Vulnerability Stories

Some walls aren't meant to stay up forever. Meerab Malik has spent a decade perfecting the art of keeping her emotions close to her chest. She's successful, independent, and completely over her first heartbreak-or so she thinks. But when fate brings her face-to-face with her family friend, the reason why her heart broke into pieces all those years ago, the years of careful emotional construction threaten to come undone. Murtasim Khan remembers the brilliant girl who used to hide behind books and oversized clothes. What he doesn't expect is the stunning woman who can hold her own in designer clothing and sharp comebacks. Intrigued by her transformation and determined to scratch this new veneer, he's not backing down-even when she acts more adversarial than friendly. When old wounds resurface alongside undeniable attraction, Meerab must decide whether to risk her carefully guarded heart. Will she let herself be drawn into his world-deeper than she ever imagined, faster than she's prepared for? Or will the memory of being invisible to him prove stronger than the fire burning between them now? **This story will eventually have mature themes. Please read at your own discretion.**

I surrender pieces of myself to your presence, willingly and entirely, letting my walls crumble like sandcastles at the tide's edge. I am entirely here, entirely yours, a soul peeled bare yet radiant, a vessel of all I am, all I feel, all I dare to share.

Aanya had her whole life figured out. A perfect career. A perfect escape plan. A perfect list of things she'd *never* let happen again. Then one terrible breakup and a whole lot of family pressure later... she ends up married to Arjun. The quiet boy. The gentle one. The kind of man who says sorry when someone else bumps into him. He's nothing like her. She's loud, guarded and always ready to fight. He's soft, patient and stubborn in his own silent way. They start as strangers sharing a home. Awkward nights. Misunderstandings. Tension that feels way too real. But every time Aanya pushes him away, Arjun stays. Not to force her. Not to fix her. Just... to love her in the only way he knows. Softly. And somewhere between protecting him, fighting her past, and dealing with the chaos of her best friend's messy ex and her brother-in-law's brewing romance... Aanya starts falling for the man she never planned on marrying. Or loving.

A collection of poems exploring the silent compromises, hidden desires, and quiet acts of defiance required to protect a love that exist against all norms.
