Chhaya-Varchas Radiance of Shadows Thousands of years ago, during the fierce war between the Devas and the Asuras, a divine weapon known as Chhaya-Varchas was lost to Earth - and with time, forgotten by all. Until now. In the age of Kaliyug, whispers of its existence reach the ears of a powerful Asura. Bound by cosmic law, he cannot descend to Earth himself - but his dark will is carried out by the Pishachas, shadowy spirits of the night. The weapon can only be awakened through a ritual soaked in human blood - a sacrificial offering that will shatter the last barrier between darkness and domination. But what the Asura doesn't know is that Chhaya-Varchas chooses its own warrior. And it never chooses lightly.

One was made to survive-with fists, with fire, with no one but herself. The other lived with his heart wide open, never knowing the kind of storm love could bring. She was born of fire. He was made of light. She doesn't know fear. She doesn't know safety. She only knows how to fight, how to run, how to keep breathing when the world wants her gone. And then- She meets him. Soft where she is steel. Steady where she is chaos. And somehow, without asking, he becomes the only thing that feels real. She was never meant to love. But love doesn't wait for permission. It strikes like lightning. Burns like truth. And the fire inside her-the one no one ever tamed- It remembers him. This is not a gentle story. It's a story of scars and sparks. Of two souls crashing through fate to find each other. Of a girl who carries fire in her bones, and the boy who sees past the flames to the heart she never knew she had. Because sometimes, the greatest strength isn't in how fiercely you fight- but in who you choose to hold on to when everything's burning.

Some loves are loud enough to be heard. Theirs was quiet enough to be felt. They didn't search for each other, nor did they know they were missing something-until destiny placed them in the same moment, the same space, the same breath. Fate never promised them ease. Instead, it offered distance over closeness, questions over answers, and a love that demanded patience before daring to whisper forever. Yet, in stolen glances and unspoken promises, they found home. Not in words or perfection, but in presence, in the quiet choice to love each other, over and over again. This is a story of a love that grows softly, hurts deeply, and heals slowly. Of two strangers who became soulmates-not by chance, but by fate. Because some hearts aren't found. They are claimed by destiny. And yet, destiny itself dares to test them, asking love a single question, is it brave enough to survive? TWO CITIES. TWO HEARTS. ONE LOVE.

He placed a file of marriage papers on the counter, sliding a pen across to her. His dark, sharp eyes locked on her every move. "Tarsou ge tum , tumhe uska deedar bhi naseeb na hoga.... Khwaaisch he meri ke tumhara pyaar kabhi poura na hoga"........ {"You will long for him, yet you will never get to see him... My wish is that your love is never fulfilled."} Aayesha said with a deep hatred filled in her eyes. "Mohabbat , dua aur baddua sirf kitabi bate he..... Haqeeqat mai iska koi wajoud nahi...... Zaya hojayegi tumhari Mohabbat ki talash........ Jab badlegi meri caahat, junnon me sirf tumhe pane ki"....... {"Love, prayers, and curses exist only in books... In reality, they have no meaning... Your search for love will go in vain... For when my desire changes, my obsession will be only to have you."} "Sign it. Now. The sooner you do, the sooner this becomes official." "This is not a pure love story. It's a cursed tale, where a haunted past shattered them, destiny entwined their paths, and fate gave them a chance-however fleeting."

After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. (A New Romantics Novel: Book One)

1990s~ Happiness. What does it mean? If someone had asked me this question, I would say it's when tears fall freely from your eyes, and a big smile is plastered on your face-when you don't know how to describe the feeling, the eruption of a literal volcano in your heart. That is a joy that comes from deep satisfaction. And I can see that clearly on her face-Rajkumari Ahana ji-as she looks at her man with a deep sense of love in her eyes. Her man, Arup ji, just wants to hold her in his arms as they announce their wedding to the whole kingdom. I clap for them as joyful dancing begins in the big hall. Commoners and royals alike are dancing together. Why not celebrate? It's the announcement of a wedding between the Rajkumari of Malana and a commoner-or I would say, a pottery maker. A tear of happiness rolls down my cheek without me knowing, as I feel their love to the core of my being. It was a great task for me to unite them. It feels good to see others happy. I feel like I've experienced this before, just like the Rajkumari. I gaze at the people of the whole kingdom dancing and singing. But suddenly, more tears roll down my cheeks... My gaze fixes on a man who is looking at me with the same expression as I'm looking at him... Shock, vulnerability-like a thunderbolt passes through our hearts at the same time. My grip on my lehenga tightens when I see his tears falling the same way as mine. He is the same man who comes to me in my dreams... Whose face is carved in my heart... Whose picture I draw on the ground while sitting by our old riverbank. How? Because I have never seen this man before... but he is real!~ _______________________________
