╰┈➤𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤-1 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 They were school sweethearts - Their love was soft, unspoken, and filled with laughter. Until one day, she shattered him in ways no one else ever could. She thought ending it would set them free,but he refused to let her go -not when his heart still beat for her. Because his devotion wasn't fragile; it was fierce, consuming, and eternal. He waited. He longed. He haunted the memories of her smile,the silence of her absence. No matter how far she ran,his soul always knew the way back to her. For she was never just a chapter of his past -she was his destiny,his devotion,his belonging love. 𝐀𝐛𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐮 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 × 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐡𝐢 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 ── .✦

[a desi rivals to lovers college story ] Pallavi wouldn't have cared for the Best Outgoing Student Award if not for her plan to escape from what she considers an awful fate. Winning the award is her ticket out of this country. She needs it. Turns out, Atharva Krishnan, her annoyingly attractive classmate, is aiming for the same award for reasons unknown. Sometimes, she wonders if he is only after it so he could piss her off. Atharva and Pallavi instantly become sworn rivals, grappling for a win over the other so it can fetch them the coveted prize at the end of their course. Who will win this battle of wits? By the end of three years, will they remain rivals or cross the line to become something more?

He's been irritating me from the very first day we met. I still remember that day vividly-I was crying, and instead of offering any kind of sympathy, he looked at me with that infuriating smirk and said I looked like a pig. Who does that? From that moment, he was permanently etched into my list of people to avoid. He's the guy who always comes in second place without ever seeming to study, at least not that I've seen. He never pays attention in class, and yet, somehow, he's always near the top. It's infuriating, really. And yet, here I am, breaking all my own rules, doing things that don't make any sense-for him. Why? I honestly don't know. I don't have a single good reason for these ridiculous actions I'm taking. Am I actually developing feelings for him? No. Absolutely not. There's no way. Not when I'm in my right mind. But then again... am I even in my right mind anymore? Rehaan Randheer X Saher Kulkarni Head boy X Head girl

Quiet, shy, the girl everyone forgot existed - until the day she crossed paths with Haroon Al Khadri, the golden boy who had it all. He laughed when others mocked her. She stayed silent when the world turned cruel. But life has a strange way of turning things around. Because one day, the same girl he once ignored... became the only one who could save him from himself. Now, Haroon can't stop noticing the light in her eyes - the warmth, the peace, the calm he never knew he needed. And Noor? She's not that timid girl anymore. She's fire wrapped in gentleness, strength disguised as softness. But can love bloom between two hearts that carry too much pain and pride? Or will their story be another lesson in timing-the right people, but the wrong moment? A story of heartbreak, healing, late-night confessions, and the kind of love that doesn't happen all at once-it grows slowly, quietly, beautifully. ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.

♥•.¸♡ 𝓙𝓾𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓯𝓲𝔂𝓪 ♡¸.•♥ This safar begins in quiet corridors and follows them into the same classroom years later. No big confessions. No dramatic proposals. Just glances that last a second too long. Just feelings that grow without permission. ✨ There's a childhood crush that never faded - loving each other since forever, but never brave enough to say it. There are childhood rivals who argue like enemies yet soften when the other one cries. There's a brother's best friend who crossed the line without touching it. A sister who loved quietly - watched him, waited for him, never asked for anything. A sister's best friend who understands him in ways no one else does. They sit side by side now. Older. Calmer. More aware of what they're not supposed to feel. ♦ Enemies turn into lovers. Best friends turn into lovers. Lovers turn into enemies. "Just friends" turns into "we shouldn't." She fell first. He fell harder. She cries easily. He notices every single time. She goes silent when she's hurt. He stays - without questions - until she feels safe again. Unwanted staring. Silent possessiveness. Late realization. Quiet heartbreak. Some love feels like destiny. Some feels forbidden in the softest way. And somewhere between these pages - A reader who sees her own almost-love in the story ✉️ A writer who hides pieces of her heart between the lines. ✧ Tropes in this safar ✧ ☆ Childhood crush ☆ Secret mutual crush ☆ Childhood rivals ☆ Enemies to lovers ☆ Lovers to enemies ☆ Best friends to lovers ☆ Brother's best friend ☆ Sister's best friend ☆ She fell first, he fell harder ☆ Slow burn ☆ Silent protective brother ☆ Soft forbidden love ☆ Late realization ☆ Quiet heartbreak ☆ Reader x Writer Welcome to ♥•.¸♡ 𝓙𝓾𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓯𝓲𝔂𝓪 ♡¸.•♥ ✨ Some love stories are meant to be felt... not announced. :･ﾟ✧ End of the beginning ✧･ﾟ: "Kuch safar ma

NEEDS EDITING He had loved her since the day he had seen her. He was always there, watching her from a distance, witnessing her happy and sad moments. His heart had only longed for her. She believed that love is an illusion, true love doesn't exists. Love destroys hearts and homes, but she was unknowingly falling for him. Her efforts of ignoring him, not loving him never worked and at last she fell for him, hard. He healed a piece of her soul that he never broke, made her believe that love exists and it is the most blissful feeling in the world. He made her his, Adhyay's Akriti
