"Perhaps they are not Stars, but rather openings in the heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down on us to let us know
they are happy.'' - S.S.
When fourteen years old Tara Sharma wakes one morning to the heart- wrenching cries of her mother, her sleep addled brain manages to realize one thing: that something is wrong, very wrong.
Left to cope suddenly with emotions, so new and vicious that her heart aches all the time, thoughts so depressing and pessimistic that her head throbs every minute and tears so fresh and hot that her eyes appear red and swollen all day, following her father's death, she does not know where the thin line between reality and fantasy begins and ends anymore.
***********
"taaro par likhi hai humne apni tamanna
poora ho jaye hamara yeh khwaab nannha"
{Writing our longings on the stars
With the hope that they will fulfill
This little dream of ours}
Wishes upon the stars seldom come true, and rarely do they get fulfilled almost immediately.
However, When Tara opens her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar place, where everything is dark and black- except the people who seem to shine from within, carrying an ethereal light- the first thought that flashes through her mind is the wish she had made upon a shooting star.
Tracing her steps as she finds herself in the very centre of her imaginations, with no knowledge how she got there in the very first place or how to get out of there, Follow her journey as she explores the unknown, and sorts through her feelings and emotions.
Can you survive in an unchartered piece of territory where you are perceived to be an anomaly?
Perhaps only the stars can tell...

"I will be waiting then" She answered with a warm smile "Can I consider that a yes for our future meeting? Can I hope for a future with you, Lavanya?"

Forever : The Cream Sweater | COMPLETED | Part 1
The story is complete. If you are searching for something which is not just romance, but emotions and a lot of drama, this is the right book for you. I'm attempting to write something unconventional, exploring not just the love life of these characters, but their history, their family and their bond together. ***** He took a seat by the kitchen counter. With the cream coloured shirt on, he looked so much like, like he belonged here. Like, he was all, mine. I could stand by the kitchen counter and stare at him forever. How cute and innocent he looks. How can I not be selfish when it comes to such a lovely balloon of happiness. How can I let him go for Tara? I can't. I simply can't. I served the dinner on two plates and we sat down eating. Every now and then, I kept looking at Abhaas. He's as much a friend to Tara as he's to me, maybe a little more than a friend to me but he's also a friend who wishes to help her. I'm being the low, loathsome nasty human being that is keeping him all to myself while he can go out to help her. How selfish am I? He's this precious jewel that I'm keeping captive. He's the golden bird in the cage of my friendship. I have no right to take away his right to fly. He should go out, see more trees, play with more flowers, maybe soar high in the sky to reach the stars, his star, his Tara. Sunshine is something he doesn't need, he doesn't need Ahana. He needs, night... darkness. Darkness that illuminates numerous stars that are awaiting his presence. A faint voice fell on my ears as Abhaas side hugged me. It's late, he's going back home. He left the house, the house of first ray of sunshine, to welcome the night, the darkness, the absence of sunlight. Do read my book Forever: The cream sweaterComplete

NOTE : It's a sequel to "Lost" and cannot be read as a standalone. ● ♡ ● "Are there any stars?" She inquires and he doesn't understand what she meant. There were no stars. "Can you see the moon up there?" She continues. There was no moon. "It's dark." Ayansh replies when he sees her waiting for his response. Inaaya turns her gaze to him, a peculiar look swimming in her eyes. "Exactly." Ayansh looks back at her, more confusion getting painted over his face. "It's dark. No stars, no moon, nothing." Inaaya adds solemnly. "That's how we're and that's how things between us stand. I trusted you and you broke it and that's the end. There's no hope or light here. All there ever will be around is despair." Ayansh listens to her and after a moment, carefully, takes a step ahead and a slight relief washes over him when she doesn't flinch. "Look up again." He whispers and after a little reluctance, she follows. "Surely it's dark," he says as she watches the sky ardently. "But it doesn't promise to be dark forever," he murmurs lowly and her heart thuds against her ribcage at the determination his voice held. "It's dark today but tomorrow? Maybe tomorrow, there will be stars and the moon too. Maybe tomorrow, you can see the light and the hope too. Maybe tomorrow, the despair would fade away." 🥀 That's the thing about soulmates; they always find a way to each other. ALWAYS. Ayansh Mehra and Inaaya Rai were a little naive, a little foolish in love but oh, they were so in love and it would be a shame if they couldn't find their way back to each other, to the arms they belong, to their HOME.Complete

Fading In The Sun
I loved you as Icarus loved the sun- too close, too much. The sun is lost, no longer in centre orbit, the light is gone. Darkness resides in hearts and in minds. Shattered beyond repair, the words we spat at the departing of light, plunging into darkness. How can you have no recollection? A freak accident, memories fading away, Pragya believed light was found. Believed her Kiara to be alive. That was years ago. Yet to her, only a day ago. The mind, a vessel beyond anyone's comprehension. It locked away what hurt the most, the memories of a haunting past that kept her awake at night. Now resurfacing in this charade they display for her sake, in this hate they conceal for her sake, in this love they pretend to have for her sake, this is the reality that should have been- if only they listened to the heart, not the mind. It's all for her, this pretence of a family they never were. This part they play, it's not theirs. Names and relations are muddled but to her, everything is where it should be. They smile brightly together, picture-perfect, yet alone cry themselves to sleep. Like Icarus desiring to conquer the sun, they burn it in. Eternally shrieking, but no one can hear. In the devoid empty darkness of the space between them. Playing this game, their sanity is fleeting and they slowly begin to fade- fading in the sun. ---Fading In The Sun--- Canon divergent. Takes place when Pragya got hit by Riya's car. ---Fading In The Sun--- Initially a One-shot but is now a story in collaboration with @shadycrazyme Beautiful cover by @shadycrazyme ---Fading In The Sun--- On hold.
