The sound of pencil strokes filled the silence, a quiet rhythm against the weight of unspoken words.

"I don't even like him."

The sketchbook lay open, pages curled at the edges, filled with lines she never meant to draw. His face stared back at her-smudged, incomplete, yet unmistakably him. She sighed, pressing the tip of the pencil against his sketched smile.

It wasn't fair.

She turned the page.

Now, in a crowded university hallway, he leaned against the wall like he belonged there.

"Still pretending you don't care?" Rivan's voice held a smirk, but his eyes said something else.

She hated that she knew the difference.

"He was my childhood tutor. Now, he's my classmate. If this is fate, I want a refund."

A flicker of silver caught her eye-the handmade guitar pick spinning between his fingers.

Her guitar pick.

She had made it without thinking. Had given it away without knowing. Hadn't expected it to find its way to him.

He was laying down, staring at the guitar plectrum (pick) above in his hands. 

His fingers closed over it. "I wonder if she knows she already picked my heart."

The paper crinkled beneath her grip, her unfinished sketch staring back at her.

"Tell me, Nitya..."

The whisper lingered like an unfinished melody.

"What am I to you?"

♡MAHFIL-E-ISHQ♡ ♡Shriyan Sharma♡ An introvert by nature, calm as a still lake, and ambitious like a boy who carries the weight of the stars in his eyes. A class 12th student who keeps to himself-until he's with his closest friends. Then? He's a whole different person - loud laughs, playful roasts, and the kind of charm that could melt the silence. For him, *rules aren't just rules - they're sacred*. "Discipline is peace," he says, with a straight face and a slightly smug smile. His first and only love? **Books.** pages over people. Ink over emotions. He's the class topper, the teachers' favourite - practically the school's golden boy. With the elegance of a prince and the discipline of a soldier, he unknowingly becomes the *crush of every hallway whisper*. But Shriyan Sharma doesn't even spare them a glance. *"Love? That's a distraction I can't afford."* and yet... destiny's about to test that very belief. -- ♡Siya Rajvansh♡ A full-time extrovert, part-time chaos queen, and mischief in human form - Siya, a class 11th student, believes life begins *only* when you start breaking the rules. > *"What fun is life if you follow the manual?"* Though she's a topper too, her brain operates like a backbencher's -sharp, curious, and always plotting her next move.She once made a deal with herself: **Never fall in love.** Because love? That's messy, complicated, and *so not her thing.* Until *he* walks in. Her calm, her opposite, her storm-silencer - **Shriyan Sharma**. Just one encounter with him and her carefully built "no-love" walls start cracking, brick by brick. And now? She's spiraling. Falling. Slowly. Beautifully. Helplessly. The more she tries to understand him, the deeper she falls. > *"He's like a closed book in a language I was born to learn."* she says. ♡But... will the prince of rules ever let a rule-breaker like her into his heart? Or is she just writing a love story in margins he'll never read?

His shadow swallowing hers and eyes glinting with mockery sharp enough to cut. "So desperate that you've actually started studying hard just to get on my level, huh?" His words weren't a question. They were clearly a taunt. She turned her face away, refusing to let him see the storm brewing in her eyes but he wasn't satisfied with silence. He tilted her chin up with a rough coax and asked with a cruel voice,"Answer me, Vika. Itna desperation?" She jerked his hand off, forcing the words past the lump in her throat,"I'm not doing it to get you. I'm doing it to secure myself-" He leaned closer, cutting her off with a poisonous smirk and said,"Oh yeah, right. Secure your future... because you want to marry me, isn't it?" The accusation cracked something inside her. The tears she had been fighting burned hot as they spilled down, betraying the strength she tried so hard to hold. He only smirked wider, watching her crumble as though her breaking was the prize he had been chasing all along. ≫∘❀♡❀∘≪ A story of first love, heartbreak and emotional strength.

