Beyond Our Fate- part 3

It was a peaceful morning, as usual. From 5 to 6 a.m., I would get ready and rush to catch the college bus. Breakfast at 7:10 a.m. in the mess had become a routine, followed by meeting my friends and settling into class. There was always this group of boys who wandered around the corridors, corner to corner, without any particular reason. In our college, interaction between boys and girls was almost non-existent. We barely spoke to each other, and even when we participated in inter-college events, we hardly got a chance to interact with the opposite gender. Still, somewhere inside me, I believed that a boys’ gang would be more fun than a girls’ gang. And luckily, I got that chance. Three idiots slowly became my dearest brothers — Kamalesh, Madhan, and Ganesh . They were kind and gentle when we first met, but as time went by, they never missed a chance to irritate me or tease me. Kamalesh was the good listener. Whenever I got irritated with someone, I would pour my heart out to him. He ...

Beyond Our Fate- part 2

After the Freshers’ Day inauguration, life started unfolding slowly. I made three new friends. At that time, it felt good — like I finally belonged somewhere. We spent time together, laughed, shared stories, and I thought this was the beginning of something real. But some relationships are just lessons in disguise. The friendship with one girl, especially, felt like a trial-and-error phase of my life. I spent most of my time with her, trusted her, and made her a part of my everyday routine. But slowly, I realised something painful — she never truly trusted me. And I understood something important that day… Trust isn’t only for lovers. Every relationship — friendship, family, soul connections — is built on trust. When that falls apart, everything feels hollow. That phase wasn’t pleasant. It taught me silence, distance, and strength. I felt like I was losing myself while trying to hold onto people who never really held me back. But fate was not done with me. Later, I got a chance...

Beyond Our Fate- part 1

Author’s Note I wholeheartedly appreciate every reader who has stayed with me on this journey. Your love and support for “You’re My Fate” gave me the courage to write its next chapter, “Beyond Our Fate.” This story is not just fiction— it is woven from pieces of my own life. The Origin of My Story In the year 2023 , my life was set on a completely different path. I had planned to pursue my MBA abroad , and for nearly a month, I worked silently toward that dream—researching universities, preparing documents, and taking guidance from overseas education agencies in Chennai. Having completed my UG from Women’s Christian College , I never imagined that my postgraduate journey would lead me to Panimalar Engineering College . Fate, however, always writes its own script. you don't really know what I mean; Chennaiites knew. Studying abroad is not a simple decision, especially for a girl from a middle-class Indian family. When I finally opened up to my parents about my plans, they were surp...

You're My Fate – Part 20

PART 20 – What Commitment Really Means… ✨ After almost a year, I finally had a long conversation with my old friend. It felt strange—how life pulls us into its busy routine and slowly creates distance between people who once felt like home 🏑. Not purposely… just life happening. We started with random talks, laughter, silly updates πŸ˜„. But as always, conversations with the right people somehow drift into deeper waters— love, marriage, commitment, career. πŸ’✨ I told her what I’ve always believed: “In love, commitment is where everything gets stuck. That’s where things fall apart.” πŸ’” She agreed… then she suddenly asked me, “What does commitment really mean to you? Is it just ending up in marriage?” Without thinking much, I said, “Yes. Marriage… and beyond it—a family, stability, a safe home, a future where everything feels settled.”  She paused and then asked, “How much are you earning now?” I told her a rough number. No judgement. But her next question shook me a li...

You're My Fate – Part 19

  Part 19—The Sound of Silence The room was quiet, but Rasiya’s heart was loud. Fifteen days. Fifteen sunsets without his name on her screen. Fifteen nights where she didn’t fall asleep to his voice. She had blocked him—not out of anger, but out of the desperate need to protect her soul. Every little notification had started to feel like a blade. And today, when she least expected it… his name showed up again. A single reply to her Father’s Day wish. "Thank you, it means a lot." The words were simple. But they weren’t just words to her. They were memories. They were late-night calls. They were arguments. They were silent prayers. They were hope. Rasiya stared at the message until her eyes blurred with tears. She wasn’t ready for this. Not again. She wanted to scream: "If it meant so much, why did you let me go?" But the silence on her end screamed louder. She curled up near the window, watching the raindrops race each other down the glass. Sivam notice...

You're My Fate – Part 18: The Golden Birthday (2025)

They say a golden birthday is when your age matches the date you were born. For Rasiya and Sivam, it wasn’t just golden by number—it was golden by fate. In 2025, the universe aligned... like a secret smile from the stars. Rasiya turned 24 on the 24th , and Sivam turned 29 on the 29th —just five days apart. That week, there was something strange in the air. She could feel it again—that unexplainable warmth in her chest. Not memories. Not pain. But presence. As if he was whispering to her without words. Even after all the distance, she sensed his energy like a wave returning to shore. She caught herself looking at the moon, thinking, “Are you feeling this too, Sivam?” On her golden birthday, Rasiya wore a deep maroon saree, something that reminded her of his favorite color on her. She smiled at the mirror—not out of joy, but recognition. “Why do I still feel connected, like we share one breath across time?” Far away, Sivam stood at his terrace, his shirt fluttering in the wind...

You’re My Fate – Part 17

  The Waiting Heart To give a beautiful answer... one that isn’t spoken out of pressure or panic, but truth. That’s all I ever wanted—truth wrapped in love, even if it comes late. I’ve been quiet lately, not because I’ve stopped loving, but because I know love isn’t about holding tight when the other is trying to breathe. It’s about stepping back, with pain in your chest but peace in your soul, hoping they’ll find their way—not just to you, but to themselves. I still remember how his eyes would search mine as if they held a home. How he’d say little things with meaning layered between his pauses. He wanted me. I saw it. But something in him always ran from forever. I’ve stopped chasing him—not because I don’t love him, but because I want him to choose me without fear, without doubt, without force. And if he doesn’t? Then maybe I was just a light to guide him... and he, a lesson in unconditional love for me. But in the silence, when the world sleeps and my mind whispe...
