Past expectations and societal designs, a profound emotional landscape yearns to be explored.

She fears her body tells a story she can't share. He knows too well the burden of a family shattered by a past trauma. In an arranged union designed by others, Lavanya and Aavyan must learn to speak their silent truths.

As their lives intertwine, will trust - fragile and hard-won - become the balm that heals their deepest, unspoken wounds? Will they find their home in each other?

"I'll answer your previous question some other time, if you agree to meet again," I asked softly, my voice laced with hope. 
"I will be waiting then" She answered with a warm smile
"Can I consider that a yes for our future meeting? Can I hope for a future with you, Lavanya?" I asked 
I was silently praying to every god in the universe for her to say yes. The possibility of rejection hadn't bothered me much before, but I cared now, and I was utterly terrified of hearing a no.
Her smile widened, and she nodded, keeping her gaze down.

She cleared her throat, and said smiling, "Chalein? 2min kabke khatam ho gye."
 I chuckled saying "Chaliye" 
"2 minutes kya?....Aapke saath toh 2 zamane bhi kam padd zayenge hamein." I thought while following her.

HEART OF SCARS by Authorr_Alora
13 parts Ongoing
Through moonlit corridors of memory, shadows waltz with whispered secrets. A woman's heart, carved by the weight of the past, and a man's soul, steeped in unseen wars, find themselves at a crossroads of fate and desire. She infiltrates the tangled web of relationships, discovering more than she ever expected. But when shadows of the past collide with the present, even the strongest alliances may shatter. Alongside them, a lost brother fights to reunite with a sister he thought was gone forever. Love, loyalty, and betrayal blur the lines between right and wrong, leaving everyone to question who they can trust-and whether their hearts can survive the truth. Secrets lie in every corner-some too fragile to touch, others too deadly to reveal. When past and present collide, even the strongest will discover that some scars never truly fade.

The Faded Vows by lynk992925

He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
