Rihaan :
"Anya is like the sun... she's the one who makes everything warm and bright, even when I'm scared. I think, if I hold onto her long enough, maybe the world will stay like that-soft and warm, and I won't have to worry about the dark."
Ananya :
"I would break myself a thousand times if it meant he could stay unbroken. His heart is a fragile thing, and mine will always be the shield that holds him safe from a world that doesn't deserve his light."
_______
In the sequel to Innocence, life for Ananya and Rihaan is messy, yet beautifully tangled. Their days are filled with laughter, love, and the subtle ache of a past Rihaan can't fully recall. Ananya, ever the protector, cherishes his innocence, but beneath the childlike demeanor lies a brokenness he's unable to confront.
One day, the cracks in Rihaan's facade begin to show. His playful nature falters, and the depth of his trauma surfaces. Ananya is forced to confront a truth she's long feared: Rihaan's past is far darker than she ever imagined.
When Raj, Rihaan's brother, finally reveals the horrors he endured in his childhood, Ananya makes it her mission to heal him, to strip away the layers of pain and replace them with love. But Rihaan's mind-torn between the child he once was and the man he's supposed become-resists. The harder Ananya tries, the deeper the battle becomes, as Rihaan's past and present collide in ways neither of them can control.
In the end, can love heal what the mind refuses to remember? Or will the ghosts of his past break them both?

Mahobbat ka Ehsaas
She believes life is a story written by the divine - unpredictable, bittersweet, but always worth living. He treats life like a battlefield - calculated, silent, and often, lonely. Ehsaas Kaur, a spirited first-year AFMC cadet, walks through life with stars in her eyes and mischief in her smile. Her laughter hides stories she never speaks of, and her loyalty begins and ends with her family. Drawing, dreaming, an defying the norm - she's the kind of girl who leaves sunshine in her wake. Avyakt Singh, a no-nonsense, steel-hearted 4th term NDA cadet, is her polar opposite. Raised by his grandparents after a tragic loss, he wears silence like a second skin. Disciplined to the core, poetic in private, he's a man whose eyes have seen too much, and whose heart trusts too little. They meet by accident - a holiday, a park, a moment. Banter turns to bickering. Sparks to silences. Distance to a strange kind of closeness. But theirs is not a story of fireworks. It's a story of slow-burning embers - of two souls who never looked for love, yet slowly find it in the cracks of each other's armor. As duty calls and miles stretch long, as fears rise and pasts unravel - they learn that love doesn't always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it grows quietly. Like trust. Like healing. Like home. A journey of becoming - not just officers, but people who feel deeply, fall slowly, and love relentlessly.
