Warning! You'll feel very single after reading this interview of 'Varia' where they talk about being married,their journey through Alia's pregnancy
and more...
All we can say is, Dear Varia "main tenu samjhawan ki na tere bina lagta jee" Link In Bio📸
~~~~~~~~~
As I sit in front of them in their gorgeous home where everyone speaks love and when you look around you feel that it's made with love, and I talk about their journey together which has been nothing less than a Bollywood movie. I can safely say that because I was the first person who took their first ever interview and saw an unspoken connection between them that is very rare to see, I saw them through their break ups and make ups and I saw them become who they are today and that is a strong, beautiful married couple who are just about to enter another beautiful chapter in their lives as parents. Whilst we sit here and talk about some beautiful and heartbreaking moments in their lives I see them look at each other and smile, that smile that they share like a secret, they both know that they've both found what the whole world is looking for and all that comes to my mind is something which Alia's father told me on their wedding day when we just sat there smiling at the happy just married couple who looked at each other like they held the sun and the moon in their eyes-"even stars smile on souls like them".
I'm sure she hated me...(he laughs teasing his wife)
I never hated you ,you just annoyed me a lot and still do but I've always loved you VD (she blushes while Varun pulls her cheek)
I cough to take them out of their little bubble, earning a playful scowl from them
Sorry...They always say that you don't know what exact moment you actually fall in love but in our case it's been very different,I knew that I loved this boy right here very very soon in our relationship as friends actually it had just been a day when we become friends "friends" when I started falling for him,
She's been into me since day one she's just trying to cover it up now...
Shut up VD, anyway as I was saying I had already started to fall for him since that night in Kashmir, every moment after that just made that feeling stronger, I laugh harder with him, I'm myself with him, I trust him with the real me whether something goes wrong or right or something funny happens he's the first person I want to talk to but I "knew it" knew it when I realised that there is literally no one in the world who knows me better than him, he never really just knew about my star sign or my favourite colour, he knew all the-as he loves calling it-'the good stuff' like what makes me tremble, what makes my heart thump,he knew all the dark little truths that I lied about even to myself and he was there all along being my best friend through all of it. So it was simply impossible to not imagine the rest of my life with him.
Damn baby...
It's true VD.
I know that but I don't think I'll ever get used to that but yeah whatever she said man, that and more I've always been this loud chatter box kind of a guy who always makes people laugh and always has all the attention but she was the first and only one to know who I really was. Till today she knows me more than I know about myself.

We really don't know how everyone around sees us. Like we know how our family and close friends see us because they've been here since day 1 and they've seen us go through all the ups and downs so I know it's just the wonder and pride in their eyes to see us finally make it; other than that we don't know because mostly whenever we are together it's just us in our own little bubble and in that we can either be fighting, teasing or just be hopelessly in love. To answer your second question, no not really because you may know that we've been through our share of break ups and then getting back together in these past 10 years so there is nothing that really scares me more other than a life without him but at the same time I know him and I know our love *touch wood* there is no fight big enough to make us leave each other like that.
exactly. Things start to break when stuff gets too complicated but love is never complicated. It's the little things that make you fall in love with someone, they way she compliments my smiles that makes my smile even brighter, the way she calls my name in that way she does
Varun...
Like that! (He laughs and kisses Alia on the cheek) that voice gives me butterflies every time. I'd be afraid the day she stops loving me or when I stop loving her but it just seems not possible because I fall in love with this one (pats Alia's head and pulls her cheek) everyday, no joke, the little things she does, she makes me fall in love with her over an over again every single day.
All the time. I'm the luckiest girl ever *touch wood*
I'm a very affectionate guy and when I have her with me I look at her and I just have to express it someway now that can be by actions or words but I just always feel the need to just express the love because it never feels enough.
We've only had one major break up that was our first one,other than that I think we both know that this is just a roadblock that we have to pass to be together again.
yeah the first one was the one that hit the hardest because when we first started dating I didn't imagine a day without him or at least talking to him or hearing his voice and then one day it all stopped and it was like I didn't know who I am and I think that was pretty evident to some people and also that's when I knew what he was to me.
because I remember one day when I just broke down because I knew he was hurting and I was hurting and somehow we just couldn't work it out and Shaheen was with me I told her that it hurts so f**** much and she replied to me 'of course it does, you love him' I knew it then because hurt is exactly how we know it was love that absence I felt was proof that what I had is something that can be lost.
