This book isn't just a story. It's my manifestation. A reflection of the kind of love I dream of-raw, respectful, unshakable. The love that grows quietly, yet fiercely. One that protects in silence and worships without needing to be loud. This is for every soul craving a timeless connection. The one where eyes speak louder than words, where arms are the safest home, and where two people become a universe no storm can break. If you've ever imagined your person walking in just when you were about to give up- This story is your gentle reminder: the universe never forgets what you whispered to it. This book is not perfect, but it's personal. It's not a fairy tale, but it's full of faith. Thank you for reading a piece of my heart. With all my warmth, - C "To the love I haven't met yet... I already wrote us down." Disclaimer:- This story was born from my thoughts, my emotions, and the little worlds I carry within me. Every character and every feeling is deeply mine. Along the way, I took a little indirect assistance from AI to refine certain scenes and shape the narrative-but the soul of this story has always been, and will always be, mine.

Aastha's first job lands her in Ahmedabad - smack in the middle of adulting chaos. Dry chapatis for lunch, rushed mornings, and somehow still late to work despite waking up on time. All she wants? To survive the grind of office hours, burnt dinners, and crushing expectations. Karjun Shah runs Shah Enterprises like clockwork - sleeves rolled up, silver wristwatch gleaming, and not a hair out of place. Stern, composed, the perfect CEO... until he's home. There, he's just Kaju -the steady heart of a noisy, loving Gujarati household that refuses to let him be anything but human. Neither planned this. But Aastha keeps catching glimpses of his silhouette and falling a little harder each time. Karjun can't ignore the new drafter with too many things in her tote and an uncanny way of softening his world. Love doesn't always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it tiptoes in - slow, steady, and unstoppable. All images/pictures belong to their rightful owners. I do not own any. Thank you. Have fun reading! Started: 30/05/2025 Word count: 90,000

This chapter is from the book CLAIRE - THE WOMAN I BECAME published on Amazon.

Some people are easy to forget. But some linger... In habits you never changed, in songs you have stopped listening to, in promises you were never meant to break. Time moves on and lives change. People learn how to live without what they once thought they needed...Or at least try too. So when Kim Sunoo walks into a reunion he almost didn't attend, he thinks it will be just another evening. Only thing is...It isn't.

life and some other stuffs

"Maybe she was never behind. Maybe she was just... becoming." Vasudha Saini lives a life of constant switching between deadlines and drafts, between expectation and exhaustion, between what she feels and what she is allowed to show. By day, she is a junior copywriter at a high-pressure Gurgaon agency, where words are currency and emotions are considered inefficiency. By night, she returns to a silence she has known since childhood a silence shaped not by absence of love, but by the weight of it. In a world that moves too fast for hesitation, she learns to survive by being small. Until she begins to question whether survival is enough. A story about emotional inheritance, quiet ambition, and learning to exist without shrinking. And somewhere in the background of her carefully controlled life a quiet stranger begins to make her question everything she thought she understood about space, silence, and herself.

She came home for one easy summer. Instead, she had to choose between the future she wanted and the boy she still loved.

Aadhya did everything right-studied, tried, waited. But two years later, she's still stuck. Not because she has no choices... But because every choice feels too heavy to make. While everyone else moves forward, she's left questioning herself, her path, and her pace. This isn't a story about having it all figured out. It's about feeling lost, overthinking everything... and learning to move forward anyway. Sometimes, you're not behind. You're just still becoming.

A book of emotions and realizations of life

Asha, a writer who struggles to write her next story resorts to writing her journey with her greatest love, Theo.

Soraia grew up believing her intelligence would lead her somewhere certain, but adulthood proves otherwise. As an editor shaping other people's stories, she struggles with the quiet loss of the future she once imagined. When mysterious manuscripts begin to mirror her own past, she's forced to confront who she used to be and who she's becoming. A coming-of-age story about outgrowing expectations and grieving the self you thought you would become. Now, with old wounds resurfacing and new chapters waiting, can she rewrite what was left unsaid or will the past stay typed but untold?

I thought life would begin the moment I graduated- like everything would finally make sense. For years, I followed the rules: study hard, get good grades, and make your family proud. And I did. I was the student teachers praised, the one who knew the answers, the one who believed that if I just kept going, life would reward me with clarity. But no one warned me about what comes after the applause. No one told me that the real world doesn't hand out instructions, that there are no rubrics for decisions, no deadlines to chase, and no guaranteed results for effort. I was welcomed with just silence and millions of questions no one taught me how to answer. What job should I take? What if I choose wrong? Why does everyone else seem to know what they're doing? Why don't I? At 23, I found myself stuck in a space I never prepared for- not failing, but not moving either, not lost enough to give up, but not sure enough to move forward: somewhere between who I used to be and who I'm supposed to become. This book is not a guide. It's not written by someone who has everything figured out. This is for the ones who did everything right and still feel unprepared. For those who went from being "the smart one" to quietly wondering what went wrong. For the ones who are trying, failing, learning, and pretending they're okay. It's a constant reminder that it's okay not to move at the same pace with others; a reminder that it's okay, maybe not now, but soon. This is for us-the ones still figuring it out. And maybe, that's not failure. Maybe this in-between- this confusion, this waiting, this questioning- is where real life actually begins. Not at the finish line, but the day after it.

Let me attack you with the stories and thoughts of my incredibly mundane life, like the way adulthood attacked me, out of nowhere, and completely uncalled for. You're probably wondering what this is, honestly, so am I, but I'm going to try to document my thoughts, and life, as coherently and as nicely as I can. Is it a diary? Is it a blog? I don't know actually. It's memories, and thoughts, and if I can put them out and make them visible, I can be sure that they exist, and therefore, I, exist. So welcome to this portion of my life, where I ponder, overthink, rant, ramble and somehow deal with the bane of my existence which is adulthood. And more. I am a University student in Bangladesh. You may call me whatever nice thing you like.

"Where am I now? Why did this even start? I am not even the main character in my story........." With thoughts running through her mind she murmured without even knowing it. Her eyes that were glued to his posters were filled with tears of guilt. At that moment she hated to even look at him even if it's just a poster.

She hated everything........... But Why? Hi, Everyone, this is my first time here writing fiction. Hope you like it.
