O re piya ~ fading into forever
Everyone has a story... we can never really know the silent battles someone is fighting even the people you think you're closest to. Smiles can be rehearsed, laughter can be a shield, and sometimes the loudest cries are the ones no one hears. This isn't just a story about love... it's about the chaos that lives beneath it. The overthinking, the self-doubt, the past that refuses to stay behind, and the quiet moments where you're forced to face yourself with no distractions left. Aziza smiles like she's fine. She laughs at the right moments, says the right things... but there's a kind of silence in her that no one really notices. Not even the people closest to her. Except Ayaan, who himself is drowning under a silent pressure he can't really name yet He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't try to fix her. He just stays...through the quiet, through the chaos, through all the things she can't say out loud. And somehow, that scares her more than anything else. Because understanding someone is easy. Letting them understand you? That's where everything falls apart. But not all stories are soft. Some are loud. Messy. Completely out of control. Naina and Rohan are exactly that. They argue like it's a sport, compete over the stupidest things, and swear they can't stand each other... yet somehow end up together in every situation that matters. It's chaos, it's tension, it's definitely not love, or at least that's what they keep telling themselves. In between silent breakdowns, unspoken feelings, stupid fights, and moments that mean a little too much- this isn't just a love story. It's about breaking. It's about staying. It's about the kind of people who don't know how to say "I need you"... but show it anyway. PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING THE STORY
Gaze (Dark Romance)
|18+| "Enough is enough," she said to herself. "I'm going to ask him out." Getting up from her seat, she walked over to where he was seated. "Um, hi! I was wondering if we could grab some coffee and maybe hang out sometime?" she asked nervously. He turned to her, a sense of darkness and danger emanating from him. Her body went on alert. "You shouldn't be able to see me," he said with a smiling like a Cheshire cat. . . . "I scratch and bite" she warned "You'll crawl and beg too" he smirked. . . . The Ripple She hardly has time to breathe, much less dream, considering that she is juggling two difficult jobs. One face, nevertheless, sticks out in the midst of the chaos of her daily subway rides: a mysterious guy whom she covertly refers to as "the subway hottie." His mysterious presence becomes the high point of her daily routine-a secret joy. However, one day, with an unusual burst of courage, she dares to break the silence between them. What starts off as a brief connection quickly develops into something forbidden and thrilling. She has no idea that this seemingly random meeting will upend her meticulously planned life in ways she never could have predicted. The Echo He had to grow up too early after being born into an uncertain circumstance and found refuge and survival in the shadow of an underground empire. From a street-hardened recruit to a trusted enforcer in the family's inner circle, what started out as a desperate decision quickly turned into a way of life. However, trust is brittle and was destroyed the day he discovered a cruel betrayal that left him bloodied and drove him to flee. His only goal now is to exact revenge, and The Nemesis is his target. But his well-laid schemes fall apart when she gets in his way. His icy determination starts to soften for the first time, and he has to decide whether seeking vengeance is worth losing the one thing he never thought he deserved-her. 𝔘𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔲𝔠𝔱𝔦𝔬
