Sometimes I forget how lucky I am. I can walk, talk, and dance. I can sing clearly, yell at bad drivers, and listen to go music. I always took this for granted. That was, until I met Lenny.

Ritika Das, a vibrant and artistic young girl, navigates her teenage years filled with friendships, insecurities, and a silent, unspoken crush on Himanshu Datta, a calm and intelligent boy from her school bus. Their bond grows through fleeting interactions, shared glances, and unspoken words, but insecurities and life's circumstances pull them apart. On their farewell day, an intense moment of mutual longing is left unresolved as they part ways without a goodbye, never expecting to cross paths again. Years later, destiny intervenes-Himanshu has become an influential doctor, treating his patients with kindness and compassion, while Ritika flourishes as a multi-talented entrepreneur and artist. As their paths reconnect, will they finally confess their feelings, or have they moved on to a life without each other? Watch as their story unfolds and fate writes the next chapter of their lives. Writer's Note - This story is a deeply personal journey, dedicated to myself. Many of the sad parts reflect real-life experiences, while the happy moments, feelings, and endings are surreal-woven from the threads of dreams I couldn't realize. In real life, I couldn't find a happy ending with someone I cared for so deeply. Perhaps we'll never cross paths again. But through this story, I wanted to give myself the happy ending that life didn't grant me.To anyone reading, I hope you find joy, reflection, and perhaps a touch of healing within these pages. Thank you for sharing in this part of me.
I'm Only Me When I'm With You (Raura) *EXTREME EDITING*
"Ross...I-" I put my finger to her lips and pulled her close. She cried into my chest. I felt electricity as we touched. She pulled back a bit and looked into my eyes. "You don't understand what it feels like to be alone in the world, Ross." "You aren't alone, you have me." I put my hands on her tearstained cheeks and used my thumbs to wipe her rapidly falling tears. "I can't imagine what you're going through, but I can help you through it." She reached up, putting her left hand on top of my right. I leaned in closer, my lips now inches from hers. We kissed. Book 1 of 2 Credit for the amazing cover design goes to @writingislovelyComplete
