The past had a cruel way of waiting for you.
No matter how far Aanya ran, no matter how well she hide - it always found her. In the soft lullabies she sang at night. In the tiny hand curled around her finger. In the way Ira looked up at her with those same deep brown eyes.
Aarav's eyes.
She had erased him from every corner of her life. Or at least, she tried.
But how do you erase the father of your child when she is a walking reminder of everything you lost? Everything you loved? Everything that broke you?
The knock on the door came just after sunset.
Three soft raps.
Firm. Familiar.
She didn't need to look through the peephole to know.
It was him.
Four years. Four winters. Four birthdays.
No calls. No messages. No idea.
And now he stood there-at her door, at the edge of everything she had rebuilt-with no warning, no apology, and no clue about the child sleeping in the next room.
She didn't move.
Didn't breathe.
Inside her, rage and memory collided like fire and rain.
"It was just a dare, bro. You really think I'd fall for her?"
The words still haunted her like a bad dream.
Only it hadn't been a dream.
It was the moment everything inside her shattered.
And yet, here he was.
And in the next few minutes, everything would change again.
Because he didn't just break her heart.
He never even knew he left a piece of himself behind.

Echoes of FORGIVENESS
Prologue She was unconscious for four days. No one from her family came to see her. Her heart broke. She was in the hospital, yet no one cared enough to visit. Even after everything that had happened to her, she remained alone. As she walked slowly through the hospital corridor, her legs weak and her body aching, she saw them-her family. They stood there, talking in hushed voices. Relief and pain twisted inside her as she limped toward them. Then, without warning, a sharp slap struck her cheek. She stood frozen, numb not from the impact but from the words that followed. "Are you at peace finally? She has been raped because of you. Look at her condition, she is dying." A broken smile formed on her lips. Anyone could see her own ruined state-anyone but them. Once again, they had played their game. Once again, she was the one proven guilty. She wanted to scream, to tell them the truth. "It wasn't her who was raped. It was ME." But no words came out. Only silence.

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.

And a love that still dares to hope. 🕰️ Start Date: 3rd April 2017 🕰️ End Date: 18th June 2017 🕰️ Edited Date: November 2025Complete
