To all my sweet little StoryBeans,🥰😍
I’m beyond excited😁 (and a little nervous!)😅 to share with you something very close to my heart – my new story. It's a world I've poured my laughter, late-night thoughts, endless cups of coffee, and quiet little daydreams into😊. The characters are ready to meet you, the drama is about to unfold, and the chaos? Oh, it’s deliciously inevitable!😜
author!!
This story isn’t just about romance, fun, or family—it’s about the tiny things we feel but never say aloud:-). It’s messy and magical and just a little bit mischievous (like someone we all know 👀)😉. So buckle up, my adorable StoryBeans, because you're in for a ride full of plot twists, teasing banter, cozy moments, and all the emotions in between.
author!!
I hope you laugh with my characters,😊 roll your eyes at their antics, cry with them when life gets too real, and cheer them on when they find their strength.💜🥰

author!!
Thank you for being here. Thank you for being my StoryBeans💟. Let’s make this the most beautiful mess of a story we’ve ever told together 💫
With all my love, madness, and a bit of sweetness,
– Your chaotic author, always dreaming 🌸💞
💫 Meet Amaya Kapoor – aka Amy
Amaya Kapoor—better known as Amy to the ones brave enough to keep up with her—
is the youngest spark of the Kapoor family. Mischief dances in her eyes, chaos follows her steps, and trouble? Well… that’s just her middle name. 😇
She’s the kind of girl who hides cupcakes behind books in the library, skips lectures to dance in the rain, and can win a fight with nothing but a smirk and a killer comeback.
Adored by her maa, papa, and her didi, Amy is their hurricane in heels—
wild, loud, loving… and impossible to ignore.
🌷 Meet Anika Kapoor – the Calm in the Chaos
If Amaya is fire, Anika Kapoor is the breeze that cools it.
The elder daughter of the Kapoor family, Anika is all things gentle, graceful, and gold-hearted. She speaks softly but never without meaning, loves deeply but quietly, and carries the kind of warmth that makes people feel safe without ever asking for it.
She’s the kind of person kids run to and patients trust instantly—
No wonder she became a pediatrician, a healer of tiny wounds and even tinier hearts.
While Amy sets the world on fire, Anika is the reason the home still stands—
her steady presence, her sweet smile, and her endless patience keeping everyone grounded.
She’s more than a doctor.
She’s the kind of sister who always knows when Amy’s in trouble before she says a word…
and the kind of woman who loves without needing the spotlight.
😈💖 Meet "Devil Maa" – Nandhini Kapoor
Nandhini Kapoor, lovingly (and a little fearfully) nicknamed “Devil Maa,”
is not your average desi mother.
She’s Amaya’s carbon copy—bubbly, dramatic, sarcastic to the bone, and dangerously charming.
While most moms lecture about boys and studies, Devil Maa is more likely to help Amy sneak out for ice cream at midnight… and teach her how to win an argument with nothing but eyeliner and attitude. 😏
With Anika, she’s the gentle best friend—sharing recipes, secret glances during family drama, and always reminding her to take care of herself too.
But with Amy?
She’s a full-blown partner-in-crime—plotting pranks, hiding detentions, and pretending to be shocked when trouble knocks at their door (even though she probably sent the invite).
Behind all the sass and sassier sarees, Devil Maa is pure gold—
a mother who laughs with them, cries for them, and will fight the world if anyone dares to touch her girls.
She’s the heartbeat of the Kapoor household—
Louder than life. Warmer than chai. Wilder than her daughters combined.
🤍 Meet Ajay Kapoor – The Silent Strength
Ajay Kapoor doesn’t speak much…
But when he does, everyone listens.
The pillar of the Kapoor family, he’s a man of few words and infinite patience.
While his wife and daughters dance around the house with laughter and chaos, he watches with a small smile, like someone who’s already living in the heaven most people dream of.
With Anika, he shares long silences, warm glances, and an unspoken understanding.
She gets her gentleness from him—the steady heart, the quiet strength, the ability to soothe a storm with just a look.
With Amaya, he’s a softie in disguise.
She may call herself a devil, but one look from her papa, and her fire turns into cotton candy.
She’s his weakness—and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
And with his Nandhini—
He’s the only one who can match her mischief… by not reacting to it at all.
Their love is the kind that doesn’t need drama—it lives in stolen smiles over morning chai and the way his hand always finds hers in a crowded room.
Ajay Kapoor is not the loudest in the house—
But he is, undeniably, its heartbeat.
💃🏼 Meet Niharika Mehta – Amy’s Forever Girl
If Amaya Kapoor is a firecracker, Niharika Mehta is the matchstick.
Bubbly, savage, and loyal to the bone, Nihuu has been by Amy’s side since play school—
from fighting over crayons to fighting off heartbreaks.
They’re two halves of the same hurricane—
finishing each other’s sentences, stealing each other’s clothes, and defending each other like their lives depend on it.
Amy causes the drama, and Nihuu livestreams it with commentary. 😏
She knows all of Amaya’s secrets—
from her crushes to her biggest fear, the real reason behind her smiles… and the pain she hides underneath.
To the world, Amy is the loud girl with killer eyeliner, a sharp tongue, and a laugh that turns heads.
To nihuu, she’s home.
Her keeper of secrets. Her late-night therapist. Her “I’ll bail you out even if I warned you” best friend.
