DEDICATION🎀
To the ones who loved and lost,
to the hearts that broke yet still believed,
and to the dreams that withered but refused to die—
this story belongs to you.
Author's Note
Heyy Sweetheart’s
💗🎀
Some stories aren’t just written—they are felt, lived, and breathed into existence.
Withered Rose
is one of them.
This book isn’t just about love; it’s about loss, longing, and the strength to rise again when everything falls apart. It’s about the promises we make, the dreams we chase, and the painful reality that sometimes life doesn’t go as planned. It’s about a love that withstands time, misunderstandings, and even the most heartbreaking separations.
To those who have ever lost something they loved—whether it was a dream, a person, or a part of themselves—I see you.
This story is for you.
Neil and his love are not just characters; they are emotions, memories, and silent prayers we’ve all whispered at some point in our lives. He loved deeply, but he also made mistakes. She suffered silently, but she never stopped loving. Their journey is imperfect, just like love itself. But maybe that’s what makes it real. Maybe that’s what makes it worth fighting for.
If you have ever waited for someone, held on to a love that felt impossible, or found yourself standing at the crossroads of dreams and destiny, I hope this book finds a place in your heart. And I hope, more than anything, that it reminds you—no matter how much life withers you, you can still bloom again.
With all my heart,
Your Author

Content warnings⚠️📌
I know people say that:
They read content warnings like a shopping list—
“Ek heartbreak lo, thodi si trauma daal do, aur ek pinch miscommunication bhi chhod do.”
But no, my dear reader, this isn’t just a list. This is a warning.
If your heart is too soft, read this with caution. Because this isn’t just a love story—it’s a story of pain, loss, and the struggle to piece yourself back together when life breaks you apart.
Themes of loss and heartbreak:
This story delves into the pain of losing a dream, a person, and even oneself in the process. It portrays the depth of heartbreak, unfulfilled promises, and the kind of love that lingers even when everything else fades. If you’re someone who feels emotions deeply, be prepared for a journey that might leave your heart aching.
Emotional and Psychological Struggles:
This book is not just about love but also about the weight of silence, the burden of regret, and the unseen battles people fight within themselves. The characters go through loneliness, self-doubt, and the agony of what-ifs, which may be overwhelming for those sensitive to themes of mental and emotional pain.
Miscommunication and Separation:
Sometimes, love isn’t enough, and words left unsaid hurt more than the ones spoken. A major part of this story revolves around misunderstandings, missed chances, and the heartbreak of knowing that just one moment, one word, or one decision could have changed everything. If you can’t stand the pain of two people meant to be together being torn apart, this might not be for you.
Slow Healing and Recovery
:
Healing is not instant; it’s messy, painful, and sometimes feels impossible. This book doesn’t promise an easy journey, but it does promise that even after the worst storms, there is still a chance to bloom again.
If you’re looking for a lighthearted romance without emotional turbulence, honey, this book is not your type.
You get the idea, right? This isn’t just a sweet, dreamy love story that will give you butterflies. It’s a journey—from heartbreak to healing, from losing yourself to finding your way back.
If you’re ready to feel—really feel—every ache, every longing, every unspoken word that lingers between two souls…
Then
Withered Rose
is waiting for you.

Neil Borah, a passionate artist, once painted dreams with colors of love. Reeme Das, a classical dancer, swayed like poetry in motion. Their love story began in college, where he confessed his feelings in front of everyone, promising to meet again once they achieved their dreams.
Years passed. Neil became a renowned artist, his paintings whispering stories of a girl with dancing eyes. Reeme, however, disappeared from his world. The day of their reunion arrived, but she never came.
He waited. Hours turned into days. Love turned into anger. Did she forget him? Or had she chosen a life without him?
Somewhere, miles away, Reeme sat by the window, now a memory of what could have been.
Will fate bring them back together? Or was their love meant to remain a story unfinished?
