Slow Stories

Riley doesn't remember the last time someone asked if she was okay. Not really asked. Not in the way that meant they were going to stay for the answer. She is seventeen years old and she has already learned the most important lesson this town has to offer - that people leave. They leave with promises folded neatly in their pockets, with good intentions they fully mean at the time, with duffel bags and bus tickets and fifteen days that turn into three years without a single word. They leave, and the ones left behind learn to stop waiting by the window. They learn to stop setting an extra plate. They learn to breathe around the absence until the absence just becomes the air. Riley works the late shift. She carries drinks to tables without being asked twice. She doesn't flinch at loud voices anymore. She doesn't cry at things that used to make her cry. She has become very good at being invisible in a room full of people - and even better at being invisible to herself. This is not the life she imagined. But it is the life she has. And she has made her peace with it, quietly, the way you make peace with things you never had a choice about. She is not waiting for anyone anymore. She stopped doing that a long time ago. Until the night a familiar face walks through the door - and three brothers who left her behind must now face what their absence built. Because blood doesn't forget. And neither does Riley.

He wasn't supposed to exist. He was just another reader...someone who cried over a fictional villain who loved too deeply and died too unfairly. "The villain deserved a happy ending too." Those were his last words before a speeding truck ended his life. When he opened his eyes again... "Young Master is awake!" He had transmigrated into the very novel he had finished reading. Not as the heroine. Not as the hero. Not even as the villain. But as an insignificant side character destined to disappear before the main story even began. The original owner was weak, kind-hearted, and constantly abused by relatives who stole everything from him. This time? Things would be different. He would reclaim everything. Protect himself. And most importantly... He would save the lonely villain everyone misunderstood. But what if... The villain stopped looking at the heroine... ...and started looking at him instead? "I once lived for my obsession." "Now...my obsession has become you."

Virasini Shekhawat has spent her whole life being the girl everyone wanted her to be. The obedient daughter. The perfect student. The pride of a strict father who believes success has only one meaning-IAS. But Virasini has never wanted that life. Her heart belongs to forgotten ruins, ancient stories, and the kind of history that can't be memorised from textbooks. She doesn't want a safe dream... She wants her dream. And when the pressure becomes too much, Virasini makes a decision that changes everything-she leaves. A new city. A new college. A new identity. A life built quietly, piece by piece, far away from the world that refuses to understand her. But destiny has a strange way of interfering. A simple room on rent leads her to a family that feels too warm to be real. A house filled with laughter, love, and comfort she didn't know she was starving for. And then he returns home. Abhishek Sharma. The name she once admired from a distance. Now close enough to feel unreal. What begins as awkwardness turns into familiarity. What feels like coincidence starts to feel like fate. And somewhere between her secrets and his world, Virasini realises... sometimes the scariest journeys don't take you away from life... They take you closer to it. ✨ A story of dreams, courage, found family, and a slow-burn connection written by destiny. 🏏 Cricket meets history. 👑 And in the middle of it all is one girl... learning how to choose herself.

People always talked about timing like it was something romantic. Like meeting the right person at the wrong time was poetic. Smriti Mandhana thought timing was cruel. Because if timing had been kinder, maybe she would've realized it sooner. Maybe she would've noticed the way Ash looked at her for too long after victories. The way she remembered tiny things nobody else did. The way she stayed. Always stayed. Even when Smriti pushed her away. Even when she laughed things off. Even when she said things she didn't fully understand herself. "I'm straight, Ash." Funny how denial sounds believable when you repeat it enough. The world thought Smriti had everything figured out. A successful career. A perfect relationship. A wedding everyone was waiting for. But sometimes your life can look complete right before it falls apart. And sometimes the person who holds you together afterwards... is the same person you spent years refusing to love back. The worst part? Ash had loved her long before Smriti even understood what love was supposed to feel like. And by the time Smriti finally realized it- Ash was already learning how to let her go.
