Novel title: before I found you
For some people, love arrives late.
Before that, life teaches them how to Wait-
Without even knowing what they are waiting for.
Riddhi stood by the window, watching the City move below her.
Buses passed. People crossed streets. Noise lived everywhere.
Except inside her.
Her name was Riddhi.
She didn't believe in sudden love.
She believed in habit.
In the kind of presence that stayed quietly–so quietly that one day it become impossible to imagine life without it.
She was twenty six.
She worked at a small publishing house, editing manuscripts, fixing other people's love stories polishing emoticons that were not her own.
Her day's were full of words
Her nights were empty of expectations.
She didn't scroll through her phone before sleeping.
She already knew–no One was waiting for her.
And strongly, that made har clam.
