The Chaos We Called LOVE
In a cold city, on a rain-soaked day, two warm-hearted souls collide - and their first meeting is anything but gentle. He's handsome, charming, and adored - the national heartthrob and current chocolate boy of the Indian cricket team. Cricket is his first love, the only rhythm he's ever lived by. Until he meets her. She's the queen of her own world - a renowned CEO and CTO of one of India's most prestigious companies. A psychologist by birth and a technologist by heart, she believes in logic over love, in purpose over passion. To her, love is a myth... until destiny proves otherwise. If even their best friends carry such magnetic energy, imagine the storm when these two worlds collide. Have you ever believed in love at first sight? That rare, 90's kind of love we all secretly long for in the 21st century - the kind that feels impossible... until it happens. But what if it happens between two high-profile lives standing under different skies? He's the man every camera follows, yet haunted by one face. She's the woman the world admires, yet unknown in her own heart. Will he wait for the one who slipped away? Will she ever remember the man who changed her silence? Can love survive fame, distance, and reason itself? Sometimes, love doesn't arrive politely - it storms in, unexpected, uninvited, unforgettable. This is the story of a national hero and a soft-spoken, introverted psychologist-turned-tech leader - two opposites who weren't searching for love, but found it in the chaos of silence. Their fates crossed once in the rain. What follows is everything that silence never dared to say.
Everything and Nothing
There's a space between moments that most people never notice-the quiet gap between lightning and thunder, between inhale and exhale. That's where she lives, caught in the stillness while the world moves around her. She has all the right answers in class, smiles when expected, walks the familiar paths home. To everyone else, she's the quiet, brilliant girl who seems to have it all figured out. But inside her mind, questions spiral endlessly: *Am I real, or just reacting? Am I living, or simply watching myself move?* Between morning tea with her parents and afternoon races with Ren-her childhood friend who notices when she drifts too far away-she navigates the strange territory of existing while feeling like a stranger in her own life. Every ordinary moment becomes a puzzle piece in a picture she can't quite see, every silence heavy with thoughts she doesn't know how to voice. This is a story about the weight of consciousness, the beauty found in small moments, and the quiet courage it takes to keep questioning what it means to be real. Sometimes the most profound journeys happen not through grand adventures, but through the tender examination of a single heartbeat, a shared umbrella in the rain, or the way sunlight filters through classroom windows. What happens when you feel like you're always one step behind the rhythm of the world? What if the deepest mysteries aren't found in detective novels, but in the simple act of being awake? Perfect for readers who love introspective literary fiction, gentle slice-of-life narratives, and stories that find meaning in the spaces between words.

Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
