Silent Whispers Of Love
"Some stories aren't written in ink - they're written in glances, silence, and the beating of two hearts that never stopped remembering." Ash, a bright village girl with city dreams, has always been the strong one - the topper, the responsible daughter, the quiet observer of her parents' endless quarrels. Behind her smile hides a heart that trembles at the sound of fights, and a soul still healing from a pain no one ever noticed. Then there's Aarav - the boy who walked into her class in eighth grade and never stopped looking at her since. He saw her laughter, her strength, her silence - and fell for all of it. But when he confessed, she chose reason over love. Different castes. Different paths. Same heartbeat. Years later, destiny crosses their paths again - now grown, scarred, and searching. Between panic attacks and shared memories, between fear and longing, Ash and Aarav rediscover what it truly means to love - silently, selflessly, and deeply. π« A story of first love, unspoken promises, mental health, and the strength to heal - because sometimes, silence speaks louder than words.Complete
Vows and Verses
Before college begins, Shraddha and Abhay are tied together by a secret - an arranged marriage neither wanted but both must live. Shraddha, a bold and vibrant Tamil Brahmin girl with a love for dance and literature, steps into Mumbai's bustling university carrying the weight of tradition and a heart full of silent dreams. Abhay, her charismatic senior and a second-year literature student from a wealthy business family, is everything she isn't - confident, reckless, and untouchable to everyone but her. Bound by vows whispered in secrecy, they navigate a campus where they are strangers in public and something much more behind closed doors. As their worlds collide - rich and orthodox, modern and rebellious - they learn that love doesn't always come in loud declarations. Sometimes, it is written in quiet verses and stolen moments. _____ "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." _____ Will their vows confine them, or will the verses they write together set them free? βΈ» TROPES: Secret Marriage Senior Γ Junior College Heartthrob Γ New Student Enemies to Lovers (Slow-Burn) Grumpy Γ Bold (with a twist) Culture Clash North Indian Γ South Indian Literature Nerds Γ Silent Pining ______ Hashtags #SecretMarriage #ArrangedMarriage #CollegeRomance #EnemiesToLovers #SlowBurn #WattpadIndia #DesiLoveStory #GrumpyxBold #SeniorJunior #IndianRomance #NorthXSouth Highest Ranking: #66 in #WattpadIndia #58 in #WattpadIndia #53 in #wattpadindia #51 in #wattpadindia #7 in #wattpadlovestory #141 in #collegeromance #7 in #wattpadlovestory #5 in #wattpadlovestory #2 in #cultureclash #2 in #poeticlove

IN THE WORLD OF NEGATTIONS ~ I Found You~
DESCRIPTION IN THE WORLD OF NEGATION "Love doesn't erase the past- it rewrites it. With every whispered promise,the scars became softer, the nights less lonely. And one day, you realize your heart no longer aches for what was lost.....because his hands have taught it how to hold something new." Not an ordinary highschool romcom. its also revolves around revenge , mystery and sacrifices. Some stories begin with a whisper-a slow, quiet unraveling of hearts. Ours began with a *crash*. Not the poetic kind, where two souls meet under starlight, drawn together by destiny's gentle hand. No. Ours was a collision-messy, painful, drenched in rain and spilled coffee. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One accident. One lie. One keychain that held the weight of a locked-away soul. This isn't a love story. At least, not yet. Mumbai-the city of dreams, where every heartbeat races against time.** *Vivan Luthra* isn't just the golden boy of college she's a masterpiece of contradictions. The cricket field bows to his talent, teachers praise his discipline, and his friends envy his effortless charm. But behind the trophies and the perfect smile, he's a prisoner of his own making. Every compliment is a weight. Every expectation is a chain. And the only thing heavier than his father's ambition? *The secret he's been hiding for years.* Then *she* walks in. *Kavya Randhawa* doesn't belong here-not in this ruthless world of ranks and rigid rules. A poet with a soul too deep for textbooks, she was supposed to be in Delhi, sketching sunsets and weaving words into art. But life had other plans. Dragged back to Mumbai by her parents' unrelenting demands, she's now trapped in a suffocating cycle of NEET prep, her dreams locked away like old diaries. *Their first meeting is a collision.* *Except... he's pretending for a reason.* for those who liked healing romace.
