Every day at 4:25 PM, he walked into the library.
He never read. Never spoke. Just sat at the same table and wrote quietly in a black notebook.
Until one day... he left it behind.
When Ananya opened it, she wasn't prepared for what she'd find - letters written to a woman named Aamna, full of grief, memories, and love that hadn't faded with time.
She wrote him back.
And that's how two strangers, lost in their own silences, began to heal one page at a time.

Bound By Love ✔
Formerly, This Book Is Known As "TWO HEARTS ENTWINED TOGETHER" He thought she betrayed him. She thought love would bring him back. Arnav and Aaradhana were soulmates... until silence tore them apart. "I loved you like my whole world, Aaradhana." "Then why did you destroy it with your doubt, Arnav?" Three years ago, one lie whispered in the dark changed everything. Arnav believed the worst. Aaradhana chose to stay silent-out of love, out of fear, out of pain. And just like that, a love so pure turned into heartbreak. "I died every day waiting for you," she whispers. "You should've screamed the truth instead of whispering lies," he replies, eyes burning. Now, after years of distance and despair, fate throws them together again-not through their own story, but through the blooming love of their younger siblings. "What a joke... love runs in the family," he mocks, eyes cold. "It used to," she says softly, "until you taught it how to bleed." Aaradhana never stopped loving him. She clung to every shared smile, every unspoken word, every promise he once made. Arnav? He buried his love beneath rage, convincing himself it was betrayal, not love, that lived in her silence. "You still haunt me, Aaradhana. I see you in every shadow, every silence, every damn heartbeat." "Then why do you keep running from the only place you ever belonged?" As secrets unravel and the past claws its way back, they must face the truth: Love never truly leaves. But pride? Pride can burn down everything it touches. Will Arnav open his eyes before it's too late? Will Aaradhana's patience finally be rewarded-or shattered beyond repair? A storm of emotions. A past that refuses to die. And a love that still dares to hope. 🕰️ Start Date: 3rd April 2017 🕰️ End Date: 18th June 2017 🕰️ Edited Date: November 2025Complete
Freed
*Editing in progress* In the pulsating heart of Silicon City, where innovation and technology thrive, Ananya, a brilliant IT professional, seems to have cracked the code to success. Yet, behind her glowing career lies a storm she cannot debug-a toxic relationship with Rahul, her long-time boyfriend. What started as love has now turned into control, manipulation, and emotional abuse. Rahul chips away at her confidence, his venom seeping into every corner of her life. The late-night arguments, the subtle gaslighting, the constant reminders that she's "not enough" they weigh heavier than her demanding career and the politics of the IT world. As Ananya battles deadlines and office challenges, she also fights a silent war within herself: to stay or to break free. When she finally decides to confront the toxicity, her life begins to unravel-but so does her strength. Determined to rise above the chaos, Ananya walks away from the relationship that once defined her. She throws herself into a new IT firm, carving her identity on her own terms. No longer tethered to Rahul's shadow, she becomes a symbol of resilience-proving that brilliance, courage, and independence can outshine the darkest bonds. "Freed" isn't just her story it's a revelation. It's about breaking free from the chains of manipulation, rewriting your own code, and finding the courage to live unapologetically.Complete

REDRAWN BY FATE
Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain.Complete
