"My parents have always told me that my destiny is a canvas; that I can paint whatever future I want. But I dont believe that anymore and neither should they. Because while the brush may paint the strokes, the hand controlling the brush will always control the painting."
Ever since she can remember, Mara has always been bullied by her twin sister and ridiculed by her mother. Although she finds comfort in the many times her dad looks out for her in secret, it seems like Mara can never be free from her family. Because of them, she has never felt more alone.
Things went downhill for Kevin when his father started cheating. Having to pick sides between your parents isn't easy for any teenager, but watching his mom's mental state deteriorate over the divorce is even worse. Not able to handle his mom's depression, he leaves both her and his shattered home behind.
But when he comes back a few years later as a spy for his father, he unexpectedly runs into a waitress who conceals herself in layers of black. Despite her secretive nature and all of her trust issues, he can't help but care for the girl.
But when lies are told and secrets unfold, even the strongest hearts can shatter under the pressure. So when Kevin decides to confide his darkest secret yet, will it be unbearable enough to drive a wedge between him and Mara?
Follow the intertwined stories of Kevin and Mara as they discover the power of love, trust and friendship in When Droplets Collide.

Perfectly Casual
Taking two cups in my hand. The moment I turned around I clash with something, well to be correct on Someone. But before I can fall, a strong hand got wrapped around me, making me steady. Coming back to my senses my gaze falls on his white shirt which is now daubed with coffee. "Holyshit" I swear, and he gave me the death look. "Sorry" I apologize "For what? For swearing so freely or for making my day great by pouring on coffee." "For both, sorry, I can help you with a shirt or buy you a cup of coffee?" "No need, just walk with your open eyes. That would be a lot better." ~ AAYAN KASHAYAP. The first grandson, the eldest brother, the eldest son of the family.

UNTIL IT DOESN'T HURT
He'd left her a note and a cold cup of coffee. That's how Mara's world ended, quietly, normally, and tragically. Grief came in small details: his jacket still by the door, the mug with her lipstick print, the phone that lit up with his name she could not make herself answer. Every small thing, hurts. But the city doesn't stop for broken hearts. The rain still falls, the bread still bakes, strangers still smile. And as Mara staggers under sorrow, she finds herself stretched between the agony of memory and the fragile hope of tomorrow. This is not a story of perfect love. This is a story of losing big, of surviving by a thread, and of making beauty from the fissures that are left behind. A story where kindness comes in the form of warm croissants, a stranger's guitar, and a laugh that surprises her in the darkness. And when Mara eventually masters folding the note and tucking it away, she finds out something she never anticipated: heartbreak isn't forever. Not when life continues to move on. Not when healing arrives in tiny, stubborn bits. Not when hope, despite everything, still wants to be discovered. Until It Doesn't Hurt is a gritty, emotional romance about endings that shatter us, beginnings that rebuild us, and the quiet miracle of falling in love again.Complete

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 | 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
Beneath the roots lies a realm unspoken, where shadows breathe and rivers run black. A single step too far unravels the veil between worlds, turning play into curse, and innocence into exile. Beyond the roots, the air itself conspires, forests whisper of forgotten kings, and demons walk as both beasts and men. Yet above that abyss rises a kingdom of warmth, a fragile jewel cradled in sunlight. Its streets awaken each dawn in a riot of color: banners ripple, stalls spill with fruit and cloth, and fountains laugh with crystal spray. Children dart through blooming gardens, their laughter ringing louder than bells, while elders sit beneath arching roots, telling stories of brighter days. Here, joy is stitched into life itself. The baker greets with sugared bread, the blacksmith's hammer sings with the town musicians, and couples dance when lanterns glow like fallen stars. Festivals turn nights into oceans of song, where drums thunder and torches paint the sky in fire and gold. In this place, hope does not hide-it parades, it feasts, it laughs. The people call their home a sanctuary, untouched by sorrow, where each day begins with promise and ends in peace. To live here is to believe, if only for a moment, that darkness is nothing more than a distant dream. But beneath their feet, the roots stretch into silence. For every blossom hides its shadow, and every feast masks a silence that waits. The kingdom may be a cradle of joy, but its foundation drinks from the same soil where nightmares stir. Here, survival is no gift. Every choice is a bargain, every path a trial. What seems human may wear another face, and what seems monstrous may hold a broken heart. Secrets buried for centuries stir in the soil, twisting destiny tighter with every breath. This is not a tale of crowns or kingdoms, but of a world where light is fragile, where hope withers, and where even the roots that bind the earth tremble before what waits below.

Truth or Dare
After graduating high school, Jupiter and her two best friends move to a small beach town for college. They are free at last. Free from the soul-sucking reality of high school, free from the watchful eyes of parents, free to do whatever they please. This is the start of EVERYTHING. This is what they've been waiting for for the last four years and it's finally here. Jupiter has always been kind of an introvert, not nearly as outgoing as her friends. Noelle and Diem love Jupiter for who she is and often try to drag her out of her shell. They have known her for a long time. They have met the real her and they absolutely adore her, but Jupiter hides within herself. She is terrified to be judged, rejected, or even looked at. She is the epitome of self-consciousness, while her carefree friends ooze confidence. With the new setting, Noelle and Diem hope to teach Jupiter how to let go and live in the moment. After multiple rounds of Truth or Dare, Jupiter somehow ends up with her first boyfriend, only it's just an act, or is it? Somewhere along the way, the line between what's real and fake starts to fade. Before long she finds herself falling for this stranger she just met, this stranger she could barely stand to be around. Not only does she find herself accidentally in love, but she also starts to gain confidence and stops overthinking everything so much.

"What do you mean?" "It's a simple question June... Are you happy?" "Y-yes." "Let me rephrase... Are you happily married?" "Why are you asking me all these questions?... I've given you the answers you needed, I don't..." "Shut the fuck up June!... It's a bloody simple question... Are. You. Happy?" he snaps. He's really mad right now and that makes me squirm in my seat. "Are you?" My voice comes out barely above a whisper, but enough for him to hear what I said... He stands and begins pacing, running his hands through his hair frustratedly and messing it up, his jaw locked, and he just continues to pace and that makes me uncomfortable... I stand, and he stops pacing and just stares at me, I try to look as confident as I can, but inside I'm nervous as hell and dying to know what he's thinking. "I'm not..."
