Ishika Sharma had always been a little too loud, a little too carefree... and a little too in love with her best friend.
Aarav Malhotra was everything she wasn't-quiet, composed, and impossible to read.
Growing up side by side, he was her constant.
Her protector.
Her almost.
But some feelings are never spoken.
And some silences... change everything.
When life pulls them apart, Ishika learns the hard way that loving someone quietly doesn't mean they'll ever love you back.
Years later, they meet again-but this time, nothing is the same.
Because Aarav is no longer the boy who didn't understand her...
And Ishika is no longer the girl who waited.
And somewhere between what was left unsaid and what was lost in time...
Lies a love that might have been realized too late.

Moving on without you
They say time heals everything. But no one ever tells you what to do when time stands still-when you're left alone in the ruins of a life you built with someone who burned it to the ground. Aadhya stood at the edge of the terrace, the city's cold breath brushing against her skin. Lights flickered in distant windows, lives carried on as if hers hadn't just shattered. Somewhere, a dog barked. Somewhere, laughter drifted up from a neighboring balcony. But around her, there was only silence-and the weight of whispered blame. He had left her without warning, without shame. Walked away with another woman and a smile that said he was proud of it. And yet, somehow, it was Aadhya who bore the shame. The stares, the hushed voices behind her back, the "she must have done something"s. In a society where a man's betrayal was overlooked, but a woman's pain was scrutinized, Aadhya became the villain of her own tragedy. They didn't see her tears, only her silence. They didn't ask her story, only judged the ending. But what they didn't know-what even she didn't know yet-was that this wasn't the end. This was her beginning.Complete

Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Complete
