🌟 Author’s Note (First Page – Before Chapter 1)

Hey lovely readers 💕

Thank you so much for opening this story.

This isn’t just a work of fiction — it’s a piece of my heart.

🌼 This story follows a 17-year-old girl from Bokaro, Jharkhand, who escapes a toxic home and takes a one-way flight to Mumbai, chasing not a dream, but freedom.

There, she begins a new life with her best friend…

And crosses paths with a boy who hides thunder in his silence — Akif Malik.

It’s a story of:

🌧️ Quiet heartbreak

🌇 Big city lights

💞 Found family

🧃 Soft, slow-burn love

🌸 And the wild strength of a girl who never gave up

I don’t write for fame or money.

I write because I want someone, somewhere, to read this and feel a little less alone.

If this story brings you comfort, tears, butterflies — or even just a smile…

Then my mission is complete 💌

> Love,

AnnieWrites
