Hope of it all
Aarav Banerjee is a mystery wrapped in silence. He speaks only when necessary, yet when he does, everyone listens. He's not popular, but everyone knows him. He's just joined junior college, though not very thrilled about it. He's not quiet, just carefully concealed behind a mask-one that Aastha Sethi is desperate to unravel. Aastha is as average as they come-or so people think. A hopeless romantic with a love for pink, Taylor Swift, and fairytale endings, she's just starting college, still figuring out where she fits. She never gave Aarav a second thought. And he never spared her a glance. But fate has other plans. When they're paired for a project, their worlds collide, and suddenly, the lines between indifference and curiosity begin to blur. He's not who she thought he was. She's not as predictable as he assumed. They're just classmates. Nothing more.

WHISPERED PROMISES...a promise, a whisper, a love meant to be
Nandini and Aarav have been enemies for as long as they can remember-she's the wild one, always breaking the rules, while he's the disciplined, serious type. But when forced to work together, their constant bickering starts to reveal something neither of them expected: an undeniable attraction. As their animosity turns into something deeper, they're faced with the challenge of keeping their feelings hidden. The more they clash, the more they realize that the lines between hate and love are dangerously blurred. Enemies. Rivals. And maybe something even more and stronger. ***************************************** Nandini tries to shove him away, her voice sharp "You don't own me, Aarav." Aarav grabs her wrists, pinning them above her head, his body pressing into hers "Then why do you always end up right here, in my arms?" She glares, her breath uneven "Because you won't let me go." He leans in, his lips ghosting over her jaw, voice low, dark, possessive "Damn right, I won't. I'd rather ruin everything before I let you slip away." She gasps, heart hammering, but she masks it with a smirk "You sound desperate." He chuckles darkly, his grip tightening on her waist, pulling her closer "Not desperate, Jaan. Just determined. If keeping you means breaking rules, burning bridges, or locking doors-so be it." She swallows hard, trying to ignore the heat pooling in her chest "That's obsession, Aarav." He tilts her chin up, his thumb brushing over her lower lip, eyes burning into hers "Then let me be obsessed. Let me be reckless. Let me destroy the world if it means keeping you in it." She shivers, her body betraying her, but she still whispers "You're crazy." He grins wickedly, his lips barely an inch from hers, his grip firm, unrelenting "For you? Completely. And I'll never stop." Instagram id: _shya.writes
