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. He's as theth pahadi as they come... and the last person Adrija expects to be paired with for an arranged marriage. But when two worlds - lattes and laaltains , collide and sparks fly in the most unexpected ways. Between misunderstandings, stolen glances, family drama, and the unmistakable charm of the mountains, Adrija begins to wonder... Maybe love isn't about where you're from. Maybe it's about where you're meant to belong. Now, between lattes and laaltains, Adrija must figure out if opposites just clash... or if they fall in love. "You belong in the city, Adrija." "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."

When respect, pride, and forbidden passion collide - what will win? Most important... will she survive being The Thakurain?

When Aastha met Veer, she knew they had a connection. However, the connection would be from two centuries ago, she never could have imagined. A love story that remained unfulfilled, broken by evil, and destroyed to ashes - whose reference hides behind the history and some, in the memories. Will this broken love story, ever get its deserved ending? A journey the two lovers promised to live? -Snippet- "This is awkward," Aastha said looking away. "What is?" "Us. We were friends in childhood.. but it feels like a lifetime ago.." "Maybe it is." Veer laughed. Aastha rolled her eyes. "How about we start to get to know each other? Will that be less awkward?" Veer asked. Aastha smiled, "That would be great." "Hi, I am Veer." "Hi Veer, I am Aastha." As they shook hands, staring deep into the eyes of each other, they felt the connection. A connection, from a lifetime ago. -- P.S: This is a story of reincarnation with a touch of history (fictional) and some horror elements.

He sat on the edge of the bed, spine straight but shoulders heavy. A fresh bandage wrapped around his head, stark against his dusky skin. One hand rested limply in his lap. The other held a glass of water-untouched. His eyes weren't focused on anything in particular. His hair, still damp from a recent sponge bath, clung to his forehead. And then- A click. Silent. Subtle. But sharp, like a switch being flipped inside his mind. The glass in his hand shattered. Just a reflexive squeeze until cracks raced across the surface like spiderwebs and the shards sunk into his skin. He didn't flinch. Just stared. At his hand. At the blood. It pooled slowly, seeping between his fingers, dripping down his wrist. Red. Just as red as the sindoor. The red lehenga. The red rose in her hair that morning. The red lips he once swore to protect the smile of. The fragments of memory were blurry-muffled like sound underwater. But the color... the color remained. And then- The door creaked open. Soft footsteps. A voice, cautious. "Abhimaan-" It stopped when his gaze snapped up at her like a predator stirred too early from sleep. His eyes, once blank, were burning now. Red. Not from pain. From fury. His voice was gravel, low and cold. "Where is she?" She froze at his words. . . . . This story revolves around Abhimaan Raghuvanshi a respected advocate and his arranged wife Aarohi Birla/Raghuvanshi a child psychologist

Their interactions start subtly, with stolen glances and unspoken emotions lingering between them. As their worlds intertwine in the corridors of their medical college, Mishri finds herself captivated by Dev's silent yet profound presence. But Dev isn't someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. His love language is unspoken gestures-pulling out a chair for her, brushing his fingers against hers, and always being there in ways that Mishri slowly begins to notice. With every interaction, the attraction deepens, and emotions grow stronger, yet neither of them confesses. But love isn't easy. With Dev's father determined to separate them and challenges that test their bond, Mishri and Dev must decide-will their love withstand the storm, or will their story end in heartbreak? Dilakshi is a slow-burn, deeply emotional romance that explores love through silent gestures, longing gazes, and the pain of unspoken words-until love finally demands to be acknowledged. • • #1 "collegestories" out of 6.826k stories #20 "nerd" out of 31.6K stories #273 "teenromace' out of 118K stories #90 "teenlove" out of 37.2K stor
