I clutched my bridal saree tightly and sat nervously on the flower-decorated bed. My throat felt dry as I swallowed hard. I was about to lift my veil when the door creaked open. My eyes instantly darted toward him. He stepped in, removed his kurta casually, and came to sit in front of me. My heart pounded. I shut my eyes, but within moments, he gently lifted my veil. "Ankhein kholo," he whispered. Slowly, I opened my eyes. He was even more handsome than I had imagined-fairer than me, with eyes so deep and mesmerizing that they held me captive. My breath caught when he said softly, "Takane ke liye poori umar padi hai... abhi so jaaye." Embarrassment flushed my cheeks, and I lowered my gaze to my toes. But then he held my chin tenderly, guiding my eyes back to him. "Jaakar kapde badal lo," he said gently. I nodded, quickly rising to my feet. As soon as I stepped into the bathroom, I exhaled a long, shaky breath. Tonight was the first time I had seen him so closely... and yet, he was so unexpectedly gentle.

Aarav Malhotra-calm, disciplined, and the quiet strength behind Malhotra Empires-never expected that one accident could take away the very thing he used to lead: his voice. After a near-fatal crash leaves him with temporary vocal cord paralysis, Aarav finds himself surrounded by noise, decisions, and expectations-yet unable to speak a single word. Then comes Aadhya. Not a grand love interest, the most dramatic entry, a girl who happens to step into his life during a time when silence defines him. And somehow, her presence doesn't feel loud or overwhelming. It feels... right. No love at first sight. No fate. Just two people, learning to understand each other-in the quiet. 298 in romcom out of 33.3k stories. 19 july, 2025 14 in devotion out of 2.59k stories. 19 july ,2025. 18 in romcom out of 33.6k stories. 30 july, 2025 14 in romcom out of 33.6k stories. 1 August, 2025

Book 1 of the More Than Series "Some bonds are written long before they are spoken." At just six years old, Shivanya Chauhan was married off in the name of tradition. To her innocent mind, it was nothing more than a game of "playing house." But to Rudraksh Singh Rathore - sixteen, city-bred, and bound by his grandfather's dying wish - it became a silent burden and a sacred promise. Years passed. He left to chase his dreams - a soldier forged in the fire of discipline and duty. She stayed behind - a bride in waiting, her life molded by customs, her heart clinging only to his memory. Twelve years later, Rudraksh returns as a decorated officer, and Shivanya stands before him as a woman - no longer the curious child he once protected. Yet between them lies a bond that defies time, silence, and distance. Was it only a vow he had to fulfill? Or a love written in destiny long before either of them understood it? ✨ A tale of promises, longing, and a love that outlives tradition.

Yet, despite everything, they showed courage by choosing each other. And now-just when they begin finding their way back to each other-life had already changed.

She craves love, attention, and emotional connection, navigating her privileged but controlled world with patience and resilience. Their arranged marriage is a clash of contrasting needs: her desire for warmth and reassurance, his controlled, action-driven care. Survival depends on empathy, patience, and understanding, gradually discovering intimacy in unspoken gestures and shared responsibilities.
