Rhea Saikia was twelve when her first heartbreak wasn't a breakup- it was a whisper, a rumor, and a silence that cuts deeper than words. Years later, she meets Agastya Iyer again: older, sharper, still impossible to read.
They are no longer kids. They're students drowning in expectations, trying to outrun the voices in their heads and the ones echoing in classrooms.
What begins as quiet tension turns into something heavier- something they never planned for. But between late-night study sessions and messages left unanswered, some wounds don't stay buried.
This isn't just a love story. It's about everything that breaks before it heals.

Between Words And Whispers ✓
They met in the most ordinary way - two strangers in crowded corridors of Delhi University. But somewhere between shared coffees, quiet walks, and the space between words, something extraordinary began. Aarav Mehta - calm, guarded, the boy who hides his emotions behind soft smiles and grey hoodies. Shree Nair - gentle, overthinking, the girl who finds comfort in rainy evenings and unspoken feelings. He's never known how to fall in love. She's never believed someone would stay. Yet somehow, they find home in each other - in glances that linger, in texts left unsent, in the silence that says everything. But love isn't always loud. Sometimes, it's the quietest thing in the room - the kind that sneaks up on you, changes you, and stays long after the world stops watching. #CollegeLove #SlowBurn #IndianRomance #WattpadLoveStory #EmotionalRomance #DelhiUniversity #FirstLove #SoftBoyEnergy #ComfortCoupleComplete
Bound by Fire
She's calm, witty, and wears her heart too close to the surface. He's rich, mysterious, and would rather live alone than share his world.

He doesn't disrespect her. But his silence burns more than words ever could. Rhea tries to make him see her. She jokes, teases, even pushes his buttons , anything to break through the frost. But the more she reaches out, the more he retreats. Until jealousy sparks. Until her laughter with someone else makes him tighten his jaw. Until her tears make his hands clench. It's a dangerous dance of pride, denial, and longing, a slow burn where every stolen glance feels like a fire waiting to consume them both. 💔 Forced together by family. 🔥 Torn apart by secrets. ❤️ Destined for a love that takes everything to ignite. #forcedmarriage Rank- #165 #Wild Rank- #77 #slowburn #india #obsessedlove #jealousy #possessiveness

Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.
Never Wala Love
Two boys. One heart. A choice she never wanted to make. Rhea was never the girl who needed saving-until she broke in silence. Akash was the fire in her veins, the love that made her feel alive. Vihaan was the calm in her chaos, the one who showed up when she stopped asking. Caught between a love that burned and a comfort that healed, Rhea learns that sometimes, love isn't the only thing we need. And sometimes, not choosing is the only choice we're left with. Because loving someone doesn't always mean staying. And staying doesn't always mean you stopped loving.Complete
