Some love stories don’t explode.
They decay—slowly, visibly, and by choice.
This is a story about receiving patience without earning it, and mistaking forgiveness for permanence. About learning too late that love remembers every time it was taken for granted. When Advait arrives at a new boarding school—unsure, unrooted, and quietly out of place Kritika is the one who reaches out first. Their bond forms in the ease of unguarded moments and borrowed familiarity.
But what begins as closeness soon learns its price: Advait’s inability to remain anchored, his repeated choice to treat her patience as something renewable, and his habit of returning to what should have remained unfinished. Unaware at first, they move forward—until the very immaturity that draws them close returns one last time—this time, to undo them.
How long can love survive when trust is tested, forgiven, and tested again?
And when regret finally learns its lesson—who is left to receive it?
This is not a story about losing love suddenly.
It is about wearing it down, one deliberate choice at a time.

Ajay Saini
Ajay Saini is an Indian writer and entrepreneur whose work focuses on emotional restraint, internal conflict, and the quiet consequences of human choices. He began writing at a young age, initially in private, and later shared short poems and quotes on his poetry page, @over_writings, where his work found its first readers. Drawn to moments that are often overlooked—hesitation, silence, and the space between intention and action—Ajay’s writing is shaped more by observation than spectacle. This debut novel reflects that sensibility, exploring how people change when they do not yet understand what they are feeling, or what it might cost them later.
Alongside writing, Ajay runs his family business in the trading and wholesaling of aluminium sections and hardware. Balancing creative work with entrepreneurship has deepened his interest in decision-making, responsibility, and long-term consequence—ideas that quietly inform his fiction. Writing began as a secondary pursuit, and for a long time, this book existed only as an unfinished chapter. Seeing it through to completion marked an unexpected turning point, leading him to take writing more seriously as a parallel path.
Ajay lives in Sardarshahar, Churu district, Rajasthan, India.
