arranged arrangedmarriage corporate desi family familylove feminism happilyeverafter happy indian love loveaftermarriage marathi middleclass mumbai rom-com teacher truelove

No dreamy glances. No dramatic accidents. No slow-motion romance.

When Vaidehi Mhatre- a fiercely independent, sharp-tongued, school teacher meets Yash Deshpande- a humble, dark-skinned corporate employee who's been rejected time and again for not being "enough". Sparks don't fly. But conversations do.

Arranged marriage brings them together. Not because of fireworks, but because of realistic expectations, honest conversations, and a longing for companionship that neither of them admits aloud.

In a world obsessed with glamor, this is a story of quiet resilience. Of shared bus rides, budget groceries, emotional labor, and learning to love not despite the flaws - but because of them.

Set in the heart of middle-class India, Mr. & Mrs. Middle-Class explores what happens after the wedding - not before it. With no villains in sarees, no over-the-top drama, and no chase for perfection - this is a tale of two ordinary people building an extraordinary bond...All Rights Reserved

Mis(s)matched: Redemption by lynk992925

Vedha was holding her baby in her arms, her back resting against the inclined hospital bed adjusted for her comfort. The baby was nursing at her breast, tiny gulps filling the quiet room. Slowly, she leaned forward and kissed the baby's forehead. She touched her daughter's tiny hands and feet, still in disbelief that this life had been growing inside her just hours ago-and now, here she was, her newborn nestled in her arms, suckling gently, a moment of pure, painful beauty cradled in her arms. "You are filth... an unwanted filth in my life," Vedha whispered. With that, she jolted awake. She was alone in her hospital bed, the dream fading into the sterile scent of the hospital room. Her mother, Radha, who had been sitting in the chair beside her, panicked at the sudden movement. "Vedha, what happened?" she asked anxiously. Vedha, still dazed, shook her head slowly. She glanced down at her breast-it was leaking milk. Her breasts felt swollen and painful. Her body had begun to produce milk. Even though she had rejected motherhood, her body hadn't. "Amma, look at this. Do something," Vedha said, her voice edged with discomfort. The urgency in her daughter's voice snapped Radha out of her thoughts. She nodded and said, "Wait, I'll ask the doctor," before hurrying out of the room. Inside the doctor's cabin, Radha explained the situation. The doctor listened patiently and then said, "Since you're already a mother of two, I don't need to explain to you the importance of breastfeeding. Try to convince her husband to bring the baby, even if just for a few days. It will ease her pain and be good for the child. If feeding isn't an option, we'll have to start medication to stop the milk production. The choice is yours now." Radha nodded thoughtfully and left the room. She had made up her mind to speak to Arjun-one last time.

MAID X CEO LOVE STORY Rudhran is 28, and he's the definition of power and authority. Known across Canada as a sharp and strategic businessman, his name alone can send shivers down anyone's spine. He's the kind of man who gets what he wants, no questions asked, and he's never been in a relationship or had a one-night stand. After his grandfather's passing, Rudhran moved to Canada from Chennai, to run the family business, but life had other plans. He never thought a trip to Chennai, India would change everything - until he met her. Aaradhya is 22 and the complete opposite of Rudhran - sweet, shy, and soft-spoken. Life threw her a curveball, leading her to work as a maid, at the luxurious Eswaran Mansion. She's been there for two years now, just quietly doing her job without complaints and holding onto her belief in fate and God. When Rudhran steps back into the mansion, his eyes catch Aaradhya's, and something shifts inside him. There's just something about her innocence and quiet strength that grabs his attention. For the first time, he finds himself drawn to someone, wanting her in a way he can't explain. Aaradhya feels the pull, too, but she's not sure why. Rudhran is powerful and intimidating, and the way he looks at her makes her heart race and her mind spin. But he's more than just imposing - there's something protective and possessive about him that leaves her both nervous and intrigued.

Dharmabandhan: The Shackles of Obligation by Vishash098

Set in the rugged outskirts of Ajmer in an era when societal norms heavily favored patriarchy, this stark narrative delves into the life of Janki, a young woman married off to Rana, a man indifferent to her existence. The union is not born of love or companionship but as repayment for a debt her father could not settle. In a world where women are shadows, unacknowledged and voiceless, Janki's life becomes an endless loop of duties dictated by tradition and obligation. This story paints an unflinching portrait of the grim realities of arranged marriages and gender roles of the time, devoid of heroism, personal growth, or fictional embellishments. It offers a raw, unvarnished glimpse into a bygone society where emotions and individuality were luxuries few could afford.
