Some of us have real jobs, you know. Vikram: Ah, yes, the life of a corporate minion. How's that working out for you? Still drowning in Excel sheets? Alizeh: Pretty much.

His Dream World by authourShreya
6 parts Ongoing
In the heart of a bustling city, two souls navigate life with guarded hearts, shaped by experiences that taught them caution, restraint, and self-reliance. Shreya, a devoted government employee, lives quietly within the safe walls of her family. Cheerful and warm at home, she is a portrait of joy with her parents and younger brother-but outside, she remains reserved, careful with her words, and wary of trust. Her dreams of family are quiet and measured: a son to cherish, a daughter to nurture, and a husband who respects women and understands the value of love and loyalty. Yet, past disappointments keep her heart closed, her imagination torn between hope and fear. Reyan Singh Mewar, a formidable business tycoon with generational wealth, walks a life of discipline, dominance, and responsibility. Loved by few, bound by duty, and admired by many, he hides a deep longing for companionship behind a facade of authority and control. Once deceived by love, he refuses to risk his heart again, yet he cannot deny a quiet desire to experience family life-the laughter of children, the tender bonds of a wife who listens, respects, and stands beside him. Fate brings them together in a carefully arranged alliance-a marriage built on duty, respect, and measured expectations. Both are determined not to ask for more than what life requires, yet both harbor private dreams of warmth, connection, and joy. The story unfolds as they navigate the delicate balance between responsibility and emotion, between past scars and future possibilities. Will love bloom in the space between silence and duty? Can they allow themselves the freedom to dream together, or will they remain trapped in their own caution? Through misunderstandings, small joys, and quiet moments-like the simple act of shaping clay on a pottery wheel-their journey questions whether hearts closed by life can truly open, and whether two people can create a shared life richer than the sum of their individual fears and hopes.

He was the doctor everyone feared. She was quiet, but not weak. He was strong, but not whole. She wanted freedom. He wanted control. But fate had other plans. When Dr. Faraj Ahmad-a man known for his discipline and detachment-finds himself entangled in the life of Zubia Fatima, an intern with secrets in her eyes and fire in her soul, something begins to crack. A stolen glance. A lingering silence. A battle of wills wrapped in unspoken words. She gets under his skin. He unsettles her in ways she can't explain. A heart that never wavered. A girl who never trusted. And a journey that neither of them saw coming. Some loves are whispered in stolen moments. Others are written in fate. This one? It's both. --- A story of love, longing, and the undeniable pull of destiny. Are you ready to witness a love that defies reason? Neither of them wanted love. But fate had already decided otherwise. A slow-burn story of resilience, longing, and a love worth fighting for. Because sometimes, the best love stories are the ones we never see coming. #2 halal[21/05/25] #6 blame[27/05/25] #5 fictionalmen[27/05/25]