I don't think I try to do that intentionally it's just how it has been since I was a kid I never shows my hurt only if it is too much my brother or Arjun get to know about it. Alia is the only one who knows always whenever something even small is bothering me but then she was the only one who wasn't there and that's why I was so hollow I didn't know how to feel all I knew was I was missing a part of my heart. I could see her, touch her but still not be with her the way I wanted to be, the way I needed to be and I don't think in love anything is harder than that but I knew that we didn't leave each other because we stopped loving each other it was only because we thought we are better without each other and happier without each other, we were young and scared that we don't want to end up like some people around us, we'd rather part ways as friends rather than breaking each other's hearts later. Which obviously was a very bad decision because I can't imagine being happier,this happier with anyone else than her.

Easy, because we couldn't be "just friends" It was during Badri promotions where I had to joke around with her, dance on romantic number now although we managed it well in front of everyone else every time I used to come back to my room alone, I felt this emptiness, something which was not there when I was with her. Maybe because her eyes reminded me so much of every night we spent together. Or maybe when she smiled my body used to shiver because that smile was once for me. I couldn't see all that and pretend it's okay because it wasn't. I couldn't be just friends with her because every time I saw her I just fell in love over again as I said I still do.
You can never be just friends with someone you're so in love with; that's what it was with us too we were never just friends, we were either each other's best friends or together in a relationship. So when we broke up it wasn't like losing just someone who used to be my boyfriend, it was like losing my other half, my best friend in the whole world and when we realised that there was no looking back. It wasn't that we couldn't live without each other, we could, we did but we didn't want to and I guess if two people are meant to be they will find their way back to each other one day or other, we did too.
Our friendship is strong which makes our love stronger everyday.
Same, we wouldn't be here today if we weren't best friends first, he's still my best friend before being my husband which just makes life so much easier. I found the love of my life in my best friend what more can I ask for?
I think the person I was with at that time knew it that I could never love him the way I do with Varun and I'm grateful that he never asked more from me and gave me time. It wasn't like I didn't try to be happy with him I think for a very little while I was happy too but then the first day of Kalank happened and it wasn't intentional from both our sides but when VD hugged me...I remember it almost hurt but in a good way-like he wanted me to sink into him and keep me with him. I remember not breathing. I remember not needing to...because after a long, long time somebody again breathed for me, lived for me and I remember being so utterly, completely happy that I couldn't help but start crying there in his arms. I realised no matter what I do,no matter how hard I hold onto anyone that followed, nobody else every had nor will ever hold me that way. No one ever came close.
I don't know why I hugged her the way I did that day but I just remember looking at her after what felt like ages and just wanting to hold her, for her and for me in that moment I just knew we both needed it. I didn't hug her like that intentionally, it is the only way I know how to hold her really, with all of me.
I think we were both lucky to have the kind of partners we did at that point of time because we obviously would never cheat so we held back as best as we could but both our partners saw it and well we were lucky that we both had such healthy break ups respectively.
I took her parents and Shaheen's permission before asking her and I've never been this scared of anything or anyone-who isn't Alia-in my life ever but luckily they said yes the first time so I was very relieved.
My family loves him. My mom and Shaheen adore him. Dad is obviously trying to put on a tough act but I know he loves him too,it's kind of impossible not to.
I'm pretty sure my family loves Alu ten times more than they love me...
That's true.
I wanted a routine with her, I wanted to wake up every morning with sun shining or rain pouring with her. I wanted home with her, late night tv, too much eating crap, I wanted slow dancing in our kitchen with her, in our house, in our home with her and only her. I wrap my arms around her and I know that's where I'm meant to be for the rest of my life and when I knew it, I wanted the rest of my life to start as soon as possible so that's exactly what I did. I knew I'd marry her and only her and that'll she's been the mother of our kids and I'll grow old with her very soon in our relationship, the proposal just needed to be at the right time. So I did it when I though we were both ready. And it's exactly how I thought it'd be no matter what day I've had, coming home to her is the best part of it all.
oh I was a nervous wreck, I had been practising it for months and I had pretty much gotten on Arjun and Pari's nerves but on the day I was gonna do it she thought I was pranking her!!
Well it wouldn't be the first time, he handed my favourite Harry Potter book and told me to flip pages and at the end of each chapter was a sticky note with one thing he loves about me and I did the everyday and when it was the day of the last chapter he said he wants to be there when I read it now I expected something like another "you're beautiful" or a simple "I love you" but when I turned the page it said four simple and beautiful words "will you marry me" and before I could take them in, he went on his knees and the first thing I said was "you can't fool me,I know you're just kneeling to tie your shoes again" because that's what he does!! Before that whenever we were in public he often went on his knees and my breathe stopped and then he just used to tie his shoes and start laughing, so can you blame me?
