Orange is one of my favourite colours. It's sophisticated and professional. Absolutely fuss free. But if you think about it, orange is also alive and vibrant. If orange was a person it'd be a person who feels. But they keep their feelings under wraps. Not out of shame. Not out of fear of being judged. Simply out of a dislike for change and a need for normality.
So orange, is a choice.
I've been feeling decidedly orange lately.
Thanks to @insatiable for the great cover!

A Yellow Rose
■■ "Isn't it ironic how we kill flowers because we think that they're beautiful?" He asked, while I took hold of a yellow rose in my hand. I chuckled at him before answering, "Isn't it ironic that my name is Ayushi?" He rolled his eyes before an annoyed look found a way to his face. "Perhaps the reason people are drawn to flowers is not only because of their outer beauty, but because they remind you beautiful things will bloom after the longest seasons of waiting." I said, smiling down at the beautiful flower in my hand. "But why a yellow rose?" He questioned further. "Yellow rose means remembrance." ■■Complete![ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/42285079-256-k953091.jpg)

In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." - Bruce Lee #2=wedding out of 24.6k #2=college life out of 2.4k #4=college friends out of 3.4kComplete
Sentiments of a Wandering Heart
Photography captures moments; Poetry captures emotions, and Songs capture thoughts. -About the Collection- This is my second poetry collection and I hope you support it the way you supported Love and Poetry. Again, these poems are very personal so expect that most poems are written in the first person point of view. :) -About the Cover- I asked my friend to put lavender/violet flowers in the cover. Why? When I was in high school, I used to watch this Koreanovela called Lavender. Then a character said that if a person gives you lavender in a bottle, it means that he or she is waiting for love. :) Special thanks to @agbilang for making the cover.

"you thought I would love you? look who just had the biggest misconception in their life." I said laughing on the outside but the pain that was circulating through my heart was so immense that I couldn't hide the tears which were forming in my eyes. "you don't know why I did what I did" she said. yeah how will I know. I am the dumbest person on this planet to even think what she had for me was true. "But this is not where it ends. It will end only when I marry you. Mark my words Aanya" I said throwing a punch right beside her face, on the net behind her. ___________________________________________ Aanya Verma, an average Indian girl trying to survive her college life, where she unexpectedly encounters her school enemy. the story takes place when Aanya finds out that her so-called enemy from school is her first one night stand.

"Not at all," he stated. "Then stop playing with my emotions everytime," I yelled. "Really? It's you who is playing with me right now by hiding your feelings," he yelled back. "Okay fine. Tell me. Yes there is something going on between us. There is something that I feel about you. So what Vivaan?" I said when he gazed at me with his confused face. "Vivaan, we both are very different from each other and so are our thoughts. When you people are busy exploring new hook up methods, I am still stuck in my old school love stories. I am stuck in my own fairy world still believing in one true love. We both are poles apart from each other. It wouldn't work out between us," I explained. "How would you know if you haven't tried yet?" he said. "Try?" I chuckled. "Love is not a joke that you can try one and if it's not funny enough you can go for another one," I said. "What do you want then?" he asked me. "I want you to leave me alone," I said. "See, whatever you say or do, you can't change the way I feel about you. So you can take your time. However long it might take. I am happy that atleast you accepted your feelings," he said cupping my face with his hand and slowly kissing my forehead. ****************************Complete
Unbreakable Bond
"I LOVE YOU," I said, beaming as I knelt down. Her eyes widened in surprise, clearly caught off guard. "That's really sweet, but I don't feel the same way about you. You're a great friend, I'm sorry!" she replied, looking directly into my eyes, and it felt as if someone had popped my balloon of love with a pin of friendship. I stared at her in shock, my mouth opening to speak, but no words came out! I struggled to catch my breath and managed to force a smile as I said, "I understand; I won't pressure you to love me back. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I truly cherish every moment with you. But... could I please have a hug?" I wrapped my arms around her, a single tear escaping down my cheek, but thankfully she didn't notice. "Happy Birthday," I whispered as I pulled away, watching her leave me behind.Complete

❝ Roses are dead, love is fake, weddings are basically funerals with cake. ❞ Meet Akriti Marwaha, a gynecologist who loves to always keep her family happy and be that girl everyone ever aspired to be. Sass, Straight A's and stethoscopes are her best friends as she tries to solve her orthodox family's snarky remarks with eye rolls.

And Aadrik Agnihotri, a devilishly handsome businessman whom every parent warns you about. Callous, Cocky and carefree are the words that describe him the best. Name a bad trait, he has that but name a good trait and he has that too. A perfect concoction of angel and devil, he is. That one dimple on right cheek which peeks when he smiles always makes sure to take at least a hundred girls every time it goes down deeply and deplorably. All Akriti wanted was food, frocks and freedom but with that she ended up slipping into his arms as he caught her, this time promising to never let go. But wasn't he her school rival and her supposed best friend's ex? Hell he is but does that change the fact that they are married now? Oops. I mean, he is at least hot and can cook. Look at the good side? And he seems to always be coming back up to her sarcasm with a charming smile now? ➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶ [I can't say the ml is a walking talking green flag throughout the book as they evolve from teenagers to adults.
