Chapter 6: Heartbreak and Growth : His response shattered my heart into a thousand pieces. I cried until the tears ran dry, and even then, the emptiness lingered. Days blurred into weeks, each one heavier than the last. I replayed his words endlessly, searching for a different meaning, but the truth was undeniable—he didn’t feel the same. Yet life, cruel and relentless, marched forward. I clung to my studies, diving headfirst into the pursuit of excellence. If I couldn’t have his love, I could at least win the respect I craved, even from myself. Years passed, each one chipping away at the broken girl I once was. Through relentless effort, I rose, stronger and fiercer. The timid dreamer became a doctor—a woman who commanded rooms with her confidence and inspired trust with her compassion. I looked in the mirror and saw someone I admired, someone I fought to become. But even in my brightest moments, a shadow lingered. Deep in my chest, a quiet ache whispered his name: Aman. It w...

Chapter 5:Reconnecting on Orkut: Years had slipped away like sand through fingers. The days of carefree laughter and teenage dreams had given way to the unyielding pace of adulthood. I had finished school and moved to a bustling city for college, but amidst the chaos of new beginnings, one thing remained untouched—the quiet ache in my heart named Aman. He had been a constant shadow in my thoughts, an unfinished story I could never quite close. Life moved on, but he lingered like a sweet, distant melody I couldn't forget. Then, one ordinary evening, while scrolling through Orkut—the social media sensation of our time—his name appeared on my screen. My heart paused mid-beat. Aman. His profile picture was simple, but his smile was just as I remembered: warm, inviting, and heartbreakingly familiar. My fingers hovered over the friend request button, trembling with anticipation and a deep fear of rejection. Finally, I gathered every ounce of courage and clicked. Minutes felt like...

Chapter 4: The Goodbye : And then, just like that, he was gone. Aman got a job in another city, and the days that followed were a blur of packing, goodbyes, and an unbearable silence that settled over everything he left behind. His absence wasn’t just felt—it was carved into every corner of my world. Ananya, his sister and my best friend, tried to put on a brave face. She joked about visiting him soon, filling her sentences with forced laughter, but I knew she was hurting too. For me, though, the pain was different. It wasn’t just the loss of a friend—it was the unspoken, unshared love I had harbored for Aman. I couldn’t tell Ananya; I couldn’t tell anyone. How do you confess a love so deep yet so silent that it never even touched the surface of reality? I hadn’t told him how I felt, and now he was gone, taking with him a piece of me I could never reclaim. The weeks that followed were hollow. My exams loomed ahead, demanding my attention, but no amount of studying could fill th...

From Filter Bags to Sportswear: Our Journey of Resilience and Reinvention : Every journey starts with a single step. Ours began over a year ago with a thriving business in filter bags. Confident in our expertise, we decided to diversify into garments—a leap into the unknown. What followed was a period of learning, adapting, and pushing our limits in ways we hadn’t anticipated. At first, we were blank. We had no idea where to begin or how to carve a niche in an industry so different from our previous venture. It was during these moments of uncertainty that the idea of sportswear took root. The world of athletic apparel intrigued us—a perfect blend of functionality and fashion. The First Steps Are the Hardest Launching into the sportswear segment wasn’t easy. The past four months have been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. From understanding technical fabrics to designing performance-driven yet stylish garments, every step came with its own set of struggles and challenges. We fac...

A New Journey: From IT to Textiles: As the CEO of Cedrafil Garments, stepping away from a stable IT career was not a decision I took lightly. For years, I thrived in the world of technology, but something was missing—a spark, a calling. The textile industry has always fascinated me, especially seeing how it touches every individual in their daily lives. Living in Odisha, where tradition and modernity coexist beautifully, I saw an opportunity to create something extraordinary—a brand rooted in quality, innovation, and sustainability, right here in the heart of Bhubaneswar. What Makes Cedrafil Unique? Cedrafil is not just another garment company; it’s a movement to redefine how people perceive workwear and sportswear. Our mission is to bridge the gap between comfort, performance, and affordability. Unlike crowded brands that focus only on high margins or mass production, Cedrafil prioritizes: Customization: We cater to the unique needs of every customer, whether it's durable workw...

Chapter 3: Living Under the Same Roof : It was during my board exams that fate decided to rewrite the script of my life in a way I could have never imagined. My parents, believing they were helping me focus on my studies, sent me to Ananya’s house for a month. Their intention was simple: we’d support each other with our studies, pushing through the challenging days together. But for me, it was far from ordinary. It meant living under the same roof as Aman. The mere thought of it sent waves of excitement and nervousness coursing through me. I could barely contain my emotions as I packed my books, my heart beating faster with every step closer to this new chapter. From the moment I stepped into their home, it felt as though I was walking into a dream. Aman’s presence lingered in every corner of the house—not just physically, but in the little things that spoke of him. The way his books were neatly stacked on the table, his mug casually left on the kitchen counter, or his faint cologn...

