Un married at thirty-three in India, the land of gossipers, isn't what I asked for, but it is what it is.
A plain, over-sweating, spectacle-wearing science teacher.
I know I'm not a catch.
But then he came. A guy three years younger than me.
He's asking for my hand in marriage. I asked him if his head was okay.
Did his mother drop him often as a child?
Because marrying me was a bad idea. A very bad idea.
And we executed the very bad idea.
Now I don't know what I'm going to do with him-or myself.
Mythili. Married?

The Heart's Cry |18+|
"Aap humse kabhi pyaar kar paayenge kya, Raghav?" Muskan asked softly, her voice trembling. Raghav lowered his eyes. "Aap to samajh sakti he na, Muskan..." "Main usse kitna pyaar karta hoon." "Phir aap yeh sawaal kaise pooch sakti ho?" A painful smile appeared on Muskan's lips. Tears gathered in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. "Theek hai..." "Phir aap unse pyaar kijiye..." "Aur hum aapse karte rahenge." "Waise bhi..." "Na humne kabhi umeed lagayi thi ki aapka saath hume milega..." "Aur na hi ab rakhni chahiye." For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence between them hurt more than any words. Raghav closed his eyes. Guilt weighed heavily on his heart. "Hume maaf kar dijiye, Muskan." "Hum aapse pyaar nahi kar paayenge." "Aapko humse bahut achha ladka mil jayega." Muskan smiled sadly. A smile that never reached her eyes. "Shayad..." she whispered. But deep down, she knew the truth. No matter how good anyone else was... They would never be Raghav. As she looked at him standing in front of her, loving someone else with his entire heart, a thought crossed her mind. "I never wanted you to love me back, Raghav. I only wished that once, just once, you would look at me the way you looked at her." 🥀✨ A thought she could never say aloud. "Humara to itna bhi adhikaar nahi hai, Raghav..." "Ki hum sabke saamne khul kar keh sakein..." "Ki aap hamare pati hain." The words remained trapped inside her heart. Unspoken. Just like her love. And perhaps... Some loves were never meant to be confessed. Only carried. Silently. For a lifetime. "Muskan thought that after achieving her dreams, she would finally confess her feelings to the man she loved and build a future with him. Destiny brought her close to him, but never truly gave him to her. This is a story of one-sided love, heartbreak, sacrifice, and learning to survive when the person you love chooses someone else." ✨🥀❤️

The Love He Never Saw[Completed✅]
Love is not always loud. Sometimes it does not arrive with grand confessions, stolen glances, or promises whispered beneath the stars. Sometimes love hides itself so deeply that the very person who is loved never realizes it exists. Yazhini's love was one such love. She loved him in silence. She loved him when he was nothing more than a struggling young man trying to build a future for himself. She loved him when he had dreams bigger than his circumstances. She loved him when he did not know her feelings, and she continued to love him even when she knew he loved someone else. She never asked for his attention. She never asked for his affection. She never asked him to love her back. Instead, she quietly stood in the shadows, sacrificing pieces of herself for his happiness while keeping her feelings buried deep within her heart. She gave without expecting. She loved without demanding. She sacrificed without seeking recognition. To the world, Yazhini was merely Elangovan's daughter. But unknown to Dheeren, she was the invisible hand behind many of the blessings in his life. Every achievement he celebrated. Every step he took toward success. Every dream he managed to fulfill. Somewhere behind it stood a girl who silently wished for nothing except his happiness. Yet Dheeren never saw it. He never saw the love hidden behind her smiles. He never saw the sacrifices concealed behind her silence. He never saw the countless tears she shed when nobody was looking. And by the time he finally learned the truth, fate had already begun weaving a different story for both of them. To discover what fate has written for Dheeren and Yazhini, and to witness their emotional journey of love, loss, sacrifice, redemption, and second chances, turn the page and step into their story.Complete
