Aaluu aluu-
So this is a story about a guy who was just trying to survive freelance gigs, caffeine withdrawals, and crippling self-doubt-until he accidentally got dragged into a fake date that turned into a real storm.
It's about a girl who says too little and means too much.
It's about walking into rich people's homes with a bouquet you can't afford, messing up art competitions, being called "bhabhi" way too early, and falling in love with someone who refuses to call it that.
It's not the clean kind of romance. It's messy, inconvenient, confusing.
But it's real.
And as for me?
I'm just a broke, caffeine-driven smoker throwing a part of my brain onto your screen.
Hope it makes you laugh. Hope it makes you feel.
Hope it stays with you a little longer than it should.
No one cares about that tbh anyways enjoy.

MY LADY
"I'm weird, and I have a lot of demands." She tried to provoke him, But Avyaan simply replied, "it's ok I'm here, to take care of those demands." Aarohi's attempts to deter him continued. "I don't want any physical relationship after marriage," she said, hoping he'd lose interest. But Avyaan's response was surprising. "A relationship can work without physical intimacy," he said, leaving Aarohi stunned. "I'm a gold digger," she said, but Avyaan just smiled. "That's okay, I can afford diamonds too. You can be a diamond digger if you want" he said, leaving Aarohi frustrated. "I'm not a virgin. I had a boyfriend in my teenage years, and we were in a live-in relationship," Aarohi lied, expecting Avyaan to back off from the marriage. But Avyaan's response was calm and collected. "Your past doesn't matter to me. Just be loyal to me in the future, and that's all that matters." 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 (The first few chapters might seem boring, but trust me, it'll get interesting later on) ........

❝ Roses are dead, love is fake, weddings are basically funerals with cake. ❞ Meet Akriti Marwaha, a gynecologist who loves to always keep her family happy and be that girl everyone ever aspired to be. Sass, Straight A's and stethoscopes are her best friends as she tries to solve her orthodox family's snarky remarks with eye rolls. Besides her disastrous cooking skills (if there is any), she tries hard to not fall and swoon over that random guy who would pull the door of star bucks for her. And Aadrik Agnihotri, a devilishly handsome businessman whom every parent warns you about. Callous, Cocky and carefree are the words that describe him the best. Name a bad trait, he has that but name a good trait and he has that too. A perfect concoction of angel and devil, he is. That one dimple on right cheek which peeks when he smiles always makes sure to take at least a hundred girls every time it goes down deeply and deplorably. All Akriti wanted was food, frocks and freedom but with that she ended up slipping into his arms as he caught her, this time promising to never let go. But wasn't he her school rival and her supposed best friend's ex? Hell he is but does that change the fact that they are married now? Oops. I mean, he is at least hot and can cook. Look at the good side? And he seems to always be coming back up to her sarcasm with a charming smile now? ➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶ [I can't say the ml is a walking talking green flag throughout the book as they evolve from teenagers to adults.

Rules and Roses
Aarohi had two speeds in life-full throttle and asleep. At twenty, she was a whirl of laughter, flying dupattas, and half-finished hobbies. Her mother said she was born talking, and that hadn't changed much in two decades. Whether it was dancing in the rain, playing with kids in the neighborhood, or sneaking extra mango pickles from the kitchen, Aarohi lived every moment like it was a festival. And then there was Anurag. Thirty years old. Quiet. Sharp-jawed. The kind of man who ironed his clothes with military precision and refused to jaywalk even on empty streets. He lived by lists, calendars, and things that made sense. He also happened to be Aarohi's childhood "Anu bhaiyya." Well... he had been bhaiyya. Until recently. Until that annoying, adorable little tornado started growing up, stopped calling him bhaiyya, and started fluttering her eyelashes every time he scolded her. Their families had been friends for generations. Diwalis were spent together, birthdays celebrated with joint cakes, and every summer, Aarohi's family visited Anurag's hill home like clockwork. This summer was no different. But something else was. This summer, Aarohi had decided she was going to make Anurag fall in love with her. Even if he still treated her like she was a child who needed a lecture every time she left the fridge open. "Anurag," she called sweetly from the porch, swinging her legs. "You know, you really should try smiling more. I hear it burns calories." He looked up from his laptop, one eyebrow raised. "And I hear silence is golden," he said dryly, sipping his black coffee. She grinned. "You need more colors in your life." "I have a spreadsheet full of them." Aarohi laughed and jumped up, her anklets chiming like little bells. She didn't know how or when it would happen, but she believed in impossible things. Like sunshine melting mountains. Like mango pickles softening rules. Like Anurag falling in love with her.Complete

"Not at all," he stated. "Then stop playing with my emotions everytime," I yelled. "Really? It's you who is playing with me right now by hiding your feelings," he yelled back. "Okay fine. Tell me. Yes there is something going on between us. There is something that I feel about you. So what Vivaan?" I said when he gazed at me with his confused face. "Vivaan, we both are very different from each other and so are our thoughts. When you people are busy exploring new hook up methods, I am still stuck in my old school love stories. I am stuck in my own fairy world still believing in one true love. We both are poles apart from each other. It wouldn't work out between us," I explained. "How would you know if you haven't tried yet?" he said. "Try?" I chuckled. "Love is not a joke that you can try one and if it's not funny enough you can go for another one," I said. "What do you want then?" he asked me. "I want you to leave me alone," I said. "See, whatever you say or do, you can't change the way I feel about you. So you can take your time. However long it might take. I am happy that atleast you accepted your feelings," he said cupping my face with his hand and slowly kissing my forehead. ****************************Complete
When Our Stars Collided
The chaotic love story built on lies, and almost destroyed by them. ✧ ✧ ✧ "So, you like her for years?" I asked with a low and cracking voice. And here I was back to the square, getting confused about what was happening. "I love her..." He opened his eyes to look at me. Taking a deep breath, he scanned my face with furrowed brows. "You look like her." His voice had clear amusement in it. "What?" This escaped my lips when my mind stopped trying to comprehend what he meant. It was getting very messy to understand. "But I'll always love her." With that, he dozed off. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥. ✧ ✧ ✧ When fate, or one single lie lands her up in her brother's bestfriend's apartment, Preet Randhawa has no other option but to move in with him, become his roommate behind the four walls. But with the photo frames hanging on the wall with their wedding pictures, the marriage certificate lying in a drawer of their wardrobe, the rings in their fingers and their stories on how they got married, the world believes their story. But did they ever marry each other? Nope. Years later, colliding with him in a foreign country couldn't just be fate...or could it? ✧ ✧ ✧ This book can be enjoyed as a standalone.
