Aakash, fresh into the business world, was buried in pitches, proposals, and learning how not to burn toast. Marriage was the last thing on his mind.
Palki, on the other hand, had grown up on fairy tales. She believed in love, but only the kind that made her heart skip a beat - not the kind arranged over tea and awkward meetings.
Palki and Aakash have been best friends forever. They know each other better than anyone else-every silly habit, every big dream. Love? No way. They've always been just friends.
But now, life is getting complicated. Palki's parents are sending her to see one guy after another for marriage. Aakash's business partners think he needs to look "settled" to win big deals. Both of them are tired of the pressure and not ready to give up on their dreams.
So, they come up with a plan-pretend to date each other. Just for a while. Just to keep everyone off their backs.
It's supposed to be easy. Fake dates, a few photos, some sweet words in front of family and friends. Nothing real.
But soon, things start to feel... different. Their fake smiles turn into real laughter. Holding hands doesn't feel so awkward anymore. And before they know it, this fake relationship might just be the real thing.
Family drama, sweet moments, and a lot of heart-Practically Perfect is a story about friendship, love, and finding something real when you least expect it.

A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: β’ Arranged Marriage β’ Professor x Student β’ Chaotic Couple β’ Slow Burn Romance β’ Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.

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 fiancΓ©e. He asked me to say no. I said yes.

As a devoted son and a man forged in sacrifice, love and marriage have never been on his list. He's spent his life building a future for the woman who raised him alone.

Maya Reddy is 21, caged by the love of two overprotective parents who've never let her breathe. She doesn't dream of fairy tales or soulmates. She just wants out. For her, marriage is not about love-it's an escape plan. When Aarav and Maya meet through a traditional setup neither of them truly believes in, everything begins to burn-hesitations, ideals, and every line they swore they'd never cross. One wants freedom. The other wants control. One wants love. The other fears it. But fate doesn't ask for permission. This is not your average arranged marriage story. This is about passion born out of silence, love that begins with a no, and two hearts crashing in all the wrong places... just to find the right one.Complete
