Let's meet again for the first time. 

Her mother shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "Who will marry you now, when people get to know you were left by Vikram?" Before I could even process what I was doing, the words left my mouth. 
"I will marry her."

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

Aarav Malhotra, I've loved her since I was fourteen. She was my best friend, my partner in crime, and she was supposed to be my partner for life. I was meant to make her mine. But she left. For twelve years, there was no contact. Now, she's my wife, and those feelings I had for her are still there. But my anger, the pain she caused, is much stronger than my love for her. I will make her suffer. She needs to understand how it feels to be broken by someone you care about.

Anika Kapoor, I have always loved him. I still do. He promised to be with me in my darkness, save me from it. But he moved on. He never once looked back, and I was stuck in the memories of us. And now, he is my husband. He married me out of obligation. I try to hold on to the memories of the boy I loved, but it's hard when he's standing right in front of me, a stranger in so many ways. The boy who used to make me laugh is gone, replaced by an arrogant, irritating man. 

Aarav × Anika
Will they get played by destiny, or will they fall in love, read their story to find out.

Until the very end❤ by _writer__90

Rudra Malhotra ❤Love? People are lucky to have real love in life. I am just not one of them, I am from the unlucky list of people. Aanya Raichand ❤Love? Comes with compromises and sacrifices. And I am not ready for it. Or maybe I don't deserve it. He was deep in love with someone who did not belong to him. She was just running away from love as she thought she was not capable of falling in love with someone else. When they meet everyone has to keep them at a safe distance to avoid them from killing each other. Despite all of the fights they have always stood to protect the other one. Two people with equally broken hearts and two different and beautiful definitions of love yet find it difficult to fall in love again. What happens when they meet again? What happens when he returns to India after 3 long years? Of course, double the hatered, double the profanities yelled at each other, and double the sexual tension. Join their journey full of madness, tears, smiles, hurt but above all Love. _______________________________________________ "Are you not happy by getting your heartbroken once?" Aanya asked moving closer to me. "Do you think I have a control over it?" I chuckled. "I hope you remember you are not in India forever and involving with me is going to ruin you so fucking bad!" She chuckled moving her hands towards my shoulder while I held her waist. "What if I am willing to get ruined?" I asked and she laughed. My heart will explode! "If you know we are both going to get ruined after this why do you want to continue it?" She asked with hope in her eyes. "So that this time around I don't runaway from all the memories of India. I rather have your smiling face in my memories and cry with a smile then lose this chance of having you near me just to protect my heart." I said honestly.

Just leave me the fuck alone" Aanya said or more like screamed those words on his face. " Oh, so my Baby does know how to curse. Amusing." He said, with a pained smile plastered on his face. " You..." Her words were sealed between her lips when she found he was standing right infront of him. Their forehead touching each other while their lips just an inch apart. She raised her hands to hit his chest. " I fucking hate you " She whispered the words against his lips while hitting him. Her eyes held unshedded tears and anger flashing through them. He held her hands and put a halt on her actions. His voice turning darker and lethal. " You don't hate me Aanya and you know it and this will be the first and last fucking time these words will slip through your pretty lips. Am I clear?" He warned her while caressing her face while his thumb wiping the tears sliding through her eyes. " Kyu kr rhe hain aap yeh sab ?, Kya hazil kr lenge aap aise? " Her lips were trembling as she muffled a pained sob before her lips. It's been a year since he lost her. Now, he is back to make her his and this time, separation is not a choice he will give her. ************ _______________ #1 india on 11/11/2023 #1 childhoodsweethearts on 11/11/2023 #1 desi on 14/11/2023 ________________
