Abusive relationships
Shraddha stood by the window, for her favourite pastime, to catch a glimpse of Karan, her neighbour. She must’ve had a crush on him for more than over a year since her family moved into this house. She drooled over his curly locks, brown eyes, and that vicious smile. It was a teenage romance for […]

Crime of Circumstances
