~To those who've experienced the love of fate~ Zoe prefers silence. It's safer than being misunderstood - safer than the chaos waiting at home behind every closed door. Once loud and full of fire, she's learned to survive by shrinking, hiding, and writing everything she feels in the pages of a private journal no one will ever read. Andrew, on the other hand, has perfected the act. The laughter. The charm. The easygoing energy. But beneath it all, he's breaking too - a different kind of broken, the kind that knows how to pretend even in front of a mirror. They meet on the first day of school. A quiet bus ride, a reluctant glance, and something between them that neither one of them fully understands - not yet. As the school year unfolds, so do their secrets, slowly tangled in late-night conversations, unspoken grief, and the ache of wanting to be seen for who they really are. Amor Fati is a raw, intimate story about love, trauma, and the fight to own your story - even when the world has already written it for you. ❗None of the images and videos used in this book are mine❗ I'll try my best to update every Wednesday and Friday. ⚠️ Reader Discretion Advised This story contains themes that may be sensitive or triggering for some readers, including: -Emotional and psychological abuse -Family conflict and dysfunction -Mental health struggles (anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) -Toxic relationships and trauma - Romantic and sexual topics involving characters aged 17-18

SULTANA 💜 Some scars are invisible, yet they shape an entire lifetime. Born into a home where she was never truly loved, Sultana grew up carrying the weight of rejection, betrayal, and heartbreaking secrets. Every trial she faced stole a piece of her innocence, leaving her convinced that love was never meant for someone like her. But instead of allowing her pain to define her, Sultana fought for a better future. Through determination and faith, she became a respected lecturer and a successful partner in a real estate business, building a life no one believed she could achieve. At thirty-five, she has closed the door to marriage forever. Then fate reunites her with Salim, a twenty-seven-year-old Army officer who has quietly loved her since his teenage years. While Sultana sees only the years between them and the wounds she still carries, Salim sees the woman he has never stopped believing in. Can patience, faith, and genuine love heal a heart that has forgotten how to trust? SULTANA 💜 is an emotional journey of survival, healing, forgiveness, and the courage to love again.

Elowen doesn't know when she stopped feeling things the way she used to. Maybe it was the loneliness. Maybe it was everything she never said. Or maybe she simply got tired of caring. But when her quiet, ordinary life begins to change, she finds herself facing the one thing she's been avoiding for years: herself.

Mereka pernah saling memiliki. Bertahun-tahun, Aira dan Saka belajar mencintai dari kejauhan-dari layar, suara di telepon, percakapan sebelum tidur, dan janji tentang pertemuan yang entah kapan akan menjadi nyata. Sampai suatu hari, mereka kehilangan satu sama lain. Waktu berjalan. Hidup membawa mereka ke tempat yang berbeda, mempertemukan mereka dengan orang-orang lain, dan mengajarkan bahwa mencintai seseorang tidak selalu berarti harus tetap bersamanya. Lalu, pada September 2024, mereka bertemu lagi. Aneh rasanya bertemu dengan seseorang yang pernah begitu dikenal, tetapi kini harus diperlakukan seperti orang baru. Aira tidak datang untuk meminta Saka kembali. Saka pun tidak membuka pintu untuk mengulang masa lalu. Mereka hanya mencoba memahami satu hal: "Bagaimana caranya tetap menyayangi seseorang yang sudah tidak lagi menjadi milik kita?" Karena mungkin, ada rumah yang tidak lagi bisa kita tinggali. Bukan karena kita tidak diterima. Melainkan karena kita pernah tinggal di sana-dan kini, kita hanya seorang tamu.

