AUTHOR'S NOTE: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS CHAPTER

Hey lovely readers 💌

Before you dive into this chapter, I want to take a moment to talk to you—not as the writer of this story, but as someone who truly values your thoughts, your emotions, and your connection to these characters.

This chapter might stir up a lot of feelings. Some of you may feel frustrated, shocked, confused, or even angry at Meher, Sayra, or both. And honestly? That's okay. It means you're invested. It means you're feeling something—and as a writer, that is the greatest gift I could ask for. But, I want to gently ask something from you:

Please, try not to judge either Meher or Sayra too quickly or too harshly.

The decisions they make in this chapter might seem questionable, impulsive, or even selfish. But behind every action is a storm of emotion, a past full of pain, love, fear, guilt, and choices that haven't always been easy. This chapter only reveals one side of what's happening. The why—the reasons behind their actions—will be revealed slowly, piece by piece, as the story unfolds.

These characters are deeply layered. They are not perfect, and they are not meant to be. They are flawed, they are growing, they are human. Sometimes we do things in moments of vulnerability or desperation that we later regret. Sometimes we act out of love in ways that might look like betrayal from the outside. And sometimes, the consequences of one decision echo far louder than we ever expected.

What you see today is only the surface of what's really going on underneath.

So please, hold space for their stories. Let them mess up. Let them be human. Let them make decisions that you don't agree with. Because that's what real growth looks like—not just for the characters, but for us too, as readers and people who try to understand others.

And trust me, every action has its consequence in this story. Nothing goes unnoticed. Nothing is without reason. Nothing is random.

I promise that you will get the answers you're looking for. I won't leave you in the dark.

Until then, read this chapter with an open mind and an open heart.

Thank you for being here. For reading. For caring. For feeling. I don't take it lightly that you're investing your time and emotions in this world I've created.

Now, take a deep breath, open your heart, and step into this chapter.

Love always,

SISHA

It had been a strange morning. Quiet, but not empty. Heavy, but not suffocating.

I had woken up feeling like I'd shed something overnight—some weight, some guilt, some version of myself that kept shrinking in the shadow of expectation.

And maybe that's why it had felt oddly simple, almost laughably so, when I'd turned to Meher and said it, flat out:

"The guy who came to see me... that was Rithvik."

She had frozen for a second, like she wasn't sure she'd heard me right.

And then she had whispered, "Rithvik?"
