Avanti believes in sunshine, second chances, and talking to strangers, especially the ones who look like they need a friend. One quiet morning on her terrace, she meets her new neighbor: a brooding, sharp-eyed boy who clearly wants to be left alone. But Avanti has never been good at taking hints. He's new in town, new in school, and determined to keep to himself. She's loud, warm, and refuses to stop talking. What begins as one-sided conversations on rooftops slowly turns into unexpected companionship and maybe even something more. In a story about morning skies, reluctant friendships, and hearts finding their way, When You Looked My Way is a charming, slow-burn romance where opposites don't just attract-they transform.

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

He grew up forgetting her face. She grew up remembering everything. Roohi doesn't speak, not because she can't, but because her voice was stolen in a childhood accident.
