Hi!
First of all, I know not even a single follower of mine probably cares, but I still owe my *silent followers* an explanation.
I'm going on a break.
And by "break," I don't mean 15 days, a month, or two. I mean **9 whole months**.
Now I know exactly what bell started ringing in your head after hearing *9 months*. Sorry to disappoint... I ain't on *that* leave.
I have my **board exams**.
I genuinely thought I'd be able to manage everything, but clearly, I can't. I haven't uploaded reels on Instagram, can't even edit one or two, and writing has become equally difficult.
I did promise you all the complete **Duet 1**, and I'll give it to you by **Sunday**. *(Hopefully for sure this time. )*
After that, this year needs my full attention—my studies and academics. So I'm taking a **9-month break**.
I'll try to post once in a while until December, but no promises. If you've been through a board year, you already know that **December to March** is absolute chaos.
I'll also *try* to post chapters of **Duet 2** if I manage to write... which I probably won't. So again—**no promises.**
I know I'm a super lazy author. I know I mess things up... actually, almost every single time. But this break is something I genuinely need.
I'm not saying goodbye—I'm just saying I won't be posting regularly. Maybe you'll see me once in a blue moon. Maybe you won't. I honestly don't know.
I just felt like you deserved an explanation instead of me disappearing.
If you want to wait for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And if you don't, I completely understand. I can't ask you to put your reading journey on hold.
If you've read this far, at least leave me a **thumbs up** or an **okay** in the comments. I know I probably won't get many, but I'd really appreciate one.
**Yours, and only yours,**
**Akashya**
