This isn't a story about falling in love. Not exactly.
Laskar is a quietly unraveling philosophy student with seven failed relationships, a secret poetry folder, and no plans to let anyone past his carefully curated detachment.
Alma is a gap-year survivor who photographs the aftermath of things instead of people. She's not looking to be seen-especially not by someone who might understand her silence too well.
They meet at the second-to-last table in a café that's about to disappear. A place built from mismatched mugs, flickering lights, and the kind of quiet you don't realize you need until someone else holds it too.
Between static-filled glances, shared chargers, old Polaroids, and a poem that was never meant to be read aloud, two strangers start to rewrite what it means to be known.
Because some stories don't need fireworks.
Just a second draft.

Still, With You
"Some stories are heard best in silence." Aria is a film student who finds more meaning in the pauses than the dialogue. She lives life in the quiet, editing the world frame by frame. Reyhaan is the noise. As the lead singer of the world-famous band VYER, he's spent his life under stadium lights-until he walked away from it all. Now, he's in Aria's class, not to be seen, but to disappear. When a shared project forces them into the same orbit, they discover a language that doesn't need sound. Between late-night edits and rain-soaked tram rides through Amsterdam, something steady begins to take root. But in a world that never stops talking, can a love grown in the quiet survive the return of the noise? A slow-burn story about identity, artistic longing, and the spaces words can't reach.مكتمِلة
UNTIL IT DOESN'T HURT
He'd left her a note and a cold cup of coffee. That's how Mara's world ended, quietly, normally, and tragically. Grief came in small details: his jacket still by the door, the mug with her lipstick print, the phone that lit up with his name she could not make herself answer. Every small thing, hurts. But the city doesn't stop for broken hearts. The rain still falls, the bread still bakes, strangers still smile. And as Mara staggers under sorrow, she finds herself stretched between the agony of memory and the fragile hope of tomorrow. This is not a story of perfect love. This is a story of losing big, of surviving by a thread, and of making beauty from the fissures that are left behind. A story where kindness comes in the form of warm croissants, a stranger's guitar, and a laugh that surprises her in the darkness. And when Mara eventually masters folding the note and tucking it away, she finds out something she never anticipated: heartbreak isn't forever. Not when life continues to move on. Not when healing arrives in tiny, stubborn bits. Not when hope, despite everything, still wants to be discovered. Until It Doesn't Hurt is a gritty, emotional romance about endings that shatter us, beginnings that rebuild us, and the quiet miracle of falling in love again.مكتمِلة
"CONTINUE"- EN
Maya's marriage was built on a promise of forever, a fortress of quiet routines and perfectly brewed coffee. But within its silent walls, she is a stranger in her own life, loving a man who feels more like a ghost. Every unspoken word, every cold touch, chips away at her soul, leaving her to question her own sanity. When a series of discoveries shatters the fragile illusion she calls home, Maya must confront a terrifying truth: the greatest threat isn't the anger she can hear, but the silence that is slowly erasing her. A raw, introspective journey into the heart of emotional abuse, and the quiet rebellion of a woman learning to breathe again.مكتمِلة

shattered souls
𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐖𝐘𝐍 wears pain like a second skin. It's all she's ever known, etched into her bones, buried beneath forced smiles and hollow laughter. Once passionate, once burning bright, now nothing but ash and ruin. She pretends well, but behind the sharp tongue and unbothered eyes lies a girl screaming to be seen, yet terrified someone actually might. 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍 was born into a world already at war with him. Pain wasn't just a chapter in his life, it was the whole book. Raised in shadows, fed by poison, his lungs filled with smoke and silence. He never asked for love. He never believed he deserved it. Drugs kept the demons quiet. Cigarettes kept his hands busy. Until her. The only good card he's ever been dealt, fragile, feral, and just as broken as him. Together, Liora and Ares are destruction wrapped in desire. A love not meant to be touched, yet impossible to resist. It's messy. Chaotic. Addictive. It's the kind of love that leaves scars, and still, they keep reaching for each other, again and again. What happens when two shattered souls try to build something whole out of ruin?مكتمِلة![The Author Next Door [Ongoing]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/399776188-256-k737466.jpg)
The Author Next Door [Ongoing]
All she wanted was a quiet life , a small flower shop with a cozy corner for books, a space scented with roses and stories. But when a reclusive new neighbor moves in, carrying secrets between his pages, her world begins to change. He's an anonymous author, hiding his name from the world. She's a dreamer who reads everything she can get her hands on. Between exchanged smiles over the fence and late-night conversations lit by warm lamplight, their stories start to entwine. But when his secret threatens to come between them, will the ending be as sweet as the beginning?
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.مكتمِلة
