And what did I do? I crushed her. With my silence. With my indifference. With the walls I built so high she could never climb them. Worst of all? My fucking betrayal. She thinks it's over. That the divorce ended us. But the truth she doesn't know is brutal-she's still my wife. On paper, in law, in name... and in the marrow of my bones. I never let her go. I couldn't. I've spent years carrying the weight of her absence like a noose around my neck. Every day without her has been punishment. Every night, I see the girl I destroyed staring back at me in my dreams, reminding me that I turned her love into ashes. But this time, I won't let her slip through my fingers. I'll fight. I'll bleed. I'll burn the world if I have to. She might hate me, curse me, despise the ground I walk on-but I'll take it. Because losing her once broke me. Losing her again will kill me. I was her nightmare once. Now I'll be her damnation or her salvation. But I'll be hers.

Three years ago, they shared a single evening that never quite left them- a conversation too easy, laughter too familiar, a pull too strong for strangers. But the timing was wrong, the circumstances messier than either could admit. No second date. No promises. Now, out of the blue, his name lights up her screen, like a ghost who never really died. She answers. What follows isn't dramatic-just two voices, unexpectedly familiar, threading their way through old silences. Do they still mean something to each other... or is this just emotional static stirred by nostalgia? They don't know. Maybe it's fate catching a glitch. Or maybe, some stories aren't meant to be rewritten- just reread once before putting them down for good.

Every night at 10:45 PM, a mysterious man with a steel tiffin appears at Tanu's failing European bakery in Ranchi, collecting her day's disasters with the reverence of someone handling precious artifacts. He pays too much, arranges imperfect pastries like art installations, and disappears into the November darkness with secrets that taste sweeter than her best chocolate walnut slice. When Tanu discovers where her lopsided buns and overbaked cream puffs actually end up, she realizes that sometimes the most beautiful things in life come wrapped in yesterday's failures. But what happens when the mathematics of love collide with family expectations, business ultimatums, and the delicate architecture of dreams built from leftover crumbs? Some stories begin with perfect recipes. This one starts with everything going deliciously wrong.