Chapter 2: A Silent Obsession : Over the weeks, my feelings for Aman grew into something I could no longer ignore — a quiet ache, tender yet overwhelming. It consumed me, invading every corner of my thoughts, every beat of my heart. I knew it was foolish. To him, I was probably nothing more than his sister's clumsy, wide-eyed friend — a silly girl with no place in his world. But try telling that to my heart. Logic dissolved whenever I heard his name, replaced by the fluttering chaos that only he could stir within me. I’d sit in class, completely lost in daydreams, his face dancing behind my closed eyes. My pen betrayed me, scribbling his name in elegant loops at the margins of my notebook. It was as if the very act of writing it could summon him, make him real and close, even when he wasn’t. Ananya caught on, of course — her teasing smile as sharp as her words. “A secret crush?” she asked one day, winking mischievously. I’d laughed, forcing nonchalance into my voice, but my chee...

Chapter 1: Love at First Sight : Sometimes, life has a way of surprising us. Fate is a force much bigger than us, and God, in His infinite wisdom, leads us down paths we often don’t understand at first. We try to plan, we try to control, but in the end, what’s meant to be will find its way to us. It’s a lesson that takes time to realize, especially in today’s world, where everything feels like it needs to happen instantly. But, as I would come to know, sometimes we’re meant to wait, to grow, and to trust that whatever happens is part of a bigger plan. I was sixteen when I first saw him. The day was nothing extraordinary — just another summer afternoon at my best friend Ananya’s house. But the moment he walked in, the air seemed to shift. There he was, Aman, her elder brother, five years older than me, tall, smart, and effortlessly handsome. His sharp jawline, piercing eyes, and casual confidence left me utterly awestruck. Before that moment, I had never imagined such a powerful ...

Chapter 10: The Final Decision : In a final, climactic confrontation, Evelyn faced the enemy—a shadowy group bent on controlling time for their own purposes. They had Miriam, and now they demanded the watch. But Evelyn, with her newfound strength and determination, made a choice. She wouldn’t let them win. With Callum and Lucas by her side, Evelyn used the watch’s power for the first time, not to manipulate time, but to rewrite it—to erase the darkness that threatened the timeline and restore balance. As the enemy crumbled under the force of her decision, Evelyn knew her journey wasn’t over. She had saved the day, but the future would always be uncertain. Callum and Lucas watched her, both with admiration and respect. But Evelyn knew, in her heart, that her path was her own. And in the end, Evelyn’s true power wasn’t just in the watch or in the choices she made, but in her ability to love—freely, deeply, and without fear. _______________________________________ Epilogue: The Timek...

Chapter 9: A Loss, A Legacy: Miriam, Evelyn’s mother, had been a silent but constant figure in her life. Despite the mystery surrounding her, Evelyn had always felt her presence. But one evening, as Evelyn returned home after another long day of training, she found her mother’s study empty. The shelves had been cleared, and the lights were dimmed. Miriam had vanished. Evelyn’s heart raced as she ran to Callum, telling him the terrible news. Callum’s expression darkened. “They’ve taken her,” he said quietly. “The ones who seek the watch—they’ve taken her to draw you out. You have to act, Evelyn.” Evelyn felt a surge of panic and grief, but amidst the heartbreak, she understood what her mother had been protecting all along. The Timekeeper’s legacy wasn’t just about power. It was about sacrifice. Evelyn’s mother had known that this day would come. Now, Evelyn had to be the protector. She had to save her mother and keep the timeline safe, no matter the cost.

Chapter 8: The Timekeeper's Dilemma : As Evelyn stood on the precipice of decision, the stakes grew higher. The mysterious group hunting the watch had made their move, and their power was growing. Callum and Lucas both urged Evelyn to take action, but each of them had different visions for the future. Callum, determined to protect her at all costs, believed they needed to hide and fortify their position, gathering allies before confronting the enemy. But Lucas, with his knowing eyes and mysterious past, urged Evelyn to confront the enemy head-on, to use the watch’s power and rewrite the timeline if necessary. The pressure mounted, and the weight of Evelyn’s choices pressed heavily on her. One night, as she stared at the glowing watch, she made a decision. She had to act, not just for herself, but for the world that depended on the timeline being protected. But before she could make her move, tragedy struck.

Chapter 7: The Return of Lucas : The days felt longer as Evelyn trained with Callum, learning to manipulate the watch and its power. But in the back of her mind, the figure of Lucas lingered. He had appeared in her dreams more frequently, each encounter leaving her with a sense of longing and confusion. And then, one evening, it happened. Lucas appeared in the town square, standing alone beneath the dim glow of a streetlight. His eyes were hauntingly familiar, yet there was a sense of urgency in his gaze that Evelyn had never seen before. “Evelyn,” he said, his voice low. “It’s time. You have to choose. The fate of the timeline depends on it.” Evelyn’s pulse quickened. “What are you talking about?” Lucas stepped closer, his gaze intense. “You know what I mean. You can’t stay in both worlds forever. The watch has chosen you, but your heart—your heart can only belong to one. The decision will shape everything.” Evelyn felt a lump in her throat. “I don’t know what to do. Callum is her...

