Shadows Of The Raizada Legacy

Author's Note 📝

My dearest readers and Arshi family 💖✨

Soooo... finally this day is here 🥹
Honestly, I don't even know where to start because my heart is literally filled with so many emotions while writing this author note 😭❤️

First of all... welcome to my new story 🌸

This book is based on the magical world of IPKKND, but with a completely different twist that has been living inside my imagination for the longest time ever ✨
And yes... this story is going to be based on Aman x OC 🫣💖

I can already imagine some shocked faces right now 😂
Because trust me, even I never thought I would write something apart from Arshi one day 😭

As all of you know, I'm a CRAZY Arshi fan. Like literally CRAZY 😭❤️
Arnav and Khushi are not just characters for me anymore... they are emotions, comfort, memories, happiness, pain, chaos, love — everything 🥹✨
Their chemistry, their fights, their silent understanding, their love story... nothing can ever replace that magic in my heart. NEVER 💔🌙

But somewhere between all those scenes and moments, there was always one character who silently stayed in a corner of my mind... Aman.

Poor Aman 😭
Always solving Arnav's problems.
Always listening to "AMANNNN!" every five minutes 😂
Always working silently in the background without getting his own story 🥺

And one day, while randomly rewatching IPKKND for the millionth time like every obsessed fan does 🤡❤️... my imagination suddenly created a whole different world for him.
A story.
A girl.
Emotions.
Pain.
Love.
Chaos.
And slowly... this book was born 🌙✨

At first, I ignored the idea.
I really did 😭
Because I kept thinking — "What if readers don't like it?"
"What if people think I'm replacing Arshi?"
"What if nobody connects with this story?" 💔

But the more I thought about it... the more attached I became to this little world in my imagination 🥹
These characters slowly became my comfort. Their story started playing in my mind day and night like a movie 🎬✨
And then I realized something...

Stories are not always created to replace something.
Sometimes stories are simply created because a writer's heart wants to tell them ❤️

So here I am today... nervously and excitedly presenting this story to all of you 🫶✨

This book is my imagination.
My comfort world.
My little "what if" story 🌸

And I really, really hope you all will give it a chance with an open heart 🥺💖

Maybe you'll laugh with these characters.
Maybe you'll cry with them.
Maybe you'll get angry at them 😂
Maybe you'll fall in love with them slowly.
Or maybe this story will become a tiny comfort place for you too 🌙✨

For those who are reading my work for the first time —
Hiiiii 💕
Myself Aaru, a Wattpad writer and forever an Arshi soul 😭❤️
Writing has always been my escape from reality, and every single comment, vote, and message from you guys means more than you can ever imagine 🥹

Sometimes I may not reply properly.
Sometimes updates may become late because life gets messy 😭
But please know that I read everything, feel everything, and appreciate every little bit of support from the bottom of my heart 🫶✨

And to my old readers...
Thank you for staying with me through every story, every emotional breakdown, every dramatic plot twist, and every random update 😂❤️
You all honestly feel like family now 🌸

This story may be different.
This pairing may be unexpected.
But I promise I'll pour all my emotions, effort, and love into this book 💖

So please...
Support this story the same way you support me 🥺✨
Vote if you like it.
Comment your thoughts.
Scream at the characters with me 😂
Cry with me.
Laugh with me.
And most importantly... stay with me till the end of this journey 🌙❤️

Now enough emotional talking before I start crying again 😭😂

Take a deep breath, grab your snacks, and enter this new chaotic, emotional, dramatic, cute little world with me ✨📚

With lots and lots of love,
Your Aaru 💖
