"The First Kiss Was Goodbye" by miss bidhuri
π The First Kiss Was Goodbye π She hated him without a word. He loved her without a chance. Tanvi and Rudra never spoke. Yet their silences screamed. She called him arrogant, unreadable - the boy she claimed to hate but couldn't ignore. He watched from afar, silently falling for the girl who was never his to love. When fate forced their paths to cross, sparks didn't fly - they smoldered. In glances. In tension. In the way his touch branded her skin like a secret. But love is never enough in a world ruled by silence, family, and sacrifice. She left with no goodbye. He broke without a sound. One kiss. Too late. Too full of everything they never said. This isn't a love story. It's a heartbreak that lingers, a slow burn that never dies. Because some souls don't move on... They wait.
