Hello!

This is my first story and I wanted it to be a special one. This story focuses on the love between two Indian men.
India, being known for its rich culture and heritage is home to a huge population. Needless to say, there is a  widespread spectrum of people. But, the hard truth is that the LGBTQ+ Community is still a taboo topic and frowned upon even today. India is not exactly accepting (looking on a wide scale, although there are few people who support and understand) and it took me a while to build up the courage and finally pen down(type down hehe) my thoughts as a story. We are still tied down by rituals, orthodox beliefs and familial bonds (most of us). So, being two men who fell in love and trying to keep theirs as well as their individual family bond stable, is a tough task.

The following is the description of the main characters in this story.

Ettan: The protagonist, an IT professional from Ooty, a beautiful hill station located in South India but working in Kolkata. Naksh's love. The whole story is in his POV.

Naksh: Protagonist, Ettan's love. Naksh is an architect from Coimbatore, also known as Manchester of South India, a beautiful city, working in Bangalore another wonderful city in South India. He is also a dancer.

Kat: An independent, strong beautiful woman. Ettan's bestfriend who also becomes Naksh's bestfriend. She owns a cafe in Ooty. Loves bike rides and hair coloring. A literal bad bitch with a beautiful heart.

Nakul: Ettan's little brother. Just a few years younger than Ettan, but smarter than Ettan. Typical tsundre, loves his family more than anything.

As mentioned earlier, this is my first attempt at story writing and English is definitely not my first language, so please bear with any mistakes, if you find any. This book involves characters belonging to the LGBTQ+ community and profanity, so if you feel uncomfortable, please do not proceed further.

This book is inspired by so many beautiful people I met in my life, who I will be forever thankful to. The chapters are long but do stick around till the end, I promise it would be worth it! Please feel free to comment and voice your opinions, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you for giving this one a try.
Off to the chapters!

With Love,