Chapter 6: Secrets Unveiled : As the days turned into weeks, Evelyn’s connection to both Callum and the pocket watch grew stronger. The watch had begun to glow at odd times, its silver surface humming with an energy she couldn’t yet understand. Callum had been patient, teaching her about the rules of time manipulation, the ancient society of the Timekeepers, and how the watch was the key to controlling time. But the more she learned, the more questions she had. One evening, Callum took Evelyn to a hidden chamber beneath the old library, the walls lined with dusty books and artifacts. “This is where Timekeepers were trained,” Callum explained. “Your mother was one of the most powerful of them. She kept the timeline safe by protecting the time currents.” Evelyn’s mind was spinning. “So, she was part of this secret world? And I’m supposed to take her place?” “Yes,” Callum said, his voice soft but firm. “But it’s not just about time control. There are forces out there who want to manip...

Chapter 5: Love and Choices : As the days passed, Evelyn’s feelings for Callum grew stronger. He was always there, guiding her, helping her understand the watch’s powers. But as much as she trusted him, there was still a part of her that felt unsettled. One evening, as they sat by the river, Evelyn could feel the distance between them narrowing. Callum turned to her, his eyes searching hers. “You don’t have to go through this alone,” he said, his voice tender. “I’ll be here, every step of the way.” Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, she found herself lost in his gaze. What was this feeling? It was more than friendship, more than trust. It was something deep—something powerful. But then, as though a cloud passed over her thoughts, another face appeared in her mind. Lucas. Lucas had appeared in her dreams—he was always there, like a whisper in the back of her mind. He was part of another world, one where she and he had shared something far beyond time. Evelyn couldn’t e...

Chapter 4: A Hidden Legacy : Callum’s words rang in Evelyn’s ears as she sat with him on the edge of a quiet park. The more he explained, the more she realized how little she knew about her own family. Her mother had never spoken much of her past. But now, Evelyn was learning that her mother was once part of a secret group—a society of Timekeepers who protected the timeline from those who sought to control it. Callum’s gaze softened as he looked at her. “Your mother didn’t just protect time; she was its keeper. And now, Evelyn, it’s your turn.” Evelyn’s stomach twisted in confusion. “Me? I don’t know anything about time travel, or even why I’m having these dreams. I don’t understand how this watch works.” “You will,” Callum said gently. “But first, you have to trust me. The watch chooses its bearer. It chose you. Your mother hid it away to keep you safe, but now… now they’ll come for you. And you have to be ready.” Evelyn’s heart was heavy with the weight of his words. She had alwa...

Chapter 3: Callum Appears : The following day, Evelyn walked through town, trying to make sense of the dream. Who was that figure? And why did the dreams feel so real? She needed answers. That’s when she met him—Callum. He was standing at the corner of the street, his dark hair ruffling in the wind, his eyes scanning the crowd. There was something familiar about him, though she had never seen him before. Their eyes locked. Evelyn felt an odd sense of recognition, like she had known him forever. But before she could speak, Callum stepped toward her, his gaze intense. “You’ve found it, haven’t you?” he asked, his voice low and almost too knowing. Evelyn’s heart raced. “What are you talking about?” “The watch,” he said, his eyes flicking to the small silver chain she wore around her neck, the pocket watch nestled in her palm. “You’re the one they’ve been looking for.” Evelyn swallowed, her throat dry. “Who are you?” “I’m Callum,” he said, a hint of sadness in his voice. “And I’m here ...

Chapter 2: The Dreams Begin : That night, Evelyn dreamed of a city unlike any she had ever seen. The sky above was filled with swirling clouds, and towering buildings of marble rose from the ground. People walked the streets, but there was something strange about them—they weren’t quite real. She stood in the middle of it all, feeling like she didn’t belong. Strange whispers echoed around her, their words unclear. The city felt ancient, yet strangely familiar. But the most haunting part of the dream was the sense of impending doom. A catastrophe was coming. Evelyn woke up with a start, her pulse pounding in her chest. For a moment, she wasn’t sure if she was still dreaming. The room was silent. Her hand instinctively reached for the pocket watch her mother had given her, and she felt a shiver run down her spine. Something was happening. The dreams continued, each one more vivid than the last. Evelyn would find herself in different places—sometimes the past, sometimes the future. Fac...

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Watch : Evelyn Turner had always been the quiet type. In the small town of Alderwood, where little ever seemed to change, she often found herself lost in her own thoughts, her eyes glued to the pages of a book. At seventeen, she had already read more novels than most people twice her age. Yet, no matter how many books she devoured, nothing ever felt quite as magical as the quiet, unspoken bond she shared with her mother, Miriam. It was late one evening when Evelyn stumbled upon something she hadn’t expected. Miriam had asked her to clean out the attic, a task that had long been ignored. Dust swirled in the air as Evelyn shifted boxes around, her fingers grazing over forgotten treasures. Old photo albums, knickknacks from years past… and then, hidden beneath a dusty cloth, there it was. A pocket watch. It wasn’t like any watch Evelyn had seen before. The surface was intricately carved, and when she turned it over, she noticed an inscription: "Time...
