In their mid-40s, Naina and Arjun have built a seemingly perfect life together with two teenage kids and a comfortable home. But behind closed doors, their marriage is filled with unspoken tensions, old regrets, and an emotional distance that has left Naina questioning her place in Arjun's life.

When Aditya, Naina's charming college friend and former crush, unexpectedly reappears, he reminds her of the laughter and confidence she once had. Watching her reconnect with Aditya, Arjun faces a startling realization: he may lose the woman he took for granted. Driven by jealousy and an unfamiliar fear of abandonment, he's forced to confront the painful past he's kept hidden for years-the past that has prevented him from fully opening his heart to Naina.

As Naina rediscovers herself, Arjun stumbles through awkward attempts to show his love, leading to humorous missteps, heartfelt confessions, and moments of undeniable chemistry. But with old wounds, jealousy, and insecurities threatening to tear them apart, can Arjun and Naina move beyond their misunderstandings and rebuild a love that has been buried for too long.

Beneath the Surface is a story of rediscovering love, where second chances, heartfelt confessions, and a shared laughter prove that sometimes, love is found not in grand gestures but in the quiet moments and the decision to stay, no matter how deep the scars run.

Naina...A girl with an optimistic nature. She finds positivity in every bad thing, she is someone who wouldn't ever express her pain to anyone, not even to her own mother. She was a passionate Kathakali Dancer, she is unparalleled at studies, she is gracious by heart, timid and self-consciousness by brain because since childhood She was listening to only one word, and that was She has a excessively dusky skin complexion, and No guy would ever wish to love her body. She doesn't mind having toxic people around her, who instead of encouraging her for her exceptional merits, finds opportunities to taunt her for her darkish face colour. But sometimes She yearned to have an understanding partner or a friend, who would have understood her situation, and helped her to come out of the delusion that She isn't made to be loved, and she doesn't deserve to have high expectations from anyone. Her hope of receiving love from someone was dwindling each and every day, and The stinging comments thrown by her own folks about her inability to look beautiful was shattering her heart awfully. But there was someone, who used to admire her with only one wish to see her once in a lifetime genuinely delighted and confident. There was someone, who always loved her for her calibre and courteous nature. He never disliked her dull skin. But He knew he wasn't the appropriate guy with whom this girl could spend her whole life. He knew he wasn't qualified enough to be in her liking list, that is why He never summoned up courage to confess his love to her, to that girl whom He gifted his heart for lifetime. Will She ever accept that She isn't born to be hated by this judgemental society? Will she ever know the feelings of her one-sided lover? NOTE : The whole story is solely imagined and written by me, if you will dare to copy a single line or any scene from this book. Then don't forget I know how to make someone famous in just one night. :) Cover Credit - @_littlebitcrazy_

My Charming Husband by LongingWords
25 parts Ongoing Mature
As I took a seat beside her, I realised that she was awfully quiet. "Is everything fine", I asked her. Naina licked her lips and looked at me. For a few seconds none of us said anything and then finally she said- "Aakash, my family has a second-hand car. I have been earning for quite sometime now but my savings aren't enough for even a bike. We live in a small apartment, which you have seen already, throughout my life I have shared everything...my books, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, even my laptop with my elder sister." I did not understand why Naina was saying all this with a sad expression. To me, everything that concerns her always feels happy and worth being proud of. She continued- "What I am saying Aakash, is that I am nowhere worthy, capable, or even habituated of a life where my husband owns a house with an elevator or where he wishes to buy me a helicopter. We are so different, Aakash. This scares me a lot". Not even for a moment have I ever felt that Naina would be insecure of my living standards. But, I understood where she was coming from. "Naina", I replied, "All this extravagant decorations, this lavish home, my expensive lifestyle,none of this means anything to me. It is a facade I have to maintain for the world. YOU ARE MY HOME". *** Here's the story of Naina Khanna and Aakash Arora. Two people who are from completely different backgrounds, however destiny brings them together and their souls connect. But, when dreams come true unexpectedly, can you keep them safe?

He opens the car's door for me, then he clasps my seat belt, when I'm sitting inside the car, that time I see girls are ogling at his back view, god nowadays girls are totally shameless as well as hopeless. I glare at them but they are not paying attention to me so they don't see my glare, which raised my anger more. I don't have any idea what comes on me, I cup Kabir's cheeks with both my hands and kiss him. #1 in arrangedmarriage 18.12.2022 #1 in MBA many times #1 in childhoodsweethearts 20.02.2022 #1 in Yourstoryindia 24.08.2021 #1 in Wattapadindia 18.12.2022 #3 in Romance on 06.02.2021 #2 in Indian on 18.12.2022 #9 in Care on 15.02.2021 #1 in Jealousy on 24.08.2022 #1 in innocent on 18.12.2022 Please give it a try.

P.S - Starting chapters are boring just stick to it till 7-8chp after that you will surely love the story.
