"The more I push him away, the closer he gets." YASHIKA SHARMA A nerd who wants zero drama in her life. She enjoys being alone, writing stories, and living her low-key, private life. What she does not know is someone is reading every word that she has ever written. Starting at a new school for her final year is supposed to be simple. One year, and then she's gone. No drama, no complications, NOTHING. Then she met AHAAN MALHOTRA Popular, charming and a distraction that she never thought was coming. Sometimes, the people you never asked for become the people you need the most.

Smriti was seventeen - the age of crushes, late-night calls, silly butterflies, and secret love stories whispered in classrooms. Her classmates had boyfriends, heartbreaks, drama. And her? She had rules. Restrictions. And two overprotective bodyguards. Pretty, popular, and confessed to more times than she could count, proposals followed her everywhere. But before any "I like you" could even reach her, the boys were already rejected - not by her, but by her overprotective brother and his equally terrifying best friend. Atharv. Her senior. Her brother's shadow. Her personal villain. For him, she was just his best friend's sister - a responsibility, someone he had to protect from every "bad guy" in her teenage life. And for her, he was the reason her love life didn't even exist. The walking, talking security system she hated the most. She hated him. He tolerated her. But little did they know when that hate, that simple responsibility, and that "best friend's sister" tag would turn into something else... something neither of them expected, something they could never run from, something that slowly tied their lives together. Because sometimes the boy who ruins every love story... becomes yours.

Harman's world is small, just him and his little daughter Purvi. Being a single father isn't easy, but Purvi's giggles, stubbornness, and tiny hugs make every struggle worth it. She is his whole universe... his reason to smile after every exhausting day. Their life is simple, chaotic, and full of adorable father-daughter moments... until Anchal enters their lives. Anchal, a girl from Bihar, comes to the city looking for a fresh start. Carrying insecurities about her weight and constantly doubting herself, she rents a room in Harman's house as a paying guest. What she doesn't expect... is a tiny tornado named Purvi. Within days, Purvi claims Anchal as her person....dragging her into bedtime stories, snack time, and kindergarten dramas. Soon the quiet house is filled with laughter, playful arguments, and Purvi's daily complaints about her class rival Rihan. As days pass, the line between tenant and family slowly fades. Harman begins to notice how the house feels warmer when Anchal is around. Purvi has already made up her mind... But Anchal still believes she is only temporary in their lives. Between adorable childhood rivalries, heartfelt moments, and unexpected laughter, this story is about love finding its way into the most unexpected home. A heartwarming romance-comedy filled with cute chaos, healing hearts, and one little girl who might just be the best matchmaker of all. #indian 1 #romance 2

Ivaan Singh - quiet around most, but turns fun and open with people who feel like home. He knows how to love, but never really got love in return. With soft, shiny hair and a smile that can steal hearts, he looks cold and serious, but becomes clingy and sweet when he's in love. He's funny, a real roaster, and shines differently when he loves someone. 🐇🌷 Akira Mehra - a talker and a listener, but only opens up around people who truly want to listen. A girl's girl through and through - loyal, soft-hearted, and full of warmth. She's a writer and reader, someone who finds comfort in stories. Reality feels too heavy, so she often escapes into her fictional world where everything feels a little safer. With chestnut brown eyes and wavy hair, she's a proud Swiftie. A little chaotic, a little wild - but she'd do anything for the people she loves. 🐇🌷 Ivaan Singh had recently transferred from Section A to Section C. He was the class topper-quiet, focused, and known for speaking only when a nod wasn't enough to answer. That was the day he met Akira Mehra, the troublemaker girl in the class. She was average in most subjects but struggled badly with languages. Teachers often scolded her-not just for her mistakes, but also for her messy handwriting. Their class teacher decided to fix Akira's seat next to the class topper, hoping his discipline might rub off on her. As Akira turned to look at her new seat partner, her heart skipped. He was the same boy-the one she had once had a tiny-biny crush on, without even knowing his name. And just like that, her ordinary school days felt a little less ordinary. 🐇🌷 Since English is not my first language you are going to find a lot of grammatical as well as spelling errors in the book. I haven't proofread most of the chapters but I promise you that you will find improvements in my writing before the end of the book if you are patient enough to ignore the errors.

What is love? Is it about always staying together? Or about stepping back for the other person's happiness? Is it fighting, yearning, being happy, crying, surrender? Is it just one thing or everything? For me, it's everything. Because what kind of love is it, if everything comes easily? Where we don't end up crossing all seven stages of love.

Pranay Gupta absolutely had no business falling in love. He was simply at the right place at the right time. Context? His engineering had just gotten over. And as a responsible twenty-three-year-old graduate who had survived endless assignments, horrendous Vivas and brutal comments from professors, it was his moral obligation to go on a trip with his college friends before the actual corporate life began. After a thousand midnight chats, calls and chaos-Dibrugarh, Assam was finalised. Dibrugarh - a city nestled on the banks of River Brahmaputra, famous for its tea gardens and misty mornings. However, little did he know that this trip was going to introduce him to a young, jovial Assamese woman Mrinalini Baruah. It wasn't love at first sight as Bollywood movies romanticise. Neither was it a temporary attraction. With the way she laughed freely. With the stories she told about Assam. With the elegance of her traditional Bihu dance that left Pranay quietly mesmerized. What started as casual conversations slowly became shared cups of chai, sleepy sunrise walks, and endless baatein under open skies. Somewhere between tea gardens and stolen glances, friendship turned into something far more dangerous. And before Pranay could stop his racing heart, he had fallen deep into the pit named love.

Four self-reliant souls, Slowly learning to lose their urge to isolate themselves at every inconvenience. Welcome to a tale of glorious friendship topped with unconditional love!

✨PREM BANDHAN ✨ Vaidehi Rathore is loud, sarcastic, rebellious and far more capable than anyone gives her credit for. A good student with paint-stained hands, she speaks most honestly through colours, not words. Her world is devotion, paint love and kindness. Born into discipline and duty, she carries within her the grace of classical dance not perfect but enough from her mother. ------------------------------------------ He is everything she is not. ----------------------------------------- Dhruv Malhotra is steady, calm, and precise. A topper, a football forward, a boy shaped by logic and restraint. Emotionally distant,almost untouched except where she is concerned. Their love does not arrive like a storm. It settles slowly, quietly like something that was always meant to be. This is not a story of loud confessions or reckless romance. It is about devotion that grows in silence care that shows up without being asked and madness that learns how to stay. A bond that feels less like burden and more like choice & remembrance. ---------------------------------------- "Prem...prem hai hame aapse...bohot sara prem jaise aap Ram swaroop shiv bhakt hai waise hi mai aapki bhakt ban gayi!" She said holding the hem of his jacket, with tears glistening in her eyes, not falling, not yet ----------------------------------------- But their story does not stand alone. Around them, other hearts find their own way to love best friends who slowly realise they were always meant for more two opposites locked in constant conflict until love forces them to soften a quiet attraction that neither dares to name a bond born from loss, understanding, and shared healing Each side story carries a different shade of love chaotic, patient, hesitant,or healing all weaving into the same truth love is never just one thing PREM BANDHAN is a highschool love story inspired by divine love where fire meets steadiness, where devotion does not erase self, and where love becomes a bond, not a cl
