BIRCHWOOD LANE Some people become part of your life so quietly that you don't notice they've become part of who you are. Elias Carter has loved Naomi Rosen for as long as he can remember. From childhood afternoons separated only by a gap in the fence between their homes on Birchwood Lane to the first uncertain weeks of university, she's been the constant in every version of his life. But growing up means learning that love isn't always enough. As new friendships form, unexpected people enter their lives, and the future begins pulling them in different directions, Elias must confront the question he's avoided for years: Is holding on the same as moving forward?

Sometimes the person you're waiting for isn't the person you're meant to find.

Sa sulok, ang 6-year-old niyang anak, nagdo-drawing habang nanonood sa nanay niyang kumakayod. Sa gabi, pag sarado na ang tindahan, nagiging WFH call center agent siya. Headset on, laptop on, anak tulog na sa tabi - pero siya, gising pa rin para sa isa pang shift. Umaga hanggang gabi. Gabi hanggang umaga. Paulit-ulit. She tried to be the perfect girlfriend - they called her dramatic. She tried to be the perfect daughter - they said kulang pa. She tried to be strong - hanggang sa bumagsak ang katawan niya at sinabing nag-iinarte lang siya. Kaya ngayon, hindi na siya nagta-try para sa kanila. Nagtatrabaho siya para sa sarili niya at sa anak niya. One store. Two businesses. Three jobs. One mom who never stopped trying. SHE TRIED, BUT DID SHE MAKE IT?

And some are chosen by fate itself.

💡 Original idea. Funny. Satirical. Sometimes it makes you laugh out loud, sometimes it makes you cry. This is an English translation from my own novel: Mari Kita Bully Demi Kebaikan. While bullying is usually cruel, this novel asks the reverse question: can bullying be a moral cure? Imagine a bizarre national movement called "Social Gaze"-just by staring together, people can make rule-breakers tremble. It starts out hilarious, but slowly turns terrifying: slander spreads, innocent people die, and even honest figures are framed. And out of all that chaos comes a single question... 👉 "Revenge, or forgiveness?" 📖 A satirical story about virality, dirty politics, and who truly deserves a place in heaven.

[TEENAGE FORBIDDEN ROMANTIC ACTION DRAMA] Scheduled To Publish Every Friday💖 Krishna Vamsi and Radha Varma were never meant to be anything more than friends. Not in a world divided by caste, money, and expectations. Krishna comes from a small home and a smaller freedom-loved by his parents, yet suffocated by discipline, responsibility, and unspoken pressure. Radha, raised in a well-off but controlling household, learns early that affection is conditional and silence is survival. Seven years of friendship. One junior college that keeps them on different floors. Two families that would never understand. They tease each other, call each other dummy and idiot, share late-night Instagram chats, and steal glances they pretend mean nothing. But beneath the laughter lies a bond that's growing too deep to stay harmless. This is not a love story filled with confessions and promises. It's a slow-burn story about emotional neglect, forbidden closeness, financial gaps, caste boundaries, and the quiet pain of growing up. Because sometimes, the hardest love to carry is the one you're never allowed to name. Tropes : Elder Son × Elder Daughter Childhood Best Friends Forbidden Love Lower Middle-Class Boy × Upper Middle-Class Girl Strict but Loving Parents (Boy) × Strict, Emotionally Distant Parents (Girl) Inspired from a Author's Life

"He wasn't mine. But God, I wanted to be his." It started with a stare. One moment. One boy. And suddenly, my world wasn't mine anymore. He was arrogant, reckless, and way too good-looking for his own good. I was just the curvy girl he once body-shamed in front of a whole class. So tell me-why did he start looking at me like I was the only one in the room? "We were always almost. Almost right. Almost real. Almost enough." What we had wasn't healthy. It was late-night texts, stolen glances, ghosted mornings, and the kind of love that leaves bruises on your soul. But I kept going back. Because sometimes, the people who ruin you... feel a lot like home. This isn't a fairytale. This is a slow burn. A beautiful disaster. A story of almosts.
