r18 rimance romance

Aya thought she had her life figured out.
A stable career. A circle of friends who made her laugh until her stomach hurt. A small world that felt safe, predictable, hers.

She never expected a single seminar abroad to flip everything she knew about herself.

Moving to Canada was supposed to be temporary - a professional milestone, not a life detour. But with every snowstorm, every homesick night, and every quiet morning shared with people who slowly became her family, Aya realized that maybe happiness wasn't about where she was, but who she was becoming.

Then she met Christian.

He wasn't part of her plan. He was guarded, grounded, the kind of man who carried his past like unfinished business. They met by accident, connected by timing - or maybe by fate. And just when she started believing that love could exist even miles away from home, reality reminded her why she came: this was never meant to last.

Because Aya was only there for the seminar.
Because Christian wasn't supposed to fall for someone who was bound to leave.
And because somewhere in between courage and distance, hearts don't always align the way maps do.

But love? Love has always had a way of crossing borders.

"Love Across the Map" is a story about finding home in unexpected places, about two souls separated by distance and duty - and the kind of love that teaches you that sometimes, it's not about who stays.
It's about who changes you before you go.All Rights Reserved

The Art of Falling for You by totoberry

"love story" we all have heard this term many times in our lives but there are 80% people who are stuck in an one sided love or have never experienced a true love. Riya was just thirteen when she first saw Aarav at their school, a boy with an easy smile and eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. For her, it wasn't just a crush-it was a dream, a promise, a story she believed was meant to be. She admired him from afar, cherishing every fleeting moment they shared in the same classroom, from his laughter echoing in the hallways to the way he brushed his hair off his forehead when deep in thought. As the years passed, Riya's feelings for Aarav only deepened. She would write his name in the margins of her notebooks, replay their brief conversations in her mind, and imagine a life where he might one day see her the way she saw him. But life, as it often does, had other plans. Aarav was kind, charming, and friendly, but to him, Riya was just another classmate. He was oblivious to the love that quietly bloomed in her heart, too engrossed in his own ambitions and the fleeting teenage romances that never seemed to last. As they grew older, Riya's unspoken love became a bittersweet companion. She watched from the sidelines as Aarav dated other girls, confided his dreams to friends, and pursued a world she felt too afraid to enter. Though her heart ached, Riya found solace in the idea that love could exist even if it wasn't returned. But fate has a curious way of testing hearts. "A Glimpse of Forever" is a poignant tale of longing, self-discovery, and the complexities of love that refuses to fade, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones we write for ourselves.

Promises are meant to be broken by Aruvi_R

Love's not always flowers and rains. It also has a side with thorns and thunders. You lived through the flowers and rain with me and now you're are throwing it away because you don't wanna face those thorns and thunders? - Shivaay *_* Annika had promised Shivaay that she'd never leave him. But owing to her job as a police officer, she had to take up a tough mission which was highly opposed by Shivaay.

Shivaay, a successful hotelier, had been breaking the promises he made to Annika from the time he got to know her. But after watching Annika follow his path and leave him, he promised himself to never break a promise ever again, and this was the promise that was meant to be broken. *-* A year later, Annika accidentally met him after she just returns, at his hotel's reception, only to end up at his home for the night. The feelings that were sleeping for a whole year after their break up, suddenly woke up as soon as they met and those sparkles that had faded away from their eyes a year ago returned. But Annika had promised herself that she won't continue their relationship ever, to save herself and him from another heartbreak, since he'd never understand her love for her job. Yet, this isn't what destiny had planned for them, when it made Shivaay realize their still existing love for each other. Moreover, to add some spice in their life and as a cupid, a series of murder case comes up and unwillingly, Annika had to involve Shivaay into it, involving herself with him. But, will they be able to solve the case? Will Shivaay be able to except that she'll be gone next month for a new mission, endangering herself? Will their love be able to face another heartbreak? One thing that's sure is that, in this journey of theirs, a lot of promises are meant to be broken.

