She was his sister's best friend. He was the secret she was never meant to discover.

Isha Mukherjee has always lived a quiet life-rooted in tradition, surrounded by love, and anchored by two best friends who know her better than she knows herself. But when her family moves from Kolkata to Mumbai, she leaves behind more than just home.
Years later, on the cusp of adulthood, a chance encounter with Vikram Chatterjee-her best friend's older brother-unravels a truth she never saw coming. He is calm, distant, and impossibly familiar. And he's been silently in love with her for years.
Torn between loyalty and longing, Isha must choose whether to protect the friendships that built her, or embrace a love that grew in the silence between them.

Lotus: Her Blooming Love "Love isn't about claiming, it's about surrender. And healing begins where true love waits silently. Gauri Vishwakarma was born with fire in her aim and devotion in her heart. A joyful, talkative girl whose world revolved around archery, friendships, and the whispered prayers she shared with her eternal companion-Shri Krishna. She thought she understood love. At least, that's what her possessive boyfriend made her believe. But everything begins to change the moment she steps into Jamshedpur, chasing her dreams at the Tata Archery Academy. When her brother's best friend, Shiv Verma, a quiet, dark-skinned coach with eyes full of unspoken emotions, walks back into her life-everything that once seemed sure starts to unravel. What Gauri doesn't know is that Shiv has loved her since they were teenagers-since the first time he saw her lighting a diya in the Radha Krishna temple, talking to Kanha like He was really listening. She never noticed. But he never forgot. Now, fate brings them under the same roof, in the same training ground, with her heart confused and his love silent. Will her broken beliefs about love shatter under pressure, or bloom into something pure? Will she see the difference between control and care? And will Kanha guide her to a love that heals? A tender, slow-burn desi love story that celebrates faith, healing, and the kind of love that waits. Forever.
Yours, Since Childhood
🕊️ Bound by Memories, Claimed by Fate Can be read as a standalone. ✦•···············•✦ '•°• Once Her Brother's Best Friend, Now Her Greatest Temptation •°•' [✨ "He was her childhood chaos, her teenage comfort... and her adult heartbreak." ✨] Arjun Malhotra At 22, he's everything he once dreamed of - a rising neurosurgeon, calm, composed, and untouchable. But beneath that practiced calm lies the same storm that once surrounded a certain girl - Jayasri Vanapalli. The girl who grew up chasing him around the playground, the one who laughed too easily, cared too deeply... and unknowingly became the center of his world. He promised himself he'd let her go. But when fate brings him back, and she's no longer the little girl who hid behind her brother - the feelings he buried start to surface again, darker and deeper than before. "I thought distance would cure it. But every time someone looks at you, I burn all over again." Jayasri Vanapalli Nineteen, soft-hearted, quiet, and impossibly observant. Life without Arjun and Aditya was dull - until it wasn't. She's stronger now, more independent... but her heart still flutters at the memory of a smile that once meant safety. And when Arjun returns - distant, possessive, and confusingly gentle - her world begins to twist between what's right and what her heart refuses to forget. "He looks at me like I'm still the little girl he used to protect... But his eyes tell a different story now." A story of childhood bonds turned forbidden, of unspoken promises, jealousy, and fate's cruel timing. Because some connections don't fade with time - they only grow harder to hide. 💔 Will Arjun protect her from the world... or from himself? 💫 And when love crosses the line of reason, who really wins - the heart, or fate? ✦•···············•✦ All Rights Reserved © Written by @midnightpetals

Baawariyaa {COMPLETED✔️}
She was the girl who never spoke up. He was the boy who couldn't. Saanjh has always followed the rules - the good daughter, the quiet listener, the perfect bride-in-making. But behind her composed silence lies a heart aching to be heard. Then comes Vihaan - the boy with ink-stained fingers, untamed thoughts, and a voice the world rarely hears. Once silenced by selective mutism, Vihaan now chooses his words carefully... and his people even more so. He doesn't speak much - but when he does, it feels like poetry. Their connection is not loud. It doesn't come with grand confessions or dramatic moments. It comes in shared glances, late-night scribbles, and quiet understanding. In a world that punishes softness, their silence becomes rebellion - and their love, a sanctuary. A tender, aching tale of two misfits who find in each other the courage to be seen, to be heard, and to be entirely themselves - no apologies, no noise, just truth. Some stories don't need words to be felt. Some loves begin in silence... and never stop speaking.Complete
