Meet Me at Kahani After a painful divorce leaves her with more silence than answers, she decides it's time to start over. She leaves behind the city, the memories, and the blank pages that have haunted her for months, travelling to the quiet mountain village of Jibhi in search of inspiration. Surrounded by cedar forests, winding roads, cozy cafés, and mist-covered mountains, she hopes the change of scenery will help her find her way back to writing-and perhaps, to herself. Then she meets Samaira. A chance encounter at a little café called Kahani turns into a conversation, then another, and soon into something neither of them expected. Samaira has a way of making ordinary moments feel like stories worth remembering, while she slowly begins to realize that maybe the story she came to Jibhi to write isn't the one waiting for her. But falling in love after losing yourself isn't simple. Especially when the past hasn't completely let go, and the future is still uncertain. Between late-night conversations, shared cups of coffee, mountain sunsets, and the stories they tell each other, two women begin writing a new chapter together-one neither of them planned. Maybe some stories aren't meant to be written. Maybe they're meant to be lived. And maybe, if you're lucky, someone will be waiting for you at Kahani.

"You're just a customer." At least, that's what Kai keeps telling himself. Kai was perfectly happy with his ordinary routine.... until a quiet customer with silver hair walked into his café. But somehow, their paths keep crossing. A café. A university. A shared project. A few too many stolen glances. And slowly, the line between stranger and something more begins to disappear. Maybe falling in love doesn't happen all at once. Maybe it happens one little moment at a time. Or maybe some strangers aren't meant to stay strangers. This is a story about two people who were never supposed to become familiar. (If you decided to read this TYSM pls tell me what you think and comment. My Familiar Stranger updates weekly. So yh lol BYEE LOV YA)

Wanna read something? Nora Whitmore, a recent Great Hills University graduate, draws sometimes, finds herself at a crossroads between a simple life and a heavy family legacy. ~~~ The file had already been read. Twice. A slow, steady tap followed- index finger against the desk. Not impatient. Just... thinking. A brow furrowed.

The name appeared again. Nora Whitmore. "Then why you?"

Reyna Ashcroft thought inheriting her grandmother's café was the biggest surprise of her life. Little did she know, it was only the beginning. ݁ .‧₊⋆.٠༺✶༻٠.⋆₊‧. ݁ By day, 'The Midnight Brew' is an ordinary coffee shop, boasting of the finest lattes and honey cakes in town. However, when the clock strikes twelve, it's doors open to every magical realm hidden from the human world.

Saving two worlds might be possible... But can she survive her midnight customer? ݁ .‧₊⋆.٠༺✶༻٠.⋆₊‧. ݁ This story has been written for TEGSA 2026 hosted by @AprilJester
