"This isn't a fairytale.
It's a slow-burning truth wrapped in soft lies and loud silences."
_________________________________________
Hello dear reader,
Before you enter Anaya and Ishan's world, I want to tell you a few things.
This story is not glittery. It doesn't have billionaires, wild parties, or the perfect happy-ever-after waiting around the corner. It's about people like you and me - flawed, tired, healing - trying to make peace with their past and still choosing love. Quietly. Gently. Hopelessly.
When Quiet Hurts is a story of stillness - the kind that echoes louder than words.
It's about how pain doesn't always scream; sometimes it sits quietly next to you while you smile at the world.
And sometimes, someone comes - not to fix you, but to sit beside your brokenness and not run away.
_________________________________________
If you're looking for perfect people, perfect choices, or perfect outcomes - this story may not be for you.
But if you've ever felt lonely in a crowd, broken in a quiet room, or held your breath while someone walked away - welcome.
You might just find a piece of yourself in Anaya. Or Ishan. Or maybe both.

Ishq: A Never Ending Love story
"I love you..." I whispered, mustering every ounce of courage. He stood before me, silent-his eyes clouded with confusion... or was it sorrow? We were alone on the empty road, under a moonlit sky. But his face held no joy. Did he not love me? Then why he make me feel in that way. "I love you, Triple S..." My voice trembled as tears blurred my vision. "Stop it," he said, his voice heavy. With a sigh, he turned away, walking off into the night. "I really love you!" I shouted, desperate. "I swear, I'll never leave you... not even after death!" . ........⭐........ Ishq: A Never Ending Love Story College was supposed to be about bunking classes, late-night Maggi, and maybe... a few harmless crushes. Not about falling for the guy who looked like he belonged to another world - one where laughter had long faded and memories were locked away. She was chaos in sneakers - a first-year with too much energy and a smile that could light up storms. He was silence in human form - a final-year mystery, always at the back of the class, always alone. They weren't meant to cross paths. But then again, love never asks for permission. Aashi is hiding something. A secret that could erase everything. And Shreyansh? He's already lost too much to risk feeling again. But what happens when she starts forgetting... and he starts remembering everything they built? This isn't just a love story. It's a war between memory and emotion. Between holding on... and letting go. Seven stages. One unforgettable journey. Some loves don't need forever - just the right moments. Read Ishq - because some stories live on... even when people forget
His Chaos, Her Calm
He was brilliance in silence. Untouchable. Unbothered. Unreadable. The name whispered in corridors, carved into college ranks, and feared upon. No one had heard him speak. Until he said her name. She wasn't looking for trouble. She knew she herself is the trouble. But the moment she entered, she became the only crack in his perfect, quiet world. He didn't flirt. He didn't chase. He didn't need to. But for her, he'd break every rule they thought he followed. And for anyone who tried to hurt her - he wouldn't shout. He'd burn. This isn't the kind of love you post about. It's the kind that watches. Waits. Destroys quietly. A story of obsession, silence, and the kind of protection that feels like a promise - even when no words are spoken.

In the corridors of a bustling school, six lives intertwine-each carrying secrets, dreams, and scars they never dared to share. Meera, bold yet broken. Saransh, the silent protector. Nisha, soft-hearted but guarded. Dhruv, the joker hiding silent tears. Seema and Rishabh, the chaos wrapped in laughter and love. What starts as innocent classroom banter soon blossoms into deep friendships, unspoken crushes, heartbreaks, and the kind of love that lingers even in silence. As the group journeys from teenage pranks to grown-up dilemmas, they face the brutal beauty of life-unexpected confessions, misunderstandings that sting, sacrifices that go unnoticed, and a ticking clock none of them are prepared for.

He didn't hate love - he just didn't believe in the kind that fades. She wasn't just sunshine - she was the storm wrapped in warmth. Reyansh keeps his heart guarded, not out of fear, but because he's seen too many people settle for less than real. Quiet, intense, and unapologetically blunt, he never imagined someone could get under his skin. Until Aadhya. She's chaos in pastel. Bold, warm, and completely unfazed by his cold shoulder. A girl who doesn't need saving - but somehow makes him want to be better. She doesn't wait to be chosen; she makes her own space in the world - and maybe in his life too. They were never supposed to collide. But hearts don't ask before they crash. ✨ A slow-burn story of soft glances, sharp words, and the kind of love that feels like home - even when it hurts.

With Someone Like Me
Love. Something that I've always believed in. Something my mom taught me is the most beautiful, precious thing in the world. Some people say gives your life a purpose, and some say it completes you. Some say it's beautiful, some say it's pain. But for me it's her. She's love. She's the only meaning of love I've ever known, Anaaya. I love her the way I've never thought it's possible, and I love every tiny thing about her I didn't know I'd love and I've lost count. And I still can't call her mine, but I knew since the beginning. I am hers. Only hers, more than I belonged to myself, I belonged to her. But here I am in the darkness of night, under the stars, as they witness her turning her back on me and walking away leaving me in this darkness where I couldn't find myself without her. Every drop of her tear burnt me into ashes, every ounce of her pain killed me a million times, I no longer know how many times I died seeing her hurt. Her dark eyes, the mirror of the night sky. No longer held the twinkle of the brightest stars. It was just darkness now thats surrounding me. I've lost her. My Anaaya. And standing here with a stray tear, I wonder... will she ever love someone like me. ******************* Love is pain, but it's also beautiful. And you cannot forget your first love. Author's Note : This book is the part two of the book "With A Girl Like Me". Before you read this, please read the part one.Complete

In a world that claps for grand gestures and loud declarations, Neel chose to love differently. With packed tiffins. With late-night shifts. With quiet patience. Naina didn't ask for this life.

Some hearts leave without closing the door. Some forevers aren't loud. Some love stories never leave... they just learn to live from far. He never shouted. Not when she ignored his silence. Not even when she forgot how to love him. He just stayed. Quietly. Through her tempers. Through her distance. Through it all. This is not the story of a perfect marriage. It's the story of a man who kept choosing her in the ways that didn't make noise. until it cost him more than his heart. "The Quiet Kind of Forever" is for every soul that's ever loved without being seen, for every sacrifice that went unnoticed, and for every goodbye that was made with love. ========= Rankings🎖️👇🏻 #1 in Real life romance (4-8-25)🥇 #2 in every day love (7-8-25)🥈Complete
Lost in the hallways ✅
~A high school love story~💗 We sat just a few rows apart. Never close enough to speak... but always close enough to feel something. ANAYA wasn't the loud type. She didn't chase attention or talk about her feelings - but every single day, her eyes searched for him the moment she walked into class. Even when she told herself not to, they just did. And AARAV? He was the quiet mystery - the boy who never said much, but whose eyes always seemed to find hers in a crowded room. The boy who made silence feel loud. They never had a deep conversation. No flirty texts. No confessions. But there was always something - in the way he looked at her from across the room, in the way her heart reacted to it, in the way they both pretended not to care when their worlds clearly paused around each other. No one knew what Anaya felt. She never said a word. Because when feelings are real, they're scary. And what she felt for him? It was soft, quiet, and completely hers. Maybe he felt it too. Maybe he noticed her smile at the little things. Maybe he waited for her glances just like she waited for his. This isn't a story full of grand gestures. It's a story about slow love - the kind that lives between stolen glances, shared silence, and hearts too shy to speak. Because sometimes... the deepest love stories are the ones that never get told out loud ✌️#1 in love letters - June 9 2025Complete
