My mother always told me "Chandani, if you play your cards right you'll find a great husband someday." My grandmother would always add in "a nice Indian boy!" If either woman could have their way, I suspect he would be a tall, tan, green eyed, wavy haired, Indian. Who loves nothing more then the smile on his mothers face, and approval from his father. They could see him clearly, striding in the room in all his greatness, and at that moment our eyes would meet. He would see no one else, Que the spotlight on me in a deep red sari, hair long and flowing. He would right then and there bend on one knee and whisper those sweet words "Muhjse Shadi Karoge?"(will you marry me?). Taken by surprise I would place one hand on my heart and utter a soft yet determined "yes." Sounds like the ultimate Bollywood love fest huh? Well as I sit here at my desk, I can tell you that at twenty four years old I am still waiting for my Salman Khan to break through the doors. ***************************************************** Chandani is a young woman on her path of self discovery. Doing so is not easy with her strong Indian roots, her families expectations, her own dreams and her headstrong mother all pulling her in different directions. She thinks she knows what she wants and who she is, until she meets Akhil Dharma. From their first meeting he is arrogant, and brutally honest, so much so that Chandani decides then and there he is not worth her time. Leading her to assume the worst of him, it doesn't help that the people around her add fuel to the fire. They must both learn to get over themselves and come to understand that sometimes our own arrogance moves us to assume the worst in people. In the end we must let go of our arrogance and trample any assumptions in order to freely fall in love.
Destined Hearts by AshAriella
21 parts Ongoing
They say the heart knows before the mind does. That somewhere, in the grand design of the universe, two souls are already written into each other's story. That fate moves like an invisible thread, pulling them closer, unraveling life's carefully laid plans with unexpected encounters and fleeting moments. But destiny is not always kind. Dhriti Sekhawat stopped believing in grand love stories. Not the kind that poets romanticized or the kind whispered about in the hushed corridors of old palaces, where love and heartbreak were etched into the very walls. Love, in her world, was fleeting-beautiful, yet unreliable. And so, she had learned to guard her heart, to build walls higher than she ever let on. Shaurya Sethi never left things to fate. He carved his own path, defied expectations, and built his life with logic and determination. He believed in choices, not in cosmic coincidences. And yet, something about her-about the way she laughed without abandon, the way her eyes held untold stories-made him question everything he thought he knew. Their paths should have never crossed. And yet, they did. Amidst the flickering glow of wedding lights, stolen glances, and unspoken words, their worlds collided in ways neither could have foreseen. A fleeting moment here, a quiet confession there-until the weight of emotions became too heavy to ignore. But love, no matter how strong, is not always enough. Just as quickly as fate brought them together, life pulled them apart. Promises left unsaid. Feelings buried beneath the weight of time and distance. Three years later, when they meet again, the question remains: Were they meant to be, or were they simply a beautiful, unfinished story? Join Shaurya and Dhriti on their journey to find out what happens next.... because sometimes, love is the most unexpected part of our destiny.
