🌸 Sick Leave, Rishta & HR Trouble
Arranged Marriage x Workplace Romance | Emotional | Flirty | Family Drama

Description:

I faked a sick leave to skip work.
Just one day off - to meet a rishta.
No big deal.

Until I walked into the living room with a tea tray...
and saw my team lead sitting on the sofa.
The same senior developer I'd emailed the day before, claiming I had a fever.

He looked at me, sipped his tea, and said - loud enough for both families to hear:

"Aren't you supposed to be sick?"

I wanted the earth to swallow me whole.
But it only got worse.

We were sent to the terrace to "get to know each other."

He leaned back against the railing, arms folded, eyes smug.

"So... you don't wake up for morning stand-up meetings, but for a rishta, you're glowing by 10 AM?"
I glared. He grinned.

"Careful," he whispered, stepping closer. "I might just say yes... and hold this sick-leave secret forever."

My stomach flipped.
I hated him.
I wanted him to say more.

But just when I started to believe this might be something real -
his family spoke.

> "She's not fair enough."
"Too average."
"Not at his level - in looks, or career."



Now I'm stuck between a man who makes me blush and burn,
and a family who says I'm not enough.

And I don't know what scares me more -
losing my chance at love... or losing myself to fit in.


---

A slow-burn arranged marriage romance full of tension, teasing, stolen glances, and one girl learning to fight for her worth - even when love gets complicated.

The Faded Vows by lynk992925
18 parts Ongoing
He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
