"You're right", she said, sounding contemplative, "Maybe I should grow up and be more practical." "Well...you know 'Princes on white horses' are 'fairy'-tales right?" Abhi said, air-quoting again. He was feeling relieved now that she was seeing some logic. "Yeah...but...I sooo wanted it! A guy who could brave the most terrible storms to rescue me, the sparks fly when we touched each other, the fastening of heart beats when we..." "Geez Siya! I get the point. I never guessed you lived in fantasy land! So in short I am exactly opposite to what you want?", his voice dripping of offence and frustration. Siya laughed. How like Abhi to get offended by some hypothetical guy who she hypothetically thought was better than Abhi. "No not exactly! But you are my friend Abhi, there's no spark!", she added with a hand gesture. Seeing him getting seriously irked, she smiled to herself. "Oh God! Siya-" "I know it is childish Abhi...", she took a short decisive pause, "and...that's why...I am ready to do this", she finished, her grin widening. "To do what?" Abhi asked, thoroughly bemused by the variety of expressions Siya was giving. "To marry you." *** Siya and Abhi have known each other since forever, being the children of two bestfriends and having spent all their lives in the same household. They transitioned from being partners-in-crime to business partners. So what happens when Abhi's Dad asks them to get married to each other?

Or will their life-long friendship bear the brunt of their conflicting ideas of love and relationships? Would Abhi and Siya's friendship last while they follow the age old tradition of 'Arranged Marriage'?

"𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞" Their meeting was not a coincidence; it was fate, wasn't it? Aayansh fell for her the very first time he saw her. He wanted her to be known as his QUEEN, but the world he lived in was darker than hers. He swore on his life to always protect her, but could he fulfill that promise? Divya was too scared to fall for any guy, but he entered her life and reignited the flame of love within her. Just when she was about to savor her life, something unexpected occurred.

He was everything she wanted and she was everything he was running from. Crush, that's what Amelia thought she had on her Brother's best friend but she couldn't do anything about it as he was 11 years older than her and most importantly married to a bitch. But now five years later, he is all alone in her hometown, Manhattan. He is not married anymore but he is still a decade older than her and in a way forbidden to her. But does she care? Absolutely not. He is not the same man she knew five years ago, he is the man whose shadow is enough to haunt people's entire existence. He is what we call a devil in disguise, feared by even the gods per say. Bound by his own demons he is trying nothing but to live his life without any sight of love but that's impossible when a little girl, who lives and breathes in love and kindness, wants to bring light to his dark world. But at the end of the day it's darkness which overpowers the light. She wanted to fix him and now he wants to ruin her and make her his possession, and nothing in the world has the power to change what the devil wants in his destiny. She knew he was dangerous the moment her beautiful forest green orbs met his dark and lifeless onyx ones and yet let him in. She knew it would be dangerous to go near him. But danger was what she attracted, and now she was all his to break and there's nothing that can stop him from doing that. Because after all "𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥, 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤."

NOTE : It's a sequel to "Lost" and cannot be read as a standalone. ● ♡ ● "Are there any stars?" She inquires and he doesn't understand what she meant. There were no stars. "Can you see the moon up there?" She continues. There was no moon. "It's dark." Ayansh replies when he sees her waiting for his response. Inaaya turns her gaze to him, a peculiar look swimming in her eyes. "Exactly." Ayansh looks back at her, more confusion getting painted over his face. "It's dark. No stars, no moon, nothing." Inaaya adds solemnly. "That's how we're and that's how things between us stand. I trusted you and you broke it and that's the end. There's no hope or light here. All there ever will be around is despair." Ayansh listens to her and after a moment, carefully, takes a step ahead and a slight relief washes over him when she doesn't flinch. "Look up again." He whispers and after a little reluctance, she follows. "Surely it's dark," he says as she watches the sky ardently. "But it doesn't promise to be dark forever," he murmurs lowly and her heart thuds against her ribcage at the determination his voice held. "It's dark today but tomorrow? Maybe tomorrow, there will be stars and the moon too. Maybe tomorrow, you can see the light and the hope too. Maybe tomorrow, the despair would fade away." 🥀 That's the thing about soulmates; they always find a way to each other. ALWAYS. Ayansh Mehra and Inaaya Rai were a little naive, a little foolish in love but oh, they were so in love and it would be a shame if they couldn't find their way back to each other, to the arms they belong, to their HOME.
