Still You

He promised he'd come back.
She believed him because back then, promises felt forever.

Jannat never forgot the boy who made her believe in forever.
The boy who knew her favourite chocolate, who fought her battles, who looked at her like she was the only story worth reading.

But that was years ago.

Now, at twenty, Jannat lives in a world of chaos, coffee and romance novels, falling for fictional men who don't exist, because real ones never quite measure up.

Until he comes back.

Not the boy she remembers but a man the world fears.

Elvish is everything her books aren't.
Cold. Controlled. Untouchable.
A businessman with sharp edges and no space for softness.

And yet, he remembers her.

Every habit. Every detail. Every piece she thought time had erased.

Now living next door again, their worlds collide-led families, shared pasts, teasing friends and a tension that refuses to stay buried.

Because the problem isn't he changed.

It's that somewhere between the silence, the distance and the years, he became everything she ever wanted.

Just not in the way she imagined.

And the boy she loved?
He never really left.

She fell for fictional men.
He became the one she couldn't escape.
