"You told me you're broken, but how do I explain that often, it's the broken pieces that form the most beautiful masterpieces?" ✧⁠*⁠。 Rohan Gupta has been wrecked. Broken. Once an oasis of brightness and comfort, now he was wallowing in a torrent of melancholy. He has lost everything in his life, and after the death of his sister and best friend, Rohan had no will to carry on with his life. To say he was heartbroken would be an understatement. He was beyond repair. Until... his pregnant sister left him with her newborn before she took her last breaths. Ruhi, his little niece, the last precious gift from his elder sister and her husband, Tushaar. Rohan earned a new title. The title of father. A single parent. And thus, every breath he takes, every smile he musters, every tear he sheds is for his daughter. She had become his reason to keep fighting. Happiness in a world consumed by sorrow. ✧⁠*⁠。 Avni Agnihotri has lived through torment most couldn't even imagine. By day, she stands before her students, teaching them the power of kindness and joy, but when the day fades, she is left with a world of pain and responsibilities. She has watched her mother's death, tortured by the thought that she could have saved her. Now, she watches her father, who was a superhero in her eyes, wither in front of her as he lies on his deathbed. And if that wasn't enough, she was burdened with the responsibility of her 12-year-old brother, Ayush, the sole reason for her everlasting happiness in a world that's determined to strip her of everything. His laughter, his innocence, his faith in her. Everything. It made her hold onto life only for her sunshiney brother. *** But what happens when an arrangement is made that brings Rohan and Avni together? Would they accept this pact only to provide a family to their loved ones? Would the four innocent lives be able to accept and embrace each other?

Winner of 'Wattpad India Awards 2019' in Both Popular Choice and Judge's Choice Categories. Note posted on 5 October 2022 'Prithvi' is an ongoing story. It was in 2008 that the story began to flow through me. I continue to be as passionate about it as I was back then. However, I do not know how long it would take to be completed. I do not know how many more volumes or chapters will be required. I update chapters only once a month, and even that doesn't happen at times. But if you would still like to experience this story, please go ahead and give it a try. I hope you enjoy it reading 'Prithvi' as much as I enjoy writing it. ***************************** Story Description "Prithvi" is the tale of an incredibly intense love that demands nothing less than unconditional surrender. But it has to manoeuvre its way through a labyrinth of long-buried secrets, vicious enemies, shattered blood ties, and most painfully, untamed inner demons. Everlasting happiness may be within reach, or perhaps, very far away. Never before has the path of love been so dangerous....so mysterious.....so beautiful...

Vikram Kapoor, a reputed heart surgeon is busy supervising the final touches to his hospital, the Geeta Memorial Super-Specialty Hospital, named after his late wife.

Vikram's son Aryan comes home for the vacations, hoping to take him back with him to a special place in the Himalayas. But an ensuing spat between the father and son forces Aryan to leave home in the middle of the night. His whereabouts are soon unknown as an avalanche strikes the Himalayas, forcing Vikram to defy his trauma and journey to the hills, in an adventure that is as much desperation to find his son as it is a pilgrimage to find himself.

Every year on Charlotte's birthday, her mother takes a picture of her to send to her father that she's never met before. He was a man with dangerous connections so they had to live apart for Charlotte to be safe. But on Charlotte's fifteenth birthday things change. She moves all the way from London to Manhattan with her mom. Charlotte gets to make new friends but also new enemies. The Cassano's are very powerful and Charlotte will soon find out how powerful they truly are. /////// Snippet: "Your sister touched my boobs and slammed me into a locker. Your brothers pushed me up against a locker and choked me. I really don't care for any of the apologies you give me, because let's be honest, they're not genuine." The blond man's jaw dropped but there was no change in Hector's face. He only seemed slightly annoyed that I interrupted him. "Yeah, bestie, you tell him!" Cecelia purred. Eunha gasped and softly slapped Cecelia, but who could really stop her. That girl had no fears. "Let's go." Daniel softly nudged me. I nodded and turned away without saying goodbye. This damn family was getting on my nerves. In this moment I didn't care that I pissed them off. It's what they deserved. But what I would later learn is that this was what kickstarted the whole mess I'd get dragged in. It all started with Hector Cassano getting interested in me. ------- #1 in 'littlesister' on 26 January 2022

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. Nicknames, a love of soccer, and school rumors are all the bad boy and the tomboy have in common. But if they give each other a chance, will they find something more? ***** Seventeen-year-old Macy Anderson is a tomboy that plays soccer, hangs with the guys, can't stand girls (except her best friend Jasmine) and doesn't know who Sam Cahill is. But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seems to work on all the girls -- except Macy, who has a rule not date in high school. But when Sam starts showing her his moves (on and off the soccer field), Macy begins to see a different guy under the leather-clad exterior. Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038
