Two: never let hospital gossip affect her blood pressure. Three: never, under any circumstances, get involved with Dr. Reyansh Khanna. Unfortunately for Ira, life had a terrible sense of humour. Reyansh Khanna is Seaface Lifeline Hospital's golden-boy cardiologist. Calm, controlled, annoyingly talented, and somehow loved by every patient, nurse, senior doctor, and aunty within a ten-kilometre radius. He is also Ira's childhood enemy - the same boy who beat her in school competitions, ruined her peaceful childhood, and grew up into the kind of man everyone praises just to irritate her. Ira is a gynaecologist who believes in instinct, emotion, and fighting for her patients even when the rules get complicated. Reyansh believes in discipline, protocol, and not letting Dr. Ira Mehta turn every hospital corridor into a battlefield. They have avoided each other for years. Until one stormy Bombay night, Ira delivers a baby girl whose mother leaves behind one impossible request: Protect my daughter. Suddenly, Ira and Reyansh are dragged into hospital gossip, legal complications, family pressure, sleepless nights, and one tiny baby who refuses to sleep unless both of them are in the same room. Their solution? A marriage neither of them wanted. A sindoor neither of them planned. A family neither of them expected. Between night duties, diaper disasters, cafeteria fights, nosy relatives, and a baby who somehow becomes the boss of two highly qualified doctors, Ira and Reyansh must pretend to be the perfect married couple. But the problem with pretending is that sometimes the heart forgets it was acting. A light-hearted Bombay medical rom-com about childhood enemies, forced marriage, found family, and two doctors who accidentally fall in love while trying not to kill each other. No cheating. No love triangle. Just scrubs, sindoor, stethoscopes, and a whole lot of chaos.

One night. One mistake. One life-altering consequence. When Ira Kapoor, a girl born into wealth and perfection, wakes up to two pink lines and a blurry memory, her carefully curated world unravels. The father? Anirudh Sharma-a grounded, soft-spoken manager at an event firm, older than her by a few years and miles apart in lifestyle. Neither love nor even friendship ties them together. Only a moment of impulsiveness they never meant to share-and a child they never planned to create. Forced into a sudden marriage to preserve her family's honour, Ira finds herself in a modest home, far from the comforts of her past and with a man she barely knows. Her heart resists, her pride rebels. Middle-class life feels suffocating, and Anirudh's quiet existence is a world she doesn't understand. But beneath the surface of their mismatched lives is something unexpected-kindness that doesn't demand, patience that doesn't waver, and a slow-burning bond that begins to take root. As monsoon skies roll above and the seasons shift, so do their hearts. Love doesn't arrive in grand gestures-it seeps in gently, through shared cups of tea, silent understanding, and the quiet promises of two people learning to walk a path they never chose, but might just learn to call home. Under the Same Sky is a tender, evocative tale of accidental beginnings and unexpected love-where two strangers become partners, parents, and perhaps... soulmates. "They weren't a fairytale-but under the same sky, they learned how to write their own." ❤️ (The chapters are edited with the help of Chatgpt) Started : 22 June, 2025 Rankings: #1 in destiny - 15.02.2026 #1 in richgirl - 24.03.2026

"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second.