Bra in the Balcony Yes, my bra is in the balcony. So what? I'm 17, and my balcony has seen me more than anyone else has. It has seen me in my pyjamas, with oily hair, with a pimple I keep touching, with tears I don't tell my mother about. I sit there every night with cold chai and warm overthinking. My bra hangs on the chair next to me - faded, loose, like me on some days. I'm not trying to be bold. I'm just tired of hiding things that are so normal. And it's my simple way of telling that I grew up. My awkward silences, my body that I am still getting used to, my stretch marks, my fear about the future, my friends who are slowly leaving, my habit of checking my phone again and again even when no one has texted. This book is not about becoming confident. It's about being 17 and still feeling everything too much. I tell everything here. The way it is. The way I am. And one day when I will be 25, maybe with a job, maybe with a different life, I will read this again and remember - this is how it felt to be 17. If you have ever felt too much and too little at the same time - this balcony is yours too.

Just one more game. Just one more day. Just this one last time. Ammy really does want to start working out again. She means it. But between college, late-night gaming sessions with her friends, and the countless little choices of everyday life, one postponed workout slowly turns into a habit. Together with her best friend Tara, she navigates classes, family life, and countless hours in front of her computer-never realizing how, little by little, her everyday routine is beginning to change. Little Changes is a cozy slice-of-life story about friendship, family, and the small decisions that often shape our lives far more than we realize.

[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.

CEMENT Ordinary material. Extraordinary problems. People get stuck. In habits. In relationships. In bad decisions. Sometimes quite literally in concrete. Cement is a collection of dry, absurd and comical short stories about ordinary people caught in situations that become increasingly difficult to explain. A funeral goes wrong. A convoy rolls out like the Wild West. A meeting without purpose. A receipt becomes a record of a life. And sometimes, the best thing to do with a perfectly good piece of concrete is absolutely nothing. Standalone stories. Unexpected situations. Very little sense of escape (unless you're a snail). Fantasy tales feature as well, and they too don't escape the lure of cement.

# Don't Invade My Solitude He never asked her to stay. She never stopped doing so. Two strangers. An apartment divided in half. A meeting in the dark that should have meant nothing. He is cold, essential, built on silences that leave no room for anyone. She is everything he has learned to avoid - curious, present, incapable of pretending indifference. Every gesture between them is small. An umbrella passed without a word. A figurine chosen without a stated reason. A good morning that weighs more than any promise. But some people don't need to be invaded by force. **You only have to stay.** Even when he asks her to stop.

Brittany has 4 best friends, yet she is constantly left out, ignored and excluded from their groups.

This was never a simple love story. #1 desidrama. 7.5.2026 #1 reallifelove. 21.2.2026 #1 complexlove. 21.2.2026 #6 rollercoaster. 21.2.2026 #6 twistandturns. 21.2.2026 #5 desilove. 21.2.2026 #10 emotion. 21.2.2026 *** Aanya froze, the tone of his voice settling heavily around her. Raw. Irritated. Frustrated. Carrying the kind of anger that wasn't directed outward, but inward... at himself. She turned toward the voice. And saw him. A tall man in a white kurta, sleeves rolled up, chest rising with agitation. His jaw clenched so tight she could practically hear the restraint. His gaze swept the crowd like a storm searching for land. Aanya Malik didn't believe in destiny. But she believed in patterns. And Veer Singh Rathore was definitely a pattern she wouldn't forget

The Boy Who Learned to Disappear Nobody noticed when he started disappearing. At first, it was small things, the messages he stopped answering, the places he stopped going, the conversations he learned to survive without being part of. He was still there. Still smiling. Still saying, "I'm fine." But somewhere between becoming the person everyone needed and losing the person he used to be, he discovered that disappearing could be easier than explaining. This is the story of a boy who learned to make himself smaller whenever life became too loud. A boy who carried things he couldn't name, swallowed words he couldn't say, and slowly convinced himself that being unseen was safer than being known. But you cannot disappear forever. And eventually, he has to face the one person he has spent years running from: himself. The Boy Who Learned to Disappear is a story about loneliness, silence, identity, and the quiet ways a person can fall apart while looking completely fine from the outside.

A mature man navigating loneliness, friendship, and the quiet absurdity of ordinary Sundays. Because adulthood turns out to be less dramatic than expected. Or does it?
