Wildflower

Mohona was the golden girl.

A great job in the US. A startup on the verge of a breakthrough. A man she loved and was ready to marry. Until one morning, eight months ago, her inbox buzzed with a pornographic link.

She thought the internet was too vast for anyone to remember one sextape. She thought the secret she and her parents had buried would stay hidden from her newly wed husband.

She was wrong.

Now married to Shashwat Thakur, a Grade A Government Engineer, Mohona follows him to his latest posting deep inside the Malang Forest. He expects a quiet assignment and a fresh start. She expects nothing from a husband who still struggles to trust her.

Instead, they find a village surrounded by suspicion, a community treated as dangerous outsiders, and a series of strange incidents nobody seems willing to investigate properly.

Birds begin disappearing. Ancient trees start dying. Threats turn into attacks.

The deeper Mohona looks, the more she realises that the people she was warned about may not be the ones she should fear. And as Shashwat joins her in uncovering the truth, the distance between them begins to change in ways neither of them expected.

A troubled marriage. A hidden past. A dangerous investigation. And a forest full of people who have their own reasons to keep their guards up.
