Hello it's Vedanta Anagha --- "In a world that felt too quiet, she was a girl who knew the weight of loneliness. But one day, when shadows felt heaviest, a boy with a gentle smile entered her life, bringing light to corners of her heart she thought would stay hidden forever. Through shared secrets, silent understanding, and moments that spoke louder than words, they found in each other what they'd been missing-a friend who saw past the masks, and a bond that filled the spaces left empty by solitude. Their journey isn't about changing each other, but rather about becoming whole together in a world that's better with two."
