"I-I... I was just... tr-trying to say th-that I-"
"Breathe, Kabir" she whispered, not rushing him. "I'm listening."
He paused, blinking. No one had ever waited.
From childhood, every sentence he spoke came with a pause, a repeat, a stutter. A stumble. And society? Oh, they didn't let him forget it. Teachers cut him off, kids mimicked him cruelly and even relatives would sigh, "Why can't he just talk properly?"
He started talking less.
Until Tishya.
She didn't mock. She didn't complete his sentences. She let him stumble. And to her, that was part of his shine.
Stumble and Shine is the journey of Kabir-a boy who never believed his voice mattered and Tishya, the girl who proved it always did. It's about love, acceptance, healing and how sometimes the most beautiful things are spoken imperfectly.

Destined Hearts [ON HOLD]
People don't fall in love all at once. They fall in glances. In arguments. In moments so ordinary, you don't realize something irreversible is happening. Until it's too late. --- "Do you think people always leave?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why do you ask?" She shrugs. "Just a thought." They weren't supposed to matter to each other. It was supposed to be a passing chapter. A collision, not a connection. But fate doesn't ask what you're ready for. Amidst the flickering glow of wedding lights, stolen glances, and unspoken words, their worlds collided in ways neither could have foreseen. --- "Jealous already?" he teased, that familiar smirk tugging at his lips. "Should I be flattered?" "As if," she scoffed, but her voice gave her away. --- The way he looked at her - like she was the only person in the world who made sense - scared her more than she could admit. "I'm leaving tonight," she whispered. He froze. "What?" --- Three years passed. And yet, he was still waiting. Now they've met again. The moment their eyes lock, it all comes rushing back. The laughter. The ache. The words they never said. ...... at least for him. Because she doesn't remember.

(not edited) This is the book I never even admired. It was more like a journal for me-just ranting and never meant to be published. I only uploaded it so that my friend could read it, and I never imagined people would actually love it. So, it's nothing like Whispered Vows-that's the book I poured my heart and soul into, dedicating 5-6 months completely. So please, don't judge me by this book 😂!! It was written when I was a teen and remained just a draft for almost a year from 2022 to 2024. Happy Reading ✨ (SHORT STORY) #𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 1 ~𝑨𝒃𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒉 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒂 -19 - 30 age (at the start of the story) -6'2 height -sunshine ~𝑲𝒂𝒗𝒚𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒋𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒉 -18-29 age - 5'2 height -ambivert . .

Written in qadr
They thought it was just another school year. But Allah had already written everything. Kinza crashes into a new school - literally. Loud, impulsive, and always 5 seconds away from detention. She wasn't supposed to fall for Zayd, the calm, silent boy who treats feelings like forbidden chapters. But this story? It's not just about them. It's about Anaya, Shruti, Eyana, Meghna - girls with laughter in their lungs and secrets in their hearts. Hamza, the quiet rock. Hamdan, the chaos in a hoodie. Rayyan, with spoken glance And Aris - the little brother no one asked for but everyone ends up loving. They fight, forgive, cry, crush, and sometimes... fall apart. This is a story of windows that remember glances, prayers whispered under breaths, du'as made in silence, and the ache of loving someone you were never meant to hold - but always meant to meet. Because in the end, some stories aren't just felt. They're Written in Qadr.

FATE'S HIDDEN TUNE [A Story Of Heartbreak, Healing And Home]
"Aa hi jaata hai jispe dil aana hota hai... Har khushi se, har gham se anjaana hota hai." Some people enter your life like strangers... but your heart always knew them. Destiny has its own tune and when it plays, even the most guarded hearts must listen. Rudraansh Raichand, a powerful businessman, the heir to a multi-industry empire from luxury hotels to charitable foundations, is known for his sharp mind, ruthless ambition and unshakable loyalty to his family. But behind the cold eyes and calm exterior lies a boy scarred by childhood tragedy. He doesn't believe in love. He doesn't believe in God. He believes in control until she walks in. Anvika Malhotra, a bubbly second-year college student, is the sunshine of her family - deeply loved, especially by her protective elder brother. A girl with her own unique dreams, a quiet strength and a heart full of faith. A devotee of Shivji, she believes destiny always has a reason. When their worlds collide through a family connection no one expected, everything begins to change. What starts as a misunderstanding... Becomes a series of unspoken glances. A dramatic rescue. A moment where Rudraansh, wounded and bleeding, protects her without hesitation, even when they are on opposite sides of pain. Slowly, fate binds them closer. And closer. Until one day, when the walls fall and the words finally come: "You are the reason I breathe." "Without you, I'm nothing." But what happens when fate tests them again? When heartbreak returns and belief is shattered? Will their love survive when destiny changes its tune again? Fate's Hidden Tune is a slow-burn Indian romance filled with emotional scars, soft healing, unconditional family love, and the kind of connection that makes even silence feel loud. 🌸 A story of hurt and healing, belief and betrayal, love and destiny. 💌 For those who believe some love stories are written not in words, but in fate itself.
Whisper's of destiny
🌌 Whisper's of Destiny 🌌 By @ashii_verse 🖤 "Some stories aren't meant to be told. They're meant to bleed through silence... and leave scars where no one sees." --- Avni. Soft. Subtle. Almost invisible to the world. But beneath her quiet grace lies a storm she's too afraid to name. She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't ask for more. She simply exists - until he sees her. The man no one dares to look in the eye... yet she meets his gaze with trembling honesty. Rajveer. Sharp mind. Cold presence. A man who speaks less and controls more. He doesn't crave love. He craves silence, control, and order. But there's something about her - the way she lowers her eyes when he speaks, the way her fear doesn't hide her truth - that draws him in like a storm waiting to be unleashed. --- ❝ You look at me like I'm human, Avni... ❞ ❝ But I've spent my whole life making sure I'm not. ❞ ❝ And still... ❞ ❝ You make me want to be yours. ❞ --- This is not a love story. This is restraint and desire at war. A girl too soft for his world. A man too dangerous for hers. And a fate that ties them together - not gently, but violently. He doesn't know how to love. She doesn't know how to leave. And somewhere in the silence between them, something begins to burn... slowly, darkly, beautifully. ✨ Whisper's of Destiny - a haunting slow-burn of longing, power, and a love so quiet... it leaves nothing untouched. ---Complete
