h e l l o ! 🤗 Welcome to...







My name is Khushi and some of you may know me or not... I used to be active about 4 years ago, incharge of IPK newsletters, and other DT, BC, CC stuff, etc. Anywho, I am here to post this fanfiction that I wrote a couple years back on wattpad... thought I should share it here also for those who are not on that site!

Arnav Singh Raizada. He uses his deepest scars as his weapon, the kindest eyes are overshadowed by chilliest glares, and his smile somewhere lost in his sorrowful heart.


And then, there is Khushi Gupta. A girl in loose shirts, messy bun, and haunted eyes. Or rather, a haunted past that turns her into the complete opposite of who she used to be.


Despite losing herself, she brings out a side of him he keeps only for his sisters.
Despite trying not to care, he brings out a side of her she keeps suppressed from everyone, even herself.


She wants him to stay away. He cannot think clearly when it comes to her.


Fate turns pretty twisted by intertwining their lives, their past, their pain.


This, is a story of how two spirits dare to save the other and in return, save themselves.


Disclaimer: contains mature themes of depression, 'lack of appetite', panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, society's reaction to rape.




| . . . a b o u t . . . |

After spending a year in depression trying to overcome the brutal and tragic incident that changed Khushi's life forever, she makes the decision to leave her home country, India, and get her college education in Australia in hopes of being able to put her past behind her. Little does she know; her past isn't ready to leave her yet. Simply a change of scenery isn't enough for the healing process when the fear has taken root deep within her soul.


Her hopes of a peaceful and invisible life in Australia is thrown off course due to a certain Arnav Singh Raizada who simply cannot leave her be. Is it because he's attracted to her? No. Not only is she a mystery to him but he hides his real reasons for wanting to help her. Little does he know, her past isn't just haunting her but is about to drag him into everything familiar and unfamiliar to him, challenging everything known and unknown in his life, ripping apart his deepest wounds.


Neither of them is a saint nor do they believe in sharing their pain with others.


And yet, he dares to save her and in turn, save himself.

Dare to Save is the first book in the trilogy, followed by Dare to Live, and Dare to Love. If these names sound familiar, it would be because the books are posted in completion on another website, Wattpad. It received great support there which encouraged me to enter the editing process & everything.

Dare to Save was previously known as Dare to Touch.



The book's first draft was written in 2014-2016.

It was first shared on Wattpad from November 2016- November 2017.

Earlier in Feb '18, I decided to rewrite the plot to make it better, include more scenes and improve writing style, work on grammatical errors, etc. This month, I started to share the new version on Wattpad & Tapas.

Starting April, I have decided to share it here as well. However, chapters will still first be posted on earlier two sites first.

If you would like to read ahead, these are the options!


Option #1: As early access, chapters will be first posted on a site called tapas. You can create an account there for free and download an app to read on your mobiles/iPads from apple store or google play. You can use read it using their web as well.

Reason: The site allows me to earn a small amount with each read. 😳 Its the lowest form of self-publishing & ofcourse the money will help a struggling student and it won't be much, but it's still a step I am taking to hopefully truly think about the traditional form of publishing a novel.

This option is free. Help me earn by you paying nothing. Nice, right?


Use the invite code DIAM418W to join the site.






Option #2: If you would prefer not to create an account on another website, I completely understand. After some time of the chapter being posted on tapas (maybe after a week or so), the chapter is posted on wattpad. Catch: It will be kept private so in order to read, you will have to follow me there. Search for the book and/or username (you can find it on the book cover image) there and you should be able to find your way on your own!The link to my account there can also be found on my profile here on I-F.

Reason: Well, as said, it's a newer version and isn't it something like what happens when an author edits a draft and would later publish it? To read the new one, you have to buy it. Here, I am just asking you to follow me [if you choose not to go with option 1 - though if you're impatient like me and want to read it as soon as it is posted, I suggest you head over to tapas ;) ]



Lastly, if you are okay with waiting, you are more than welcome to stick to I-F and read it here a few days/weeks after its been shared on previous two places. 😃



Keep scrolling down for index!

Hi everyone! 🤗

This book went through a few decision changes whereby at first, I posted this in 2017 but stopped midway. Then I decided to post the previews for new version in a new thread and a week ago, stopped that as well.

Now, finally, as of March 28, 2018 I have decided to share it again. Full chapters, not just previews. This time, I am going to stick to that decision. 😳 As such, I requested for both threads to be merged so I can post in one.

I hope you'll be interested in reading this! Don't forget to add the PM ID .ArHi_Paradise. as your buddy to receive PMs on updates!

Looking forward to your response :)


Much Love,
Khushi/Araina/unspokenrain
