Author's note
Dear Reader,
Thank you for opening these pages. This story is for anyone who has loved deeply, lost quietly, and still found the strength to keep going. If you find a piece of yourself in Tripti's journey, I hope you also find hope. May this story remind you that healing isn't forgetting - it's learning to smile while carrying the memories that shaped you.
Before You Begin
Some people enter our lives to stay while,
some arrive only to teach us something before they leave.
This is not a story about villains or heroes.
It is a story about friendship, heartbreak, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to keep moving forward when life changes without warning.
If you've ever lost someone you thought would stay forever, I hope you find a piece of yourself within these pages.