But she still didn't believe it after the sticky note! I asked her for her hand and she said I'm not gonna do it, you're not gonna prank me and we had this back and forth where I'm asking and she's refusing and in the end I was just like " for f***s sake Alia I'm trying to ask you to marry me so just be a doll and give me your damn hand!" And then she did and then I said everything I prepared and in seconds we went from arguing to crying.
still the best day of my life, only second to the day I found out I'm pregnant.
Same. (And they go in for a sweet kiss whilst I sit here like an obvious third wheel)
I was very sick so he came home early that day and I just randomly thought of taking a pregnancy test just to be safe and it came positive and I called him in and for a good five minutes both of us were silent just staring at the thing and then at same time we started jumping and screaming in joy and in the next moment we were crying. It was a day full of emotions.
I still can't believe it sometimes, every morning I wake up beside her and I look at her and say "wow she's having our baby," it sinks in and trust me that's such a beautiful feeling.
The best. I've always known even before we were married that his kids are going to be the luckiest because he's gonna love them literally with his all. He's already a dad and a good one at that, he's been there through everything with me - I've never felt alone once. And he has really "handled" me through it all without complaints, be it my 3 am cravings or my random emotional outbursts he's...he's just been Varun. He stays right there being just him reminding me everyday why I love him, not because it's always easy but because I know even on the most dreadful days, he just takes my hand, laughs and whispers "Dance with me" and that's all I'll ever need.
No ,not as such it still feels very surreal so we are now just taking in every bit of it because I know we'll miss this time when it's gone but it's all just going to get better from here. We're in it together.
I'm a nervous wreck. I'm so glad I have VD by my side every single moment because I can't do any of it without him. Throughout my pregnancy I've just needed him by my side 24/7 and he's been there every single time, this has truly been our journey and not just mine. I can't wait for the twins to be here, they're gonna be so loved from everyone around them it's crazy. I can already tell our house is gonna be packed with people once they're here but honestly we're all for it.
—I believe that when two people are in love with each other you can see it in their eyes and as we finish the day on that hopeful note I sit here and watch them look at each other with forever in their eyes and forever is exactly what I wish for them.

Awakening
A potent tale of self-discovery. Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness... Now, only scholars retain the last portent of the mythic city A'lara, concealed in a distant glade for the advent of the dragon mage. At the edge of the Known World, the slave Larin escapes her new lord before she meets his dark masters. Deep in the mountains, the legendary elf Kingard awaits his call to battle. When young Darek flees imperial mages tasked to exterminate shape-shifters, he launches them all on a voyage to redeem their unsought destiny. United by fate and guided by prophesy, their growing band of fugitives journey for A'lara to fight the ancient evil infiltrating the capital. But looming over the gears of fate, their enemies follow the same prophesies. With the unknown close upon them, Kingard and his allies face a mortal quest to restore their infected empire. Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up. D.N.Frost is a consummate world-builder with a knack for creating characters that are complex and three-dimensional. Frost writes with graceful prose that is descriptive and well-edited. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L. Spencer, author of The Rhenwars Saga ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2014, and it includes 19 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Awakening: an atlas directory
8 140The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 78Animus-Blade: Sword Singer
My first story, feedback is appreciated. Fifteen-year-old bookworm Joan lived a poor but sheltered life, her only worry was the upcoming rite that granted individuals of her age a soulbound magic weapon called an Animus-blade. Failure to acquire one labelled you as an outcast who is left to rot by society at large and Joan has good reason to believe that she will be among them. But after her only friend, Alessia goes missing Joan is slowly dragged into the cruel world and is forced to decide how she will confront the darkness in the recesses of humanity or be broken by it.

8 214The Cullens Shared Mate
THIS IS A COMPLETED STORY AND THERE WILL BE NO SEQUEL ANY TIME SOON.In this story Elizabeth Swan is the older sister of Bella Swan. Bella hates Beth for being older than her and her not being the only child. She especially hates her when she grows close with the Cullen family. You should also now that I made this cringy and like other stories because that seems to be what everyone likes. Some of it will be cheesy and other parts will be extra dramatic but its intentional. Bella is not with Edward in this story. None of the Cullens are together they only consider eachother siblings. Esme is not in this story and I am so sorry, I love her but with how im doing it I don't know if I could fit her in correctly. In this story the Cullens are a coven that was blessed with having only one mate that they must share with eachother. THIS IS A BELLA BASHING STORY. It is based in 2020 and ALL the Cullens are seniors. Well except Carlisle. The coronavirus is not a thing. Bella will be VERY out of character, go with it.There will be some cursing and smut with warnings when it will happenI do not own twilight or its plot I only own Elizabeth Jo Swan and the plot I created. This will not follow the timeline or the plot completely so bare with me.
