Maira
Maira grew up learning how to stand on her own. She kept her world small and steady focused on her studies, her responsibilities, and the quiet goals she carried in her heart. She did not ask for grand dreams,just a peaceful future, a stable home, a partner who would stand beside her. She believed that if she worked hard enough and stayed patient enough, life would meet her halfway. But some journeys begin long before we realize we've stepped into them. After the betrayals, Maira no longer waits for answers. She lives with the echoes of it, but she also chooses: will she let the past define her, or will she give herself a second chance at a life filled with hope? Maira is a story of endurance, hope, and the quiet strength of a woman who once wished for something simple and found the courage to start again.
Where the Quiet Lives...
Amina was born with a heart that bruised easily and loved endlessly. As a teenager, she moved through the world like soft light - gentle, unnoticed, yet warm enough to heal anyone who came close. But no one taught her that even light can burn out. Marriage brought her a new world to hold. A husband woven with old wounds, broken childhood memories, and a lifetime of silent ache. She became his shelter, his calm, his forgiveness. She stayed through storms that weren't hers, carried sorrows she never created, and protected the boy he once was, not always the man he became. She told herself this was love. That patience could rewrite pain. That kindness could rewrite history. That understanding his trauma meant she had no right to walk away. But in healing him, she began to unravel. Piece by piece, her own spirit dimmed - until one day she realised she had given so much that she had forgotten the sound of her own name. This is the story of a woman with a moonlit heart, who loved beyond her strength, who mistook endurance for destiny, and who finally learns that peace isn't found in saving others - peace begins the moment she chooses to save herself..

SPLASH OF LOVE
Atharva ran, his heart pounding, the station looming closer. She was just ahead, a shadow against the dimming light. He called out, desperation thick in his voice, but before he could reach her, Ansh stepped in front of him, blocking his path. "Move, Ansh!" Atharva's voice trembled with urgency. She stood there, still, her back to him, but he could see the sorrow in her posture. She turned slightly, her eyes meeting his-full of pain, full of things left unsaid. Then she turned away, heading toward the station. "No, please!" Atharva's voice broke, but Ansh's grip was firm. "Ansh, I messed up. I should've talked to you first, but if my father knew about her, about me and her , he would've-" Ansh's hand shot out, grabbing Atharva by the collar. "He would've ruined her, right? Or is it you you're worried about? Your career, your image?" Ansh's eyes were cold, cutting through Atharva's defenses. Atharva's breath caught. "I know I was selfish, but I love her, Ansh. She's pregnant-I need to tell her I'm here, that I'll leave everything behind for her and the baby." Ansh's face hardened, his grip tightening. "Too late, Atharva. She didn't want the child." The words hit Atharva like a punch to the gut. "No," he whispered, his voice cracking. "She wouldn't..." Ansh's gaze didn't waver. "She did. Now let her go. Let her live, and you do the same." He released Atharva, who staggered back, his world crumbling around him. Ansh walked away, leaving Atharva in the suffocating silence of his own making. © 2024 [Oly V99]. All rights reserved.
