When sixteen-year-old Aira Mehta moves from Pune to Mumbai, she expects nothing more than noise, traffic, and endless humidity. Quiet, anxious, and often lost in her sketchbook, she finds comfort only in the small balcony of her new home - until one evening, a soft tune drifts in from the house next door.
On the other side of that wall lives Arav Sharma, eighteen, confident, calm, and everything Aira's not. A twelfth grader with a guitar and a quiet heart, Arav notices the new girl who mumbles to herself and never quite looks up.
What begins as awkward silences, stolen glances, and neighbourly hellos slowly turns into something deeper - a story of two teens figuring out love, friendship, and themselves under the same Mumbai sky.

When you looked at me ♥️
When Meher Singh, basketball captain, chaos incarnate, and unapologetically out, gets stuck rooming with Samaira Maheshwari on a school trip to Bangalore, things are bound to get complicated. Samaira is quiet, brilliant, and heartbreakingly guarded. She is also the girl Meher has been half in love with since Class 1. They were never friends. At least, not until now. Between quiz finals, basketball championships, rooftop parties, and whispered midnight confessions, something fragile begins to bloom. But falling in love at eighteen is never simple. Especially when one girl is scared of wanting, and the other wants more than she is allowed to ask for. Set in an elite all-girls boarding school in Dehradun, this is a story about stolen glances, childhood memories, late night kisses, and the slow, aching magic of being seen, exactly as you are.Complete

Aashiqui
Aashiqui ☆♡ Once upon a time, they believed in each other more than the world did. Ian - the boy with a broken guitar and bigger dreams. Raisa - the girl who painted his future with her faith and smiles. From classrooms to late-night calls, from cheering the loudest to falling apart in silence - life drifted them away, just when they needed each other the most. Now, Ian is a rising star, standing under the brightest lights... but carrying the shadow of the only girl who once promised to whistle for his success. Raisa is chasing a different dream, buried under books and broken memories, pretending she doesn't hear his songs on the spotify. They say growing up means letting go. But what about the notes you once wrote for each other, and never got to finish? A story about dreams, distance, heartbreak, healing - and the bitter-sweet notes we leave behind. Welcome to a story of promises, prayers, and love letters written between the lines. @Ember_zia https://www.instagram.com/ember_zia?igsh=MWs4cWhwYm1uMGU2OQ==
