"This Time We Stayed"
There was a time when his world was a soft quiet where love itself seemed to breathe gently into his soul. But then deafening silence broke - a violent note that splintered everything and left him with a ghost of an image and a heart soaked in ashes.
Amongst the ruins, Aryan rose. Not healed, but remade. Pain was molding him into a brutal force, a ghost, directing states of being from unseen places. His love - a gentle song - had morphed into an ecstatic rush - pulling, shaping and demanding.
Years on, Avni now exists in a life that isn't truly hers, still desperately missing key pieces. She walks unaware of the ruthless, calculating hands that makes her walk, a stare that never leaves her periphery. Apparently, destiny has quite the memory.
This is not a just a story - it is an unambiguous admission where obsession wears a crown, control is a quiet melody, and a past that simply will not die is reaching out to collect what is past due. In this place, love does not just simply occur - it acts, it manipulates, it commands that haunting truth.
Will Aryan save himself or Avni, from a constant love that never truly lets go?

"So.. go on a date with me?" I can't stop looking at him. He's just so beautiful. As he always was-just ten years younger. Same brown eyes, same lips, that boyish charm. The only difference is the hint of innocence in his gaze and the curiosity in his expression. No doubt he's surprised by my sudden question. I can't really blame him. His boring, nonchalant classmate of one year has just asked him out after a nice evening together. But I know he'll say yes. He has to. He never said no to me. I can't wait to plan all the amazing, adventurous dates with him, to make him feel special this time-just like he did for me. I'm eager to get to know him all over again. That's when I hear mumbling. "Hmm?" I ask, not hearing him properly. "No. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. I had a great time today, Anu, but I don't see you that way. I'll have to decline." I can hear my heart breaking. Funny, isn't it? All your life, you think: Okay, this will be my last heartbreak. This guy will be the one. He's going to make it all worth it. And then, suddenly, life throws another failed attempt at love into your bucket. If I can manage to get rejected by my husband of three years, then there probably isn't any hope for me. . . Anu had everything-power, success, and a love so deep it felt unshakable. Three years of marital bliss with Ashwin, the man who was her home, her heart, her forever. Their life was perfect, built with love, laughter, and quiet mornings wrapped in each other's warmth. But in the blink of an eye, everything vanished. She woke up not in their home, but in a college dorm. Not as the woman who ruled boardrooms, but as a twenty-year-old student. And then she saw him. Ashwin. But this Ashwin didn't know her. He wasn't her devoted husband. He was a stranger, a boy still finding his way in life. She had been thrust back into his past, into a time where she didn't belong. And the most terrifying question of all- Would he still fall in love with her?Complete
