Lena stood on the bank of the river, the clear water flowing before her eyes, her mind drifting into the memories of the past. Suddenly, a voice called from behind, "Lena, how are you after so long?"

She turned around to see Rajeev standing there, a gentle smile on his face and a twinkle of curiosity in his eyes. Her heart stopped for a moment. It had been so long since she had seen Rajeev.

Once inseparable, Rajeev and Lena had shared their university days, trips, and countless discussions about books. But as time passed, circumstances drove them apart.

Rajeev approached her, saying, "I've been searching for you for a long time, and I finally found you here."

With a shy smile, Lena replied, "I was thinking about you too, but I didn't dare to reach out."

As they exchanged words, memories of their old days resurfaced. Lena realized that her feelings for Rajeev were still as strong as ever, and Rajeev felt the same, recognizing the special place Lena still held in his heart.

They sat by the riverside, watching the sunset, sharing stories, and laughing together. As night fell, they began to leave, but their eyes held the promise of a future. The love that once seemed lost had been rekindled.

This was not the end of Lena and Rajeev's story; it was just the beginning. Their love, renewed and stronger, was destined to grow with time.

His relationship with his father wasn't ever going to be amicable. Not after his mother's untimely death. B-5 was the only source of strength in his life. A permanent part of his life.

He took pride in being patient among his group but there was someone who could break his restraint with a snap of the fingers. Jo for everyone. For him- Jyothika Nair. 'His Talab.' {His Quest} None of her qualities would categorize her as a typical girl. Short tempered strong rational thinker to the point where everyone around her wants to pull their hair than cross-question her. She was right to use her brain over her heart. At least that was her belief. The easiest way to get a reaction was to challenge her. The tough environment in her personal life pushed her to give up tenderness of any sort. Head-on personality with a fragile heart hidden from everyone. Except one. Prithvi for everyone. For her, he was Raj. 'Her Yaaram.' {Her Beloved} His intense gaze would shred her façade before she could avert her eyes. There was captivating intimacy in their simple, teasing touches and playful banters. A longing, an unfathomable thirst of years waiting to be quenched. Best Friends for over a decade, secret lovers for years, yet no single progress in their relationship. Until destiny takes the matter into their hands. Can love conquer all, or will the huddles of life derail their fledgling romance?

"Ava, now!" Virin's voice sliced through the suffocating darkness, sharp and urgent. My body moved before my mind could catch up, legs burning as I sprinted toward the van where Kyra and Priti waited, their faces pale with terror. "Run! Faster, Ava!" Priti's frantic scream tore through the night, her fists slamming the steering wheel as if sheer willpower could propel me forward. My lungs screamed for air, my legs trembled with exhaustion, but I couldn't stop-not when freedom was just ten steps away. Ten. Nine. Eight- "Ava!" His voice cut through the chaos, low and venomous, freezing me mid-stride. It wasn't a command. It was a threat-a promise of destruction. "If you don't stop right now, I'll kill everyone who dares to stand between us!" The weight of his words coiled around me like chains, choking the air from my lungs. I knew he didn't bluff. I knew what he was capable of. "Not now, Ava! Run!" Virin's desperate voice shattered my paralysis as his grip yanked me forward, dragging me the final agonizing steps to the van. We tumbled inside, slamming the doors shut. For a fleeting moment, I dared to look back. There he stood, his figure looming in the distance, chest heaving with fury. His dark eyes burned with a rage that made my stomach twist. Slowly, he raised a finger, pointing at me. "You are mine," he growled, stabbing the same finger into his chest. Over my dead body. *** Ava's life once seemed perfect-best friends, a family she adored, and a love that felt like destiny. But perfection shatters. Caught between two men-one who sparks a fire she can't extinguish, and another who offers solace laced with shadows- Ava is thrust into a web of secrets, lies, and dangerous temptations. As her carefully rebuilt life unravels, every decision pulls her closer to the edge. He stole her freedom. He tried to steal her soul. But Ava still has something he can't touch, her will to survive.

Silent Desires by jyothi__nagaraj

In a conservative South Indian college, a 27-year-old lecturer and a 19-year-old student from a traditional family navigate a forbidden love. Their journey is filled with romance, jealousy, passion, and anger as they battle societal norms and their own emotions, leading to moments of intense connection and heart-wrenching conflicts. Their eyes met, and the world around them seemed to fade. For a moment, it was just the two of them, the music, and the unspoken connection between them. "Sir, this is..." she began, but he cut her off. "Arjun," he said softly. "Just Arjun tonight." Her lips parted in surprise, but she nodded. "Okay... Arjun. "You look beautiful tonight," he murmured, his voice so soft she almost didn't hear him. Her breath hitched, and she felt her cheeks grow warm. "Thank you... Arjun." He smiled at her use of his name, and for a moment, they forgot about their surroundings. As the song ended, there was a brief shuffle on the dance floor as students moved around. In the commotion, someone bumped into Ananya, causing her to lose her balance. Arjun instinctively reached out to steady her, pulling her close. The sudden movement brought their faces mere inches apart. Before either of them could process what was happening, their lips brushed in a fleeting, accidental kiss. Time seemed to freeze. Ananya's eyes widened in shock, while Arjun's grip on her waist tightened slightly before he quickly stepped back. "I... I didn't mean to-" he began, his voice filled with panic. "It's okay," she interrupted, her face flushed with embarrassment and something she couldn't quite name. They glanced around, relieved to see that no one had noticed the incident. "Maybe we should... step outside for some fresh air," Arjun suggested, his composure barely intact. Ananya nodded, following him out to the garden area, where the cool night air helped calm their racing hearts. ---------------------------------------------------
