Because it was the first time someone was able to read me like an open book. The pain behind my smile, the mystery in my eyes, the chaos inside my silent mind and the turmoil within my heart. He saw it all. And it scared me. Because I knew if he kept on doing it then there would come a time when the walls I've built around myself for so many years, would crumble down soon..."

My vision blurred with each passing second. His grip on my chin was strong and painful. "Now answer," he ordered in a husky voice.

IN THE WORLD OF NEGATTIONS ~ I Found You~
DESCRIPTION IN THE WORLD OF NEGATION "Love doesn't erase the past- it rewrites it. With every whispered promise,the scars became softer, the nights less lonely. And one day, you realize your heart no longer aches for what was lost.....because his hands have taught it how to hold something new." Not an ordinary highschool romcom. its also revolves around revenge , mystery and sacrifices. Some stories begin with a whisper-a slow, quiet unraveling of hearts. Ours began with a *crash*. Not the poetic kind, where two souls meet under starlight, drawn together by destiny's gentle hand. No. Ours was a collision-messy, painful, drenched in rain and spilled coffee. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One accident. One lie. One keychain that held the weight of a locked-away soul. This isn't a love story. At least, not yet. Mumbai-the city of dreams, where every heartbeat races against time.** *Vivan Luthra* isn't just the golden boy of college she's a masterpiece of contradictions. The cricket field bows to his talent, teachers praise his discipline, and his friends envy his effortless charm. But behind the trophies and the perfect smile, he's a prisoner of his own making. Every compliment is a weight. Every expectation is a chain. And the only thing heavier than his father's ambition? *The secret he's been hiding for years.* Then *she* walks in. *Kavya Randhawa* doesn't belong here-not in this ruthless world of ranks and rigid rules. A poet with a soul too deep for textbooks, she was supposed to be in Delhi, sketching sunsets and weaving words into art. But life had other plans. Dragged back to Mumbai by her parents' unrelenting demands, she's now trapped in a suffocating cycle of NEET prep, her dreams locked away like old diaries. *Their first meeting is a collision.* *Except... he's pretending for a reason.* for those who liked healing romace.
