Set in early 2000s India, this is a slow-burn romance of unsaid feelings, stubborn silences, and hearts that take their time to fall. "I have loved you since I was six." But I never told him. Because he was my best friend's brother. Because he was eight years older. Because he never looked at me the way I looked at him. Years passed. I never moved on. Not even a little. And then... he came back-older, colder, and wearing a police uniform. Then, I did the one thing I never dared before. I wrote him a letter. A letter full of everything I had buried inside me for years. He read it. And broke my heart with five quiet words: "You are not my type." But fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humour. One letter. One rejection. And one arranged marriage proposal later, suddenly, I'm his fiancée. He asked me to say no. I said yes.

In the quiet town of Dehradun, where the mountains breathe old stories and the winds carry forgotten names, a baby's cry pierces the silence..changing everything. Rudra lives with a past buried in shadows and a ten-month-old child clinging to hope. Aadhvita, soft-spoken and shrouded in silk, is thrust into his life not by choice, but by a twist of cruel fate. She doesn't know his truth. He doesn't understand her silence. And yet, their hearts begin to stir... cautiously, like strangers drawn to a familiar song. But behind the lullabies, there are secrets. Why did he leave everything behind? Why does the child look at her like he's known her forever? And what happens when two broken people start to build something real-while the world watches, whispers, and waits? "Love didn't knock. It quietly walked in, holding a baby." A tale of love unasked for, of a bond born in shadows, and the kind of quiet longing that never leaves once it arrives.

Spin-off to "Big Yellow Door" but could be read as a standalone. ♡♡♡♡ I was labelled as the girl who got fame as heritage or the one who couldn't stand up to the reputation her parents held. They say I'm a shame to my infamous parent's legacy. Arrogant, rude, slut, druggy and whatnot. People called me whatever they wished for. I believed I possessed talent but they pulled me down. Everything I had got shaded with innumerable comparisons with my father's success. I got my looks from my mother but I was told that I'm nowhere near her. She was pure and I am immoral. He was people's man and I'm an arrogant bitch. The only daughter of the Rockstar, the nation loved and the writer people adored. The only mistake I made was to love music with everything within me, only if I knew how to handle the negativity that came along with it. I saw success but more than that I felt pain. People called me toxic, they said I lacked many things, they called me a product of nepotism but only if they were able to see beyond that, only if they were able to see what that music meant to me. I can't go back as I have come so far now. So the only thing I can do is to give them time to accept me and hope that one day I can complete my dreams and in the process maybe if possible make the two people I love the most feel proud of me.
