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![Destined Hearts [ON HOLD]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/386508146-256-k233190.jpg)
Destined Hearts [ON HOLD]
People don't fall in love all at once. They fall in glances. In arguments. In moments so ordinary, you don't realize something irreversible is happening. Until it's too late. --- "Do you think people always leave?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why do you ask?" She shrugs. "Just a thought." They weren't supposed to matter to each other. It was supposed to be a passing chapter. A collision, not a connection. But fate doesn't ask what you're ready for. Amidst the flickering glow of wedding lights, stolen glances, and unspoken words, their worlds collided in ways neither could have foreseen. --- "Jealous already?" he teased, that familiar smirk tugging at his lips. "Should I be flattered?" "As if," she scoffed, but her voice gave her away. --- The way he looked at her - like she was the only person in the world who made sense - scared her more than she could admit. "I'm leaving tonight," she whispered. He froze. "What?" --- Three years passed. And yet, he was still waiting. Now they've met again. The moment their eyes lock, it all comes rushing back. The laughter. The ache. The words they never said. ...... at least for him. Because she doesn't remember.![Tum Mile [Slow Updates]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/372704042-256-k580965.jpg)
