As the title suggests the story is inspired from O'Henry's The Last Leaf. This is a dedication to our favourite couple Adiya who are setting the screen on fire. The story is about loving and living.

Ever felt your heart shatter into pieces? Ever felt the strength it took to suppress your cries so that no one could hear you? Ever looked yourself in the mirror and took pity on the figure you see? Ever been in one sided love?

Aditya has been going through a tough past. Years have passed yet he had not been able to overcome the loss. One fine day, a young woman enters his life in the most unexpected way. Unknowingly, she becomes a very important part of his life. Things seem to go perfect until he encounters a major truth. How will he deal with it? A different story of love. This is Aditya's love story in his words.

After three complacent years of a contract marriage that suits both their needs emotionally but never physically, Aditya has had enough of desiring something more with his beautiful wife so decides to give her a choice; add sex to their relationship or allow him to find his release elsewhere. Will Zoya give herself over to her husband or watch as somebody else does?
