My Last Rites My Brother Performed My Last Rites While I Was Still Alive. At fifteen, I was called a monster for a crime I never committed. My family performed my last rites and declared me dead while I was still alive. I begged them to stop. No one listened. I begged them to believe me. No one did.

Riley doesn't remember the last time someone asked if she was okay. Not really asked. Not in the way that meant they were going to stay for the answer. She is seventeen years old and she has already learned the most important lesson this town has to offer - that people leave. They leave with promises folded neatly in their pockets, with good intentions they fully mean at the time, with duffel bags and bus tickets and fifteen days that turn into three years without a single word. They leave, and the ones left behind learn to stop waiting by the window. They learn to stop setting an extra plate. They learn to breathe around the absence until the absence just becomes the air. Riley works the late shift. She carries drinks to tables without being asked twice. She doesn't flinch at loud voices anymore. She doesn't cry at things that used to make her cry. She has become very good at being invisible in a room full of people - and even better at being invisible to herself. This is not the life she imagined. But it is the life she has. And she has made her peace with it, quietly, the way you make peace with things you never had a choice about. She is not waiting for anyone anymore. She stopped doing that a long time ago. Until the night a familiar face walks through the door - and three brothers who left her behind must now face what their absence built. Because blood doesn't forget. And neither does Riley.

But the injuries are not what haunt her most. With her awakening comes the terrifying return of memories from a previous life-a future in which she was betrayed by the people she trusted, abandoned by those who should have protected her, and ultimately lost everything she held dear.

Sometimes, we think we know where our life is going. We make plans. We dream. We hold on to the things we love. But what happens when God writes a completely different story for us? This is a story about faith, love, struggles, forgiveness, and learning to trust God even when His plan doesn't make sense. Hindi natin laging naiintindihan kung bakit may mga bagay na nangyayari sa buhay natin. Minsan, nagtatanong tayo, nasasaktan tayo, at hindi natin alam kung saan tayo patungo. But maybe we don't need to understand everything right away. Because sometimes, the greatest stories begin when we finally let go and allow God to take the pen. A fictionalized story inspired by the Gospel of Matthew. - IndayChie

Some love stories end. Some are simply left unfinished. When thirty-two-year-old Ira walks into a small Mumbai café on the worst evening of her life, she expects nothing more than a cup of coffee and somewhere quiet to disappear for an hour. Instead, she finds Devika-the guarded café owner who seems to understand silence better than most people understand words-and an empty table that no one is allowed to use. Then Ira discovers an old photograph among her mother's belongings. It shows Leela, her mother, standing outside the very same café decades earlier, smiling beside a woman Ira has never seen before. On the back of the photograph is a single sentence: "If she ever comes looking, tell her I didn't leave because I stopped loving her." The woman in the photograph is Nandita-Devika's mother. As Ira and Devika begin searching through the café's forgotten letters, photographs, and memories, they uncover a love story their mothers buried long ago. But the deeper they go into the past, the closer they become in the present. And that is where things become complicated. Because Ira is afraid of being left. Devika is afraid of needing someone enough to lose them. Their mothers' unfinished story begins to echo through their own. But perhaps they don't have to repeat it. Perhaps some stories aren't meant to be inherited. Perhaps they are meant to be rewritten. The Things We Leave Behind is a tender, emotionally charged sapphic romance about secrets, chosen family, lost years, forgiveness, and two women discovering that love isn't about never leaving. Sometimes, it's about choosing to stay. And sometimes, the things we thought we'd lost forever find their way back to us.
