She didn't need a conversation - just somewhere the world wouldn't press so loud.
A small cafΓ© β, a corner seat by the window π§οΈ, and the soft sound of rain were enough...
until a quiet gesture reminded her that even silence can be shared π€.
He didn't ask for her story.
He just offered a moment - and that changed everything.
A short tale about rain-soaked silence π§οΈ, unexpected kindness β¨, and the kind of connection that doesn't rush to fix you - only reminds you that you're not alone.
Inspired by Michael Clifford's music video πΆ "Give Me a Break."

Whisper's To A Stranger: To the Boy Who Didn't Know He Was Listening{COMPLETEβοΈ}
She had no one left to talk to. So she talked to him - a man who would never reply. For five years, Vaanika Subramaniam poured her soul into the DMs of a stranger. Not for attention. Not for love. Just to survive. To feel like someone, somewhere, might be listening. To the grief clawing at her chest. To the rage of growing up in a house that fed on silence. To the pain of being a girl the world tried to break - gently, slowly, and then all at once. That stranger? Ekaansh Vashisth. Actor. Icon. Lie. India's most beloved face - with a smile curated to perfection and eyes that forgot how to feel. At 34, he's drowning under fame, betrayal, and the unbearable noise of being wanted by everyone but loved by no one. Until one night - In the haze of heartbreak and insomnia - He opens his DMs. And finds 20,000 messages. From her. Messages that read like confessions. Like poetry. Like someone saw him without ever looking. And for the first time in years - he listens. While he is finally heard. What begins as curiosity becomes obsession. Because her whispers sound like home. Because she was unraveling - and he was the thread she didn't know she was clinging to. - This is not a love story. This is two broken people whispering into the void - and somehow, finding each other there. An age-gap slow burn. A story of unseen love, aching silence, and the way two strangers can unknowingly become each other's lifeline.Complete

(not edited) This is the book I never even admired. It was more like a journal for me-just ranting and never meant to be published. I only uploaded it so that my friend could read it, and I never imagined people would actually love it. So, it's nothing like Whispered Vows-that's the book I poured my heart and soul into, dedicating 5-6 months completely. So please, don't judge me by this book π!! It was written when I was a teen and remained just a draft for almost a year from 2022 to 2024.

The Silence After Coffee
π The Silence After Coffee Two souls once in love find themselves back where it all began - a quiet cafΓ©, seven years after their goodbye. Rica, a writer who left to rebuild her life abroad, returns home seeking closure. Jay, the man she once walked away from, still carries the echo of what they were. Over cold cups of coffee and unspoken memories, they finally say the words they never had the courage to before - their apologies, their truths, their last "thank you." In the silence that follows, they discover that some love stories aren't meant to last forever. Some are meant to teach you how to let go - gently, completely, and with peace. Because not all endings are happy. But some endings heal. And sometimes... the silence after coffee is where love truly says goodbye.Complete
HELD "The Weight She Carried. The Love He Kept."
Rain has always carried invisible scars-buried beneath long sleeves, quiet smiles, and dreams too fragile to say aloud. As a scholar in a prestigious company, she keeps her past locked away and her eyes on the future. Then she meets Liam. His laughter feels like safety. His eyes, like memory. What begins as a quiet connection becomes something warmer, deeper-something dangerously close to love. But Liam isn't just a man. He's the CEO of the very company that altered the course of her life. And when buried truths begin to surface-revealing a history neither of them expected-it becomes clear they were never strangers to begin with. Now, with secrets rising and judgment closing in, Rain must decide if her heart is strong enough to stay. And Liam must choose what he's willing to risk-for the only woman who's ever seen beyond his name. A story of survival, second chances, and the kind of love that heals in the quietest places-where scars once lived, and hope dares to grow.
