"Sayyah-e-Saya" (The Shadow Traveller) is a thrilling detective fiction inspired by the legendary style of Ishtiaq Ahmed-the master of suspense, mystery, and family-friendly crime-solving adventures. This story is a tribute to his unforgettable characters like Inspector Jamshed, Inspector Kamran Mirza, and the Shoki Brothers, who shaped the imaginations of generations with their intelligence, bravery, and wit.
This is not a copy or a comparison, but simply an homage-a fan-written fiction created out of deep admiration for Ishtiaq Ahmed's work. The goal is to relive those golden moments and bring his style back to life in a new way for those who miss his magical world of clues, codes, and courageous kids.
I can never match his brilliance-but this is my way of saying thank you for the inspiration he gave to so many readers.

A cricketer, a influncer cum journalist, and a misunderstanding so dumb it deserves its own press conference. Aviranya Carlisle's biggest crime? Saying she was sick of seeing Shubman Gill's airport looks in the news. Apparently, that was enough for Mr. Overreact to unfollow her, ignore her existence, and hold a grudge for months. Fast forward to few months-Avi's runs into him again and he's acting like she personally insulted his entire cricketing career. So, obviously, she calls him out. "Oye, Gill, tujhe problem kya hai?" "Mujhse zyada kisi aur ko problem thi, I think." "Gill, stop being cryptic before I actually throw my drink at you." "I heard you in Mumbai, okay?" "Heard what? That I was tired of your airport headlines?" And just like that-BOOM-entertainment for the entire Indian team. Virat's invested. I shan's ready to roast. And Shubman? He's realizing he's been holding a grudge over absolutely nothing. An unfollow, a confrontation, and now... a follow-back. But if the team has anything to say about it (and they definitely do), things are just getting started. This is my first book so please be a little patient and understanding with me.Complete

Muraad~e~Siya
~ A story as a Poetry itself ~ MURAAD SIDDIQUI "He never touched the flame. He simply waited for it to burn its way to him." Born into power, raised in shadows, Muraad Siddiqui was promised a bride before he could even tie his shoelaces - a girl he'd never met, but whose name sounded like poetry: Siya. While the world handed him legacy, influence, and control, he built a life around the only thing he never chose but always wanted. By the time she stepped into his haveli, still a child in uniform, he had already crafted a world where she was the centre. But love like his is not tender. It's sharp. Unvoiced. Unholy. Because how do you love someone who sees you as a stranger, when you've lived every breath for them? He stays close-but silent. Present-but untouchable. Not because he can't confess. But because what he feels could undo her entire world. SIYA RAGHUVANSHI "She was signed away with a pen. And now she lives in a palace she never asked for, but still always dreamed of-with a man whose eyes know too much." All Siya wanted was to study literature, hide behind her books, and lose herself in fictional darkness. But instead, she was unknowingly married off at fifteen - not out of love, but a centuries-old debt of honour. Now, she lives in Siya Mahel, a haunting haveli, filled with whispers, strange rituals, and one devastatingly silent man who keeps rubbing her feet every night as she falls asleep. She doesn't know what binds them. She doesn't understand why he flinches every time she asks him questions. Or why his gaze is both a prayer and a punishment. All she knows is that her life isn't hers anymore... And the one man who seems to care, is the one she fears the most. ~ One haveli. Two families tied by silence. Seven sacred stages of love. And a birth from shadows. Love is a blessing. But what if it's also a sentence you can't escape. This isn't a story. It's a rebellion sealed in sindoor and blood. ~~

A Shubman Gill fanfiction There are some people you never really get over. Not because you still love them-sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. But because what happened between you and them carved something so deep, even time walks around it carefully. For Rhea Merchant, Shubman Gill was that person. They weren't just college sweethearts-they were gravity. He was the rising cricket star with charm, ambition, and the world at his feet. She was the fiercely intelligent psychology major who saw past his fame and into the boy beneath. Their love was built in libraries, whispered during bus rides to outstation matches, and sealed under moonlit rooftops in Delhi. The kind of love people wrote poetry about. Until it broke. Until a scandal exploded that nearly destroyed Shubman's career, and all the evidence pointed to the one person he trusted most: Rhea. She didn't defend herself. He didn't ask twice. Six years passed like strangers walking in opposite directions on a crowded street-close enough to remember, far enough to forget. Now, their paths collide again in South Africa, where Shubman is vice-captain of Team India and Rhea is flown in last-minute as a sports psychologist to manage rising anxiety cases within the squad. They meet in a hotel hallway. A glance. A pause. And then- She walks past like he's air. He doesn't even flinch. But beneath the surface, memories smolder. The silence between them is not absence-it's tension, bruised trust, and unsaid apologies wrapped in ego. As they're forced into shared spaces, media storms, and high-stakes matches, old wounds crack open. Rhea discovers the truth behind the betrayal she never cleared. And Shubman realizes the weight of the silence he never broke. They say time heals everything. But time never healed them. Because what they had wasn't just love. It was almost. Always.Complete
