Book 1 of "𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐐 𝐀𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐀𝐀𝐇" series INAYA'S POV Before me, he sits. After 7 long years-7 years of absence, he shows up. Yet, when I study his eyes, I find nothing but unfamiliarity. His once warm, brown orbs are now veiled with darkness, devoid of any emotions, with a coldness that chills the air. His rosy pink pigmented lips, which once used to mold in a tender curve in my presence, now refuse to smile. Am I looking at the same person? How can his face be so familiar, yet his essence a mystery? Is he the same person-the Ishaan I once loved? The love that remained unspoken seven years ago, the love that refuses to fade? Is he truly the Ishaan Shekhawat that resides in my memories, or a specter of the past, wearing a guise of indifference over the soul I once knew?

[𝐀 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐦-𝐂𝐨𝐦] Siya, Gargi, and Isha had only one plan for 12th grade- study hard, pass their exams, and avoid any kind of drama. They weren't interested in love, crushes, or anything that could distract them. Their motto? No feelings, just focus. But, of course, life had other ideas. Before they knew it, small crushes started turning into big feelings. Late-night calls, butterflies in the stomach, and a whole lot of confusion made their way into the picture. While trying to stay on top of studies, the three best friends also found themselves caught up in the chaos of teenage love. From silly fights to deep conversations, secret smiles to heartaches, Siya, Gargi, and Isha discover that growing up isn't just about marks and report cards-it's also about understanding yourself, your friends, and the unexpected turns of the heart. Yearning Hearts is a fun, emotional, and relatable story of friendship, love, and all the messy, beautiful moments in between.

| Teenage romance book, the romance we all crave inside ya keh skte hai pehla pyaar | [#AVYAYXISHQI] (slow updates) Mohabbat ek ehsaas hai... aur kismat ek aisa khel jo us din shuru hua jab tumhari zindagi me woh aaya - school ka famous boxer, jise tum pehli nazar me hi "annoying" declare kar chuki thi. Woh tumhe chhedta, irritate karta, tumhare har baat ka ulta jawab deta- jaise tumhe tang karna uska full-time hobby ho. Aur tum? Tum har baar ignore karne ka natak karti, par uski stupid si smirk tumhari tabiiyat kharab kar deti. Tum dono bachpan ke dost nahi the. Ajeeb si situation me new friends bane, aur dheere-dheere ek-dusre ki life ka woh hissa jo kisi aur ko pata nahi tha. Woh - tough outside, soft inside, a boxer with fire in his fists and chaos in his heart... pehle gir gaya. Tumhari awkward smile pe, tumhare attitude pe, aur tumhare uss "shut up" wale moment pe jise dekhkar woh melt ho jaata tha. Aur tum? Tum tab girti ho jab realize karti ho ki jo ladka tumhe sabse zyada irritate karta tha, vah hi tumhara safest place ban chuka hai. He fell first. She fell harder. New friends → lovers Pretty × pretty annoying Jealousy, eye-contact fights, training ke baad uska tumhe dekhte hi soft ho jaana- sab kuch dosti se zyada ho chuka tha. 💔 THEIR STORY Ek aisi mohabbat jo cute bhi hai, chaotic bhi... rom-com bhi, aur dard-bhari bhi. Ek pyaar jiske beech society, fear, ego, heartbreak- sab kuch aa jaata hai. Will they survive this? Is this the end? Or are they written in destiny to find each other again? Let's find out together.

"Cover your ears" Titli repeated her words. But Agastya was confused. "If I am covering my ears, then HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING?" Agastya almost shouted in frustration. He can't get enough of her. For him, Titli is irritating and cute at the same time. Umm cute mostly. " Agastya you don't need to hear me " Titli continued with a pout. " I just need to tell it you otherwise mere pet mein gurguri hogi" He was speechless. All his organs were dying because of her cuteness. But he sighed at the end. " Okay " Agastya whispered and just as Titli looked at him, he showed her his headphones. " I am playing a song. Say whatever you want now" he managed to tell her little roughly but deep inside he had some other plans. He did play a song but with no volume. "Say" " Hmm so..." She took a deep breath before starting. Her heart was racing. She knew she was hiding this from so long. But finally she got the courage to say it. Only because of his headphones. " I love you " Agastya's eyes winded with utter shock. The headphones, which had been securely placed over his ears, suddenly fell down. " What...." His whole face was painted in red. He could not understand how the hell she spoke the exact same words which was hidden in his heart. When a boy with unrelenting passion and a girl with a carefree spirit fall in love, what sparks?

She asked as soon as she reached the football ground. Her eyes scanning the whole ground only to see him but he is nowhere to be found. (Where is he? I am not able to find him) "Kisse dhund rhi ho tum?" A voice behind her spoke, following her eyes. (Whom are you looking for?). "Mere Krish ko." She replied answered, unawared of who is standing behind her. (My Krish) "Tumhara krish?" "Ha mera kris-" she turned around the person and to her shock it was krish, or should we say her Krish, looking handsome as usual, is now staring directly in her eyes with a smile. The time seemed to be stopped for both of them as they stare in each other's eyes.