"Get out," I whispered again, looking into his deep brown eyes. His brows furrowed. "I can't leave you in this condition." A lone tear slipped from my eye. "You're the only person responsible for this condition." He swallowed hard and lay down beside me. "I said-" I tried to get up, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his embrace again. His arms wrapped tightly around me. I stopped struggling. His warmth, his scent... after four years, I finally felt at peace. My face was buried in his chest. "Why aren't you leaving me?" I whispered. He looked down, his gaze intense. "Because I can't," he admitted. "I'm not able to." I bit my lip, my heart aching. ___________________________________ "You look beautiful," I said, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "Come up with something new. Half of your guests already used that line," she muttered. I stared into her kohl-lined eyes. "Is that so?" She hummed in response. "Then how about this-" I leaned close to her ear. "You look like mine," I whispered before pressing a soft kiss against her earlobe. She shuddered. I was about to trail kisses down her neck when she whispered, "I'm sleepy." I chuckled and pulled back. She strolled toward the staircase, taking slow steps, struggling with her four-inch pencil heels and the heavy saree. Will she ask for my help? Nope. I sighed and walked toward her. --- GRUMPY × SUNSHINE

"Are you my boyfriend?" I asked, looking straight into his eyes. His grip on my wrist loosened. Translation: who are you to question me? I took another shot. But this boy-he literally snatched my drink and downed it himself. "You can share it with your friend, right?" He flashed his sweetest smile. I wasn't falling for it. "We aren't friends anymore," I muttered, holding my head as dizziness took over. I barely heard him instruct the bartender to stop serving me drinks before everything started spinning. The next thing I knew, I had collapsed into something warm and solid. When I forced my eyes open, I found myself in his arms. ________________________________ "Do you really want me to?" Her breath hitched, but she didn't pull away. Her fingers curled tighter against my shoulders, as if grounding herself. I watched her, my own restraint hanging by a thread. The way her lips parted, the way her chest rose and fell unevenly-I could feel the war waging inside her. I should've stepped back, given her space. But I couldn't. Not when she was looking at me like that. She didn't answer, but her silence spoke louder than words. Slowly, I ran my thumb over her cheek, tracing the dampness left by her tears. So fragile, yet so intoxicating. "Tell me to stop, darling," I murmured, my lips barely an inch from hers. Her eyes flickered to my mouth, and that was all it took. --- she fell first✨
Ishq: A Never Ending Love story by Asranki
35 parts Ongoing Mature
"I love you..." I whispered, mustering every ounce of courage. He stood before me, silent-his eyes clouded with confusion... or was it sorrow? We were alone on the empty road, under a moonlit sky. But his face held no joy. Did he not love me? Then why he make me feel in that way. "I love you, Triple S..." My voice trembled as tears blurred my vision. "Stop it," he said, his voice heavy. With a sigh, he turned away, walking off into the night. "I really love you!" I shouted, desperate. "I swear, I'll never leave you... not even after death!" . ........⭐........ Ishq: A Never Ending Love Story College was supposed to be about bunking classes, late-night Maggi, and maybe... a few harmless crushes. Not about falling for the guy who looked like he belonged to another world - one where laughter had long faded and memories were locked away. She was chaos in sneakers - a first-year with too much energy and a smile that could light up storms. He was silence in human form - a final-year mystery, always at the back of the class, always alone. They weren't meant to cross paths. But then again, love never asks for permission. Aashi is hiding something. A secret that could erase everything. And Shreyansh? He's already lost too much to risk feeling again. But what happens when she starts forgetting... and he starts remembering everything they built? This isn't just a love story. It's a war between memory and emotion. Between holding on... and letting go. Seven stages. One unforgettable journey. Some loves don't need forever - just the right moments. Read Ishq - because some stories live on... even when people forget

"I hate you," he spat, eyes blazing. "Good," she smirked, stepping closer. "Hate me harder... at least it means I still own a place in your heart." Love was undeniable - they both believed that.

He loved her even before he knew what love was, while she had loved him from the moment she saw him. Call it attraction, call it a crush - whatever it was, it turned into love. YET she left him... leaving only memories behind for him to survive with. Moving on was never an option, but neither was holding on.

She disappeared. BUT now... she's back. Back to undo her mistakes. Back to claim him as hers. Back to get what she always deserved - his love, his attention, his everything. But will it be possible when... ✨ His love has now turned into hatred? ✨ She is still hiding secrets from him? ✨ Their story ended before it could even begin? Will her love be strong enough to overcome his hatred? Find out in Undeniable Love - Final Spark. ⚠️ Not a standalone. This is Part 2 of the Undeniable Love duolog.
