"I am so stupid", Anaya murmured, jaw trembling, eyes fixed anywhere but him.
Shivam crouched infront of her, gently threading his fingers through hers. The light brush of his thumbs against her knuckles sent a shiver down her spine.
"You are not stupid, Anaya. You chose your morals over money. Your voice over toxic profit. You are the strongest woman I know". He said and clapsed their palms together. "And we will get through this....together".
"Do you really think we can build it?", She inquired softly, doubt lacing her voice.
Shivam's eyes softened, a faint smile surfaced on his lips as he muttered "We will".
Shivam Gautam --- a normal bookstore worker with ink-stained hands.
Anaya Vyas --- a book editor caught between industry and her own ethics.
Dive into a tale of soft resistance, found family and two people who don't want to change the world --- just their little corner

23-10-2025 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝟑 𝐎𝐅 #𝐁 𝐎 𝐍 𝐃 𝐄 𝐃 𝐕 𝐄 𝐑 𝐒 𝐄 𝐃𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐍𝐢𝐤𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐚 𝐗 𝐊𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐣 He wasn't the boy her dreams were made of. She wasn't the girl his heart was waiting for. But fate never needed permission to begin a story. Nikhitha is fire wrapped in poise-sharp, ambitious, and fiercely independent. She never believed love could be arranged, let alone found in a living room full of expectations and filtered smiles. Prithviraj is calm chaos-collected, composed, and someone who speaks more with his silences than words. He didn't come looking for love either. Especially not in the form of a woman who challenges him without even trying. When two strangers from the same past cross paths again-this time, as prospects in an arranged marriage meeting-what begins as obligation slowly blurs into conversation, comfort... and maybe something more. They agree to take it slow. To "see where it goes." To let families believe what they want. But some truths can't be hidden. And some bonds, once formed, don't stay quiet. A connection neither of them expected. A decision both of them must make. Between tradition and choice, silence and surrender- Can something real bloom in the space between almost and always? "𝗜𝗻 𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀❟ 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀?"
Forever Is Always You
✧ 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝟏 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 ✧ Keerthi Rathore, a girl with modest dreams and a fragile heart. She never pursued grandeur or limelight. All she wanted was to be loved, to be cared for, to belong, to feel what a family felt like. In her tenth grade, she mistook attention for affection and fell in love with her brother's friend. But his intentions were never pure. When the truth finally revealed itself, the world she had built in her innocence collapsed in an instant. Trust shattered. Love bruised her deeply. And from the ruins of that heartbreak, she learned to shrink her dreams, scared that love would cost her everything. "Your love is a galaxy, a universe unto itself, and I am just one small planet rotating in its orbit. I am simply too little for something so vast." ══ ✈︎ ══ Ashwin Deewani, the man whose ambitions took shape based on her! The moment he saw her, his monochrome world burst into seven brilliant shades of colour, like a rainbow after a relentless storm. Yet, as her brother's closest friend, he buried his feelings deep within himself, choosing respect over desire, silence over confession. He watched her fall in love with another man. He watched her break-the day he chose her over every rule, every fear, and every boundary he had once sworn never to cross. And he stayed for what he didn't break. "The oceans could dry up, the mountains could crumble, and I would still love you."
Seven Vows Two Strangers
When two strangers are bound by sacred vows, is it tradition that holds them together or something deeper they never expected? Aakriti never dreamed her life would take such a turn married into a family of warmth yet unfamiliarity, and tied to Kartik, a man who wears silence like armor. Their wedding was not born out of love, but of circumstance, leaving her with questions, insecurities, and an unspoken yearning. Kartik, a doctor with shadows of his own, never believed in love stories, yet finds himself drawn to his new bride in ways that disturb his calm and unravel his carefully built walls. Every ritual, every small domestic moment, and every stolen glance blurs the line between duty and desire. As their journey unfolds through quiet touches, whispered arguments, cultural traditions, laughter with family, and the intimacy of shared silence, the seven vows begin to mean something entirely new. Two strangers. One marriage. A thousand emotions. Sometimes love doesn't arrive with fireworks it grows like a flame, slow and steady, until it consumes everything in its path. || Seven sacred promises, two unfamiliar hearts and a love story written in silence. || Be the part of this journey and untangle it with #AakritK ....

He had a smile people trusted, a heart that gave without asking, a family that stood by him, and a face that caught attention without him even trying. To him, life had always made sense. Until the day it didn't. In a crowded street, his eyes met hers. Grey- green, soft but aching, carrying a depth that made him feel so much. For one small moment, the noise around him disappeared. Something inside him shifted, and nothing felt the same again. Megha had never lived with such certainty. She wished for things others didn't even think about. A home where she wasn't treated like an outsider. A love that didn't come with conditions. To her, these dreams were fragile things-too far away to touch. Until him. A man with eyes full of warmth like coffee on a cold winter night. Eyes that felt like safety. That made her believe she could belong, even when she had stopped believing long ago. For the first time, her dreams didn't feel like lies. Set against the soul and chaos of late '90s India, this is the story of two people who weren't looking for love, but found something far deeper. Of wounds that fade without warning. Of love that doesn't crash into you-but finds you when you're not looking.
