Kenji Kishimoto has always hidden behind humor-a shield against the chaos of war, loss, and the weight of responsibility. Nazeera Ibrahim, on the other hand, is a storm wrapped in gold, unreadable and untouchable. Their banter is a game, a distraction, a way to keep the walls up. But between stolen glances and unspoken truths, the lines between teasing and something more begin to blur.
As tensions rise within the Sanctuary and shadows from the past threaten to resurface, Kenji and Nazeera find themselves caught in a dangerous push and pull. What happens when the person you refuse to fall for becomes the one you can't walk away from?
A slow-burn story of sharp words, unspoken feelings, and a love that refuses to be ignored.

Beneath the Surface ( Completed )
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.Complete
Accidentally Yours. Season 1
Harsha : "Come in." He said, not even bothering to look up from his work. He was wearing a beige linen suit with a crisp white shirt underneath.Okay, not bad," I thought, even though he looked hot. Not that I would ever admit it, of course! Akshu : "Yes, sir, do you need something? You called me in the middle of the celebrations-not that I'm complaining or anything." I clearly stated it sarcastically, showing my displeasure at being called out of all the classroom representatives. He finally looked up and locked his gaze on me, staring without blinking for what felt like minutes. We held each other's eyes, as if time itself had come to a standstill around us. His intense gaze held something I couldn't quite describe, and slowly, he stood up, still saying nothing. The air between us crackled with unspoken tension. He slowly began to take steps toward me-step, step, step... I instinctively started to back away, gulping as he closed the distance between us, striding toward me like I was his prey. He finally reached me, pinning me against the wall, and just as I was about to say something, he leaned in closer......... Harsha : "Shhhhhh." I was scared, my heart racing like a drum. Suddenly, he leaned in closer, his face inches from mine, and...
