As the Kargil war raged on between the nations of India and Pakistan, a young army father continuously wrote to his daughter in hopes of rejoining with her post this experience. 

Set mostly in the gusty streets of the Indian capital, Dear Daughter is a journey from realisation to redemption. As a teenage boy matures into an army man, he is forced to face the demons of society and protect his honour.

Dear Daughter is a compilation of the many letters written from a father to his "orphan" daughter. The only drawback here? He doesn't send these letters to anyone. As the war goes on, only one thought wanders in his mind: Circumstances separated them, but could circumstances bring them back?

Hop on and dive into this sea of memories.

Secret passages of Bhairavgad by DhunDhun4119

Highest Ranking #1 Rajasthan This is my first story it is written in a narrative way and sometimes in someone's POV. It is not in a proper format please excuse my mistakes. Hope to improve. This story is not related to any people but just an imagination and doesn't hurt or remark about any religion or norms. It's purely imaginative. Synopsis After her fathers death, 13 year old SATI is sent to Bombay for further studies. Eight years after her father's death Sati has returned to Bhairavgad with revenge on her mind. The last words her father told was about the passages inside the Bhairavgad Fort. To unravel what her father meant, she fully prepared herself these eight years of any obstacles that will come in her way. But her father's elder brother Kanwar Singh has placed a biggest obstacle in her way RUDRA. There will be a fair warning before in some chapters due to violence and mature content. This book is though for all age groups except for few chapters. Started: 15th April, 2019

Entangled Love ✓ by nailawritesfiction

"You?" She yells. "You feisty cat, look what have you done? You have teeth or cutters?" "And what the hell did you just do? You scared the hell out of me." She announces. "Because that stupid tongue of yours wasn't letting me act humanely towards you so I need to do that." He grabs her hand and drags her along with him, towards his car. "What do you think you are doing? Leave me." "Get inside the car quickly, " he orders. "I won't. What do you want from me?" "Answers. If you think I will let you go without having the answer to why you ignored me then that won't happen. Now get inside," he says in a low voice, completely opposite of me. "And do you think I will go with you? Never." I remove his hand from my wrist and rushes back but he again grabs my arm. "You jerk! I will shout and tell people you are kidnapping me," I try to punch his chest. He chuckles. "You will say your husband is kidnapping you? Wow!" This time, he succeeds in making her sit inside the car. "Tie the seatbelt, girl." "Unlock the car right now," she stressed in every word. "You are so stubborn," he sighs and bends towards me. As soon as he comes closer to me, I drag myself away from him, barely making myself stick to the door. He looks into my face as his hand grabs the seatbelt and pulls it in front of my body. He leans near to my face, his eyes never leaving mine, "but I can't help. I love this stubbornness of yours." 🌺Do read the sequel of Entangled Love "Far Away Love" on my profile. 💮 Featured in newlywrittenbooks' Roses are Red | Romance reading list. 💮 Featured in Rainbow Salt's | Best Ongoing Stories reading list. 💮 Featured in Wattpad General Fiction Finding Love | Romance reading list. 💮 Featured in Wattpad Romance | Featured Books reading list. 💮Featured in Wattpad Community Team | Romance reading list. 💮Featured in Wattpad Romance | Head Over Heels reading list. 💮 Featured in Wattpad free the POC.

His Ignorant Lover ✓ by nailawritesfiction

••| 1st in Arranged Series |•• Can be read as a Standalone. "Thank God, you took my call," he mumbled. "Why did you send that flower bouquet?" He fought the urge to chuckle at her troubled voice. "At least those flowers made you talk to me. May I know what I did to get this ignored treatment of you?" "Don't do such things and please don't call me again." She wanted to say this but her tongue refused to form those words. "I...I was just busy due to my studies that's why." She bit her tongue when she realized she had answered exactly the opposite of what she wanted to say. He sat up and glared at the phone's screen. So this kitten knew how to play hard to get? "Are you sure that's the only reason?" "No, I am telling the truth. I have exams in a few days. " "Ohh...so am I distracting you?" "I am sorry, I won't disturb you now." "No, no, you don't disturb me." Her heart came into her mouth at the consequences of his words. It was not easy to resist Ruhaan Sufiyan Ahmad. He himself knew it and it took Nisha Sikandar just two weeks to realize it. ____________________ Start Date: 30/04/2022 End Date: 09/06/2023

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 Ⅰ 𝐎𝐅 𝐑𝐀𝐉𝐏𝐔𝐓𝐈-𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐀 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘 Shefali Roy had lost her parents in a pandemic when she was just one year old. That was the first time she was orphaned. The next time she was orphaned was when she was seventeen. The army of the barbaric sultan invaded and burned down every house in the tranquil town of Muksadabad where she lived with her old grandfather. Shefali had to run into the wilderness of the outer world because she knew if they caught her then they would not even spare her death. Having been orphaned again into the hands of circumstances, the last thing she wanted was to faint in the longing road just to end up in the service she was so vividly running away from, prostitution. The youngest son of the royal family of Chauhans of Rajasthan was growing up unaware of the twisted future he was to face soon. It was only until one fine day that he saw a girl wearing a distinct piece of worn-out dirty cloth so beautifully draped around her body, nothing like what his people wear. All until his glance reached her curious eyes when he was blown away by the wilderness of her serenity. Having hated such women who indulge in prostitution all his life ever since his father, the king, started having serious affairs with them, will this hot-headed Chauhan of Rajasthan understand the unheard words of the girl who thought the most yet talked the least? It's not a tale of love and happy endings... it's a legacy of generations in the Royal family of the Chauhans dating back to the early 16th Century when pride met poise and turned wise. #1 in Bookworm #25 in Interesting #64 in Historical Fiction
