Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
Mrittika never asked for much—just a little space to breathe, a moment of quiet to write her poems, and the kind of love that stayed. In a world that barely noticed her, she learned to survive in silences and sacrifice, holding together a fragile home and a quieter heart.
Then came Aarav—camera in hand, sketches in his bag, and eyes that truly saw her. Two souls from different worlds collide under the Gulmohar tree on a rainy afternoon, and a single question changes everything.
But love, in its purest form, doesn’t always arrive gently. As whispers turn into judgment and a quiet sketch becomes a storm, Mrittika and Aarav must each confront the weight of their choices, the cost of kindness, and the haunting truth that sometimes, love doesn’t need a villain to break a heart.
This is a story about longing, about the spaces between words, and about what it means to be seen when you’ve spent your whole life blending in.
Because sometimes, loving someone isn’t the hard part—
Staying when it hurts is.

Rooted in empathy and lyrical expression, Banasree's writing reflects her multifaceted identity: the discipline of an academic, the soul of a singer, and the heart of a writer. With this poignant first story, she invites readers into a world where silence speaks louder than words, and half-truths carry the weight of entire lives.
