NOTE

Before anything else, I'd like to say, please stay indoors and safe, people.

Nothing, I say, nothing is more important than our precious lives. And we don't know how many people will get affected from us, even though we are immune to it.

Please stay safe.

As all over the social media, you don't even have to finish up your pending tasks, or do something beneficial while in quarantine. Just do what you can, and all you can do is survive this by being alive, that is enough.

I know, it can be a little frustrating to be held inside our homes for days together, alright. But this is for ourselves, and for the people who are immune compromised.

With that, I'd like to thank my people for keeping on their cheer for Rumi, Adhithan, Google and I.

Without you guys, I don't think the lazy, inconsistent bum that am, would've have finished this story. I know this is a small one, still it needed a lot of pushing for me to write it. And for someone who haven't completed writing any story in the last two years, this is a huge one. At least for me.

Adhithan's story is a real story that I heard from someone. In real life, that person hasn't come out like Adhithan. In fact, they can't even talk to their therapist about all of these. What's the point, then? Really.

But, honestly, when I updated that chapter where Adhithan tells Rumi about his family, I thought it'd be far fetched--his reasons, his moving out, everything. I changed my opinion only after reading the comments. Many of you had been through such things, which I got to know, after that chapter.

We may not be as courageous as Adhithan, but we're all strong and heroic in our own, little ways. The world might not know it, or even our family and friends might not be aware of it. But we know it, by heart, whatever we've grown strong through.

Kicking all that lack of external validation to the curb, please know that you're stronger than you know.

I know it's social distancing time and all that, still what's there in a virtual hug? Here's a big tight hug from me to you, for being strong, for being you, for not giving up.

I know this story or the writing has not explored the roots of Adhithan's issues and mental agony he'd gone through while he'd stayed with his family. I wanted it that way since I am not sure if I can handle writing such intense emotions at the moment. I just wanted to write a lighthearted story :)

I am happy to answer if you have any questions, doubts regarding this story, whatever may it be, here. Kindly ask off :D

And I am sorry that you all had to read such a kissing scene. It could've been better. I will try to rewrite it while editing it xD

Thank you for bearing my mokkai in the name of author note.

And Dabara Tumbler readers, apologies for delaying the update. I am trying to brush up the next chapter, and it should be up soon. :D

Love,
