Anvaya and Nirav were childhood sweethearts.
But it's been ten years-ten whole years-since they even exchanged a word.
Now, as fate decides to mess with them one more time, it brings them face-to-face again... and ties them together in an arranged marriage.
Will they be able to give themselves a second chance?
Was their childhood love just a phase, something they outgrew... or was it something deeper?
Did they truly move on in all these years,
or was it just an illusion they kept feeding themselves?
There's emotional history between Nirav and Anvaya that's crucial to understanding why they act the way they do now.
Without knowing what happened in "Is It Just a Phase?" - the ghosting, the teenage heartbreak, the little moments - new readers might not feel the intensity between them as strongly.

When You Weren't Looking
Set in early 2000s India, this is a slow-burn romance of unsaid feelings, stubborn silences, and hearts that take their time to fall. "I have loved you since I was six." But I never told him. Because he was my best friend's brother. Because he was eight years older. Because he never looked at me the way I looked at him. Years passed. I never moved on. Not even a little. And then... he came back-older, colder, and wearing a police uniform. Then, I did the one thing I never dared before. I wrote him a letter. A letter full of everything I had buried inside me for years. He read it. And broke my heart with five quiet words: "You are not my type." But fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humour. One letter. One rejection. And one arranged marriage proposal later, suddenly, I'm his fiancée. He asked me to say no. I said yes.

Lost in the hallways ✅
~A high school love story~💗 We sat just a few rows apart. Never close enough to speak... but always close enough to feel something. ANAYA wasn't the loud type. She didn't chase attention or talk about her feelings - but every single day, her eyes searched for him the moment she walked into class. Even when she told herself not to, they just did. And AARAV? He was the quiet mystery - the boy who never said much, but whose eyes always seemed to find hers in a crowded room. The boy who made silence feel loud. They never had a deep conversation. No flirty texts. No confessions. But there was always something - in the way he looked at her from across the room, in the way her heart reacted to it, in the way they both pretended not to care when their worlds clearly paused around each other. No one knew what Anaya felt. She never said a word. Because when feelings are real, they're scary. And what she felt for him? It was soft, quiet, and completely hers. Maybe he felt it too. Maybe he noticed her smile at the little things. Maybe he waited for her glances just like she waited for his. This isn't a story full of grand gestures. It's a story about slow love - the kind that lives between stolen glances, shared silence, and hearts too shy to speak. Because sometimes... the deepest love stories are the ones that never get told out loud ✌️#1 in love letters - June 9 2025Complete

REDRAWN BY FATE
Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain.
Arranged Hearts.
"This time, if he wants her heart-he'll have to earn it." She loved him in high school. He liked her too-but said the exact opposite. Years later, Tanvi Mehra is thriving: bold, stylish, and way too busy designing dream homes to think about old heartbreaks. Until her parents spring a surprise-an arranged marriage to Aarav Malhotra. The boy who crushed her heart... and now, the CEO who might just steal it again. Aarav isn't the same teenager anymore. He's smooth, successful, and hiding the truth: He never hated her. He just didn't have the guts to say yes back then. Now he's getting a second chance. She's planning to make him work really hard for it. ᕙ( • ‿ • )ᕗ Heyy guyss..!!
