At a chai stall outside a busy hospital, Lisha Sahani, a fiery engineering student, meets Dev Mehrotra, a brooding doctor with two cigarettes in hand and too many ghosts in his eyes. What begins with a burned dress and sharp words turns into a daily ritual of chai, cigarettes, and conversations that slowly unravel their guarded hearts.
As Lisha teases out Dev's haunted past, and he learns to breathe again through her presence, a quiet, unexpected romance begins to simmer, one sip at a time.
A story of smoke, silence, and second chances.

Their interactions start subtly, with stolen glances and unspoken emotions lingering between them. As their worlds intertwine in the corridors of their medical college, Mishri finds herself captivated by Dev's silent yet profound presence. But Dev isn't someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. His love language is unspoken gestures-pulling out a chair for her, brushing his fingers against hers, and always being there in ways that Mishri slowly begins to notice. With every interaction, the attraction deepens, and emotions grow stronger, yet neither of them confesses. But love isn't easy. With Dev's father determined to separate them and challenges that test their bond, Mishri and Dev must decide-will their love withstand the storm, or will their story end in heartbreak? Dilakshi is a slow-burn, deeply emotional romance that explores love through silent gestures, longing gazes, and the pain of unspoken words-until love finally demands to be acknowledged. • • #1 "collegestories" out of 6.826k stories #20 "nerd" out of 31.6K stories #273 "teenromace' out of 118K stories #90 "teenlove" out of 37.2K storComplete
Halfway to Home
They promised to never forget each other. But life, fame, and oceans of silence have a cruel way of making people strangers. Arunika Goyal left Fazilka with a full scholarship to one of America's top medical schools. Focused, brilliant, and emotionally guarded, she rose to become a respected trauma surgeon - known more for her skill with a scalpel than for soft sentiments. Shubman Gill, meanwhile, stayed. And soared. From dusty school grounds to international stadiums, he became India's cricketing star. But behind the fame and spotlight, there was always one unanswered question, one person who disappeared without goodbye. Eight years later, fate - and a freak injury - bring them back into the same orbit in Mumbai. She's assigned to the BCCI's elite sports medicine team for a six-month research collaboration. He's the star patient - and the one ghost from her past she never wanted to face in scrubs and silence. Some wounds don't bleed, but they never quite heal either.Complete
