Khushboo
by Laiqa
Some stories are not told in events.
They are felt-in silences, in prayers, in small moments that linger long after they pass.
Khushboo is a collection of quiet memories, unspoken emotions, and truths that live between a father and a daughter, between home and growing up, between who we were and who we become.
Through simple moments-a slice of cake, a question left unanswered, a smile remembered-this book explores love that doesn't ask for attention, pain that never raises its voice, and bonds that remain unbroken even when words fail.
It is about childhood slipping away without warning.
About guilt, faith, responsibility, and longing.
About parents who stay, silently holding the weight of our becoming.
Khushboo is not a loud story.
It doesn't rush.
It doesn't explain everything.
It stays-
like a scent of home on your clothes long after you've left.
If you have ever missed your childhood,
if you have ever struggled to say I love you to the people who raised you,
if you believe that the smallest moments carry the deepest meanings-
This book is for you.
