Aiden Acharya's first love was Aru Shah. He knew it from the moment he saw her. It was going to be her, no matter what. Always.
But what happens when the ghosts of past catch up to haunt him? When the fear of turning into a monster overcomes him so much that he can't even bring himself to look her in the eye. Stepping back was something he never imagined he'd do. Not to mention it hurts like hell.
But knowing there was someone better for her out there? That, for him, was heaven.

LOVE OR ARRANGED ?
"Arush! Please don't do or say something that you're going to regret later." "Just stop it, Aadhya! I thought you would know your limits but no, you had to destroy everything. Do you even know how important this project is? Do you even know what achieving this project means to my parents? What do you even know about fulfilling your parent's dreams when you don't have one?" Arush left the room in a fit of anger without realizing the havoc his words have created in Aadhya's heart. Shocked would be an understatement for what Aadhya is feeling at this moment. All the memories of her past, sweet and bitter are hitting her strongly but she didn't shed a single tear. Is her heart really calm or is this the calmness before an upcoming storm? Sometimes it doesn't take a weapon to inflict pain, all it needs is a hurting word from your close ones.Complete

Bridal Season
Ugh. Aru's mom was filling out a bio on "mydesimatch.com". ANOTHER dating website. When was she gonna stop? Oh yeah-- Aru's mom was the kind that was set on finding a good match for her wedding. You know, rich, high salary, good-looking, etc. What happens when she meets Aiden Acharya, the son of a mother thinking the same as hers? ...They DO NOT hit it off. At all. But that might change when they decide to fake date to be rid of the nosy aunties' prying eyes. Sparks fly, but will they eventually die out?Complete
Snapshots
When it came to her sister's crush, Aru Shah couldn't care less than she already did. She didn't even know the guy, and it didn't help that he was the hot topic in all of Kara's and Aru's conversations. She knew she had to meet the dude someday, because of their mutual friend group, but she didn't expect to meet him to help him and Kara for their project. It helped her too, so what was the point in denying? Aiden knew people only liked him, and talked to him because of his looks. He knew love was a waste of time, because the guy Aiden actually was was someone who nobody cared about. But when one of his friends came up to him and told him that she had found a model for their end-of-year project, he readily accepted, not knowing that this one person would make him change his perspective. In the end, he realised, there were albums of snapshots, all overflowing with pictures of memories he never knew he wanted.Complete

Aru Shah and The Curse of Kamadeva (DISCONTINUED)
(Aru x Aiden forever :D) (Also, this takes place right after Aru Shah and The City Of Gold.) The first time that the pandavas met Kamadeva, it went well. They returned his bow, and he gave them magical gifts. This time, however, things go sour. Kamadeva curses Aru, saying that she is doomed to fall in love with someone who didn't love her back. (Looks like he learned a few tricks from Aphrodite...) Fortunately... that curse might not be true. Aru's POV- I've always liked Aiden. Forever, and ever, and ever... But now he knows. I just feel SO AWKWARD around him. (I mean like, more than I already do, obviously.) After he kissed me... we both try to forget it ever happened, even if I don't want to. I... I feel like he wants nothing to do with me. Actually, I don't think that kiss changed anything. We still try our best to avoid talking to each other one-on-one. That might not be possible with Kamadeva's curse though... Aiden's POV- I've always thought of Aru as a friend for the past few years, but somewhere along the way... things changed. I started to view her differently. I noticed things that I never did before... The way her hair was always tucked behind her ear, the way that her skin glowed when she was in battle, the way her eyes were filled with such beauty... Why am I noticing them now? Did... something change between us? And my biggest question of all... why DID I kiss her?Complete
