By day, they are fire and stillness- a captain who burns too loudly, and a vice-captain who holds the world together in quiet. Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana never agree. Not in team meetings. Not at nets. Not in the dressing room. Their rivalry is legendary, their arguments exhausting, and the team is tired. By night, they are strangers. Under the usernames GrumpySmiles and TiddlyToes, they become each other's safe place-venting, listening, laughing, falling-without knowing the truth behind the screen. One is learning how to rest. One is learning how to be chosen. And somewhere between chaos and calm, love finds them in the only way it can- anonymously, accidentally, and far too honestly. A story about contrast, connection, and loving someone long before you recognize their face.

Ellyse Perry has everything-wealth, freedom, and a powerful last name. When her father announces her arranged marriage, she runs all the way to London to escape it. But rebellion doesn't pay the bills. After failure, exhaustion, and one humiliating night at a police station, Ellyse finally gives in and agrees to marry the woman her father has chosen. In India, Smriti Mandhana accepts the same alliance with quiet strength. Disciplined, grounded, and loyal to her family's promises, she knows Ellyse's reputation all too well-a spoiled heiress with a wild life and no sense of responsibility. Their marriage begins with obligation, not love. From sharp sarcasm to subtle care, teasing banter to slow understanding, two very different women are forced into the same life. What starts as duty slowly turns into something deeper. A slow-burn romance filled with teasing, growth, and emotional tension- this is a story about rebellion meeting responsibility, about learning to stand still instead of running, and about finding love in the one place neither of them looked for it. Because sometimes, the marriage you never wanted becomes the life you never knew you needed.

One sided love, or they thought it was? They believed their feelings weren't returned, but maybe the other person did feel something too - just unspoken or unnoticed.

She loved him with a madness the world could never understand. He feared her love more than his enemies. Preeta, a gentle yet strong-willed woman, gave her heart to Karan-the man the streets whispered about, a goon with blood on his hands and darkness in his soul. Her love was unconditional, unshaken by his rejections, his anger, and his desperate attempts to push her away. For Karan, love was a weakness he could never afford. But no matter how far he ran, Preeta's love followed like a shadow-painful, relentless, and eternal. When fate drags them apart, Preeta disappears, leaving Karan to finally face the hollowness her absence creates. And when she returns, stronger and more radiant than ever, Karan realizes that the love he once feared is the only salvation he craves. "Teri Deewani" is a tale of one-sided love that turns into destiny, of two broken souls who find wholeness only in each other.

***** _The air at St. Jude's always smelled of two things: freshly cut grass and ambition. It was a heavy, cloying scent that Ellyse Alexandra Perry had inhaled every morning for three years. To everyone else, Ellyse was the blueprint of the academy-a fusion of athletic grace and academic precision. But as she stood on the balcony of the athletic wing, watching the new intake of scholarship students trickle through the iron gates, she felt a familiar, hollow boredom. Then, she saw her.......!!!?

When Smriti Mandhana was twelve, she was told a truth so absolute it settled into her bones. Ellyse Perry was hers. It was decided over polite smiles and quiet laughter-two powerful families, two prodigies, an arrangement made too early to feel real. Smriti's parents and Ellyse's parents agreed to a future marriage as if they were discussing schools or summer plans. Ellyse laughed it off. She was thirteen, brilliant and careless, too busy chasing cricket and first crushes to take grown-up promises seriously. To her, it was a joke-something to be forgotten the moment the adults left the room. Smriti did not laugh. She listened. She remembered. She claimed. From that day on, the idea rooted itself deep inside her-silent, patient, unyielding. Ellyse was not a choice. Not a possibility. Not a question. She was a certainty. So when Smriti showed up uninvited to Ellyse's dates years later, smiling sweetly as boys fled under her quiet intensity, she wasn't being cruel. She was being consistent. You don't steal what already belongs to someone else. And Smriti Mandhana had never learned how to let go of what was promised to her.

Kiara had spent seven years telling herself the past no longer mattered. She patched up her wounds, buried every trace of him, and learned to live with a smile that never reached her eyes. A part of her still yearned, but she had taught herself to be at peace with the ache. But the moment Abhir walked through that door, everything she had rebuilt crumbled. Every heartbeat they once shared, every word they never said, came crashing back. The walls she had spent years shaping collapsed the second her eyes met the man who once held her entire world. She tried to act indifferent, as if he were a stranger-but how could she lie to herself? He wasn't just anyone. He was the man who left without hesitation, the man she believed would stay, the man she once trusted with every soft part of her heart. And now, standing there caught between anger and longing, she felt heartbreak rise all over again. Meanwhile, Abhir had spent seven years trying to become someone untouched by emotion. He focused on work, trying to revive the cold version of himself who cared for nothing. After the incident seven years ago, he moved to Japan with P Nanu, P Nani, Roohi, and little Daksh. Returning for a business meeting, he stayed in Udaipur a bit longer-he missed the city, and his sister Abhira. And something else he refused to name. He knew that one look at Kiara would shatter the life he had built far from the ruins of his past. He wasn't ready to face the pain he had left inside the woman who had once loved him more than herself. This is after the seven-year leap of YRKKH! I hope you enjoy it 💌
