This novel came out of years of denial, self-doubt, and emotional weight that had nowhere else to go. It is a full work of fiction built from small bites of reality and lived experience, and it took far longer to write than I would like to admit. One ordinary afternoon, during the most mundane stretch of my life, I felt the story pressing against me from the inside and decided, without any grand plan, to open a Google document and begin. I did not know then what it would become. I am not entirely sure I know now. I do not know who will read this. But this novel belongs, in some quiet way, to the real people who loosely inspired it. They will know who they are. I hope they receive it in the spirit it was written. Aman ki Asha means Peace's Hope in Hindi. The name is borrowed from a peace campaign launched by activists between India and Pakistan in the early 2000s, a sincere and beautiful effort to close a distance that history had made very difficult to close. There is still no concrete peace between those two nations. The border remains. But the attempt was real, and that is where I found my allegory: two names, Aman and Asha, a union that was temporary and tragic and genuine all at once. The beauty, if there is beauty in it, is that they were perhaps only ever meant for a small piece of time. Until the clock ran out of minutes. These characters are deeply flawed. They make choices that are hard to defend and harder to forget. I hope you love them anyway, the way I came to love them while writing them, which is to say imperfectly and completely and without quite meaning to. This was a labor of love. The labor was real. So was the love.

She was never looking for love. All she wanted was peace. But when a proposal arrived from a name she barely knew, Amara made a choice - not for a man, but for herself. "The Tear Beneath the Veil" is an emotional journey of a soft-hearted girl who's been broken, doubted, and dismissed - yet chooses to rise, not with revenge, but with prayer. This is not a typical love story. This is a story about healing, faith, family, and the quiet courage of a girl who dared to hope again.

She fell first,and she fell hard. Nyra Sehrawat thought she knew what heartbreak felt like, until fate handed her Ishaan Oberoi. Cold, brilliant, and annoyingly unreadable, he stayed a secret she could never decode. She laughed too loud, lived too fast, and burned too bright... and he acted like she was chaos he refused to touch. Until she left. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence and five long years. Now she's back,stronger, sharper, and done being the girl who waited. But Ishaan isn't the boy she once loved either. He's powerful, dangerous in a quiet way, and very, very aware of the one truth he never admitted: He never stopped wanting her. And this time... he's not letting go. (Ps-Add this story in your TBR.This series would be out in 2026)

Samar does not trust men-experience taught her better. A father who trafficked girls, a lover who humiliated her on the mandap, and a sister who survived domestic violence left her believing that love is only another form of cruelty. Arpit, rigid and orthodox, is everything she despises-yet he falls for her anyway. Bound by circumstances, they enter a marriage of convenience meant to protect others, not themselves. Unaware of Arpit and abhiman's hidden motive to find her father and rescue their kidnapped sister, Samar stands at the center of love, hatred, and revenge. Samarpit is not a story of saving- it is a story of devotion that waits, endures, and survives.

Kabhi kabhi, ek ajnabi milta hai... aur lagta hai jaise usse pehle bhi kahin dekha ho." > He didn't believe in fate.
