Book 2 of SOFT SERIES. In the vibrant streets of 1899 Calcutta, where tradition and change collide, two hearts from vastly different worlds dare to defy the odds. Pakhi Mukherjee, a spirited and confident college student with dreams of becoming a writer, finds solace in secret romance novels, forbidden by her orthodox society. Matthew Hemmings, a kind-hearted British university student and aspiring jewelry designer, struggles to balance his heritage with his admiration for the culture he now calls home. When their paths cross during an educational tour, curiosity turns into an unlikely friendship. Pakhi's sharp wit and innocence captivate Matthew, while his understanding and charm awaken feelings she's never known. But in a society bound by rigid norms, their growing bond is not just unconventional-it's DANGEROUS. As they navigate shared secrets, lingering glances, and the suffocating weight of societal expectations, Pakhi and Matthew must decide: Is their love worth risking everything? Or will the shadows of their divided worlds tear them apart before they've even begun? With themes of forbidden love, cultural unity, and self-discovery, Pakhi ~ My First Love is a slow-burn romance that will leave you longing for moonlit serenades, heartfelt promises, and the courage to follow your heart.

My fist clenched against the edge of the table when he pushed a hair strand behind her ear and leaned closer, what the fuck!! Why she is not pushing him away, why the fuck she is letting him be close to her. No!!! He is going to kiss her!!! Not at all. I had enough of this shit. Their lips were about to touch when I stood up from my seat and approached them. I pushed him before giving a hard punch on his jaw. " What the heck Shiv!!!!! " I heard her offensive voice from behind. I turned to look at her!! She went closer to him again " Zain, are you okay? " " Yeah , it wasn't that hard. " My blood boiled when she touched his jaw with her delicate hands. " Stop touching him!! " I pushed him again. " Why did you hurt him, what's wrong with you? " " What the heck is wrong with you, Sara?? What are you doing with him?? " She sighed before rolling her eyes " stop meddling!! " " I am not meddling!! " " Really?? " I stayed silent, noticing all the movements on her face!! " It's meddling Mr. Shivansh, you are no one to interrupt my good time with someone I love!! " Bold of her to use word love, as if I am going let her love someone else. " Love?? " I scoffed " I remember you saying you love me, just a week back "

How come you change this much? You love me right then why you always keep on insulting your love. " She said and he just scoffed before saying " I don't know what you are talking about. And I was just stating the facts and if you find it bitter it's not my fault. " But this time she decided not to act weak " Just shut up Aryan, you have no right to disrespect me like that, and if you are this much ashamed to call me your partner then you shouldn't have take me there, you always see my fault in everything , every time you do what comes to your mind, you talk to me when you want and shout on my face whenever you want. Today you have to tell me what the heck is your problem, why are you behaving like this with me. " He just ignored her words and turned towards the mirror, she angrily held his arm and shouted turning his face towards her " Tell me Aryan, I want to know.. " Before she could say something further he grabbed her arms harshly and slammed her on the nearby wall, she flinched by his actions and in no time he pinned her hands harshly on the wall " What do you want to know huh? Why are you disturbing me here ? Why are you eating my head instead of sleeping at this hour just because .. " He stopped talking by himself. Her cheeks were completely wet because of her tears, her breathing started being heavy. The room was filled with silence, he was glaring at her and the sound of her breathing and her light sobs were audible in the room. She started struggling to free herself from his grip but it was only making it worse for her. He tightened his grip on her hands and she gulped looking at her hands and she again looked at him, she noticed him continuously staring at her face. He stared at her red puffy eyes and then his gaze went down to her trembling lips . He leaned closer to her face and it might be the first time that Shalin doesn't like that , she was really numb but still she said " Aryan please stay away, you are making me uncomfortable . "