"Some love stories don't start with fireworks-they begin with silence, with a glance that lingers a second too long." They didn't fall all at once. It began with the memory of that first glance. "The first time I saw you, I felt something I couldn't explain. A pull. A silence. A need to freeze that moment forever." - Ayaan Singh Raghuvanshi He didn't believe in fate-until her eyes met his. She wasn't looking for love-especially not the kind that sees through every mask she's ever worn. He felt it from the first glance. An unshakable need to keep looking at her. To stop time. To make her his. "Even if it takes days, months, or years... one day, I will make you mine, Tesoro. If you belong to anyone, it will only be to Ayaan Singh Raghuvanshi." She was light wrapped in silence, laughter hiding bruises. She was the girl who filled the room with words but crumbled into silence when no one truly listened. He was the man who never spoke much-until her voice became the only sound he craved.

Because only you can understand the parts of me I've never shown anyone." - Aishna Haunted by pasts, founded comfort in each other's shadows. Destiny didn't bring them together just for perfection but for healing! Late-night talks turned into shared scars, gentle touches turned into silent promises. their love begins as a sweet escape-but slowly, deeply, beautifully, it turns into something darker. Not toxic. Not obsessive. But consuming. Healing. Raw. "I don't know what love is... I don't know how to love someone." She said "That's okay. I don't either. We'll learn together." He replied They didn't meet by accident. They were meant to collide. She had scars no one saw. He had silence that screamed louder than words! "What if I never learn how to love?" She asked "Then just stay. That's all I'll ever need." He replied

The Art of Almost Loving You by roshnidas0257

"Some loves are written in the margins. Ours was scribbled between the lines-messy, unspoken, and impossible to erase." Riya Sharma knows how to love-fiercely, foolishly, and with her whole heart. But when her high school crush rejects her, she retreats into the pages of dark romance novels, where love is all-consuming and endings are never simple. Reality, however, is less poetic... until Aarav Malhotra, the boy who once looked at her like she hung the stars, walks back into her life. Cold, brilliant, and ruthlessly logical, Aarav has always been an enigma. In school, he spoke to her in a voice softer than anyone else's, listened to her rants about books like they were sacred texts, and left sketches of her in his notebooks-though she never knew. But when Riya's indirect confession at their farewell party vanished into silence, she assumed he didn't care. Years later, fate intervenes. Riya, now an aspiring army doctor, crosses paths with Aarav-a prodigious engineer-during a high-stakes medical-tech campaign. The boy who built walls around his heart is now a man who builds bridges. The girl who wrote poetry about love now stitches wounds on battlefields. And the electricity between them? It never dimmed. As they navigate tangled pasts and fragile new beginnings, Riya and Aarav must confront the words they never said and the choices that tore them apart. But this time, walking away isn't an option-not when their love story might be the one worth fighting for.

She didn't believe in love - not the fairytale kind But he wasn't a fairytale. He was real,Quiet,Unexpected. And somehow, he made her fall inlove for the very first time in her late-night thoughts,in day dreams,in slow glances, in something more. It wasn't a story filled with promises There were no promises, no dramatic fights Just feelings - raw, selfless, and true. "She never spoke to him. He never looked back. And yet, something about Ayushmaan stayed with Dhruvika - like a song you never heard fully but still hum. No conversations, no connections... just silent moments and one-sided emotions that felt too deep to be ignored. This isn't a love story in the way you expect. It's about the ache of unspoken feelings, the beauty of admiring someone from afar, and the kind of bond that exists only in the heart of one. Some stories never begin, yet they leave you wondering how they could have ended." Because what really happened between them was never seen Only felt And quietly buried. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• She was a rainbow. But he was colour blind. If you've ever loved someone silently, or if you believe that some hearts speak without words - Her Heart and His Silence will stay with you. It's not just about love; it's about understanding, patience, and the quiet power of feelings that go unheard, but never unfelt. {{He never said anything,But somehow that said it all....🥀}}
