Chapter 18 - Sorry.

Heyy, everyone.

So, it's been a while, right? I know, I know. You probably opened this update thinking, "Oh finally, the next chapter is here!"

And… umm… well, not exactly 😅

This isn't a chapter-chapter, but maybe something even more important — a little talk between me and you. Because I feel like I owe you that, and honestly, I kinda miss talking to you all.

So here's the thing — this story, right now, has reached a point where it needs time. Like, a lot of time. Not a day, not a week, but months. Maybe 3, maybe 5, maybe even more. I can't really say exactly when, but I can say this: when I come back, I'll come back stronger, sharper, and more ready than ever to continue this world we started together. 🌌

I've been thinking a lot about this story lately — about Yashika, Chirag, and everything that's happening in the town. And there's so much that I want to do with it, but it's going to take time, patience, and clarity. And right now, I think the best thing I can give this story (and myself) is a little pause.

So yeah… I'm calling this the end of Volume 1. 🥹💔

Not because the story is over, but because it deserves a clean, strong, thrilling beginning again when it returns — with Volume 2.

And I promise, when it does, it'll come with new mysteries, new chills, and the same chaos you all loved. (Maybe even more 👀)

I know waiting isn't fun — trust me, I hate waiting too — but I really hope you'll understand this little break. Sometimes, stories need to breathe a bit before they can grow again.

So yeah, that's all for now. Don't forget this story, okay? Keep it safe in your reading list, so that when that notification pops up again someday, you'll be like, "She's back!!" ✨

Till then, take care, read some good books, miss the characters a little (just a little), and remember — this is not the end. It's just the pause between two heartbeats.

And...

I know, maybe my story isn't the most perfect or thrilling thing out there — maybe some parts even felt boring — but the fact that you still read it means the world to me. Honestly, I never thought I'd reach this many readers. Seeing that number itself feels like a tiny victory, one that my past self wouldn't have believed possible.

And I want to say this with my whole heart — thank you. Truly. 💙

I'm really, really sorry for doing this — for pausing it here, right at the edge of suspense. It doesn't feel right, even to me. I actually feel pathetic writing this because I hate leaving you all hanging like this. But right now… my mind's a mess. Everything around me is tangled and loud, and I don't want my story to become that too.

So maybe, just maybe, this pause is what both of us need — for me to breathe, and for the story to stay beautiful and clear when it returns.

I hate this, trust me, I do. But I hope you understand. Thank you so much for being here, for reading, for caring. Stay safe, stay healthy, and please take care of yourselves. I love you all, truly. 💫

I'm really sorry. I know it doesn't affect you but nevertheless.

Love always,❤️
