Happy New Year, My Precious Pearls
          This new year, I wish you peace, happiness, and dreams that slowly and beautifully come true. May 2026 be kinder to all of us. Thank you for being my safe place, my motivation, and my reminder that even after loss, something meaningful can still begin.
          
          2025 wasn’t the easiest year for me. 
          I lost my book. I broke down more times than I can count. I lost people I once thought would stay. There were moments when I felt empty, unsure, and tired of holding myself together.
          But somewhere in all that loss, I found you all.
          Readers who truly saw me, valued my words, loved my stories, and stood by me with patience and warmth. You became my strength when I felt weak, my reason to keep writing when I wanted to stop.
          This year taught me that even when things fall apart, something beautiful can still grow. And you are that beauty for me. Thank you for believing in me when I struggled to believe in myself.
          As we step into a new year together, I promise to keep writing from my heart, for yours
          
          And before I end this…I have a little surprise waiting for you tomorrow morning!!!
          Do check my Instagram, okay? 
          
          With all my love,
          Shikha

I am honestly so done with life right now. It feels like I am unlucky in everything like whatever I love, I am destined to lose. And today just proved that belief all over again.
          
          Today morning I opened Wattpad and my hands literally started shaking.
          My book LOVE JOURNEY: From Strangers to Life was gone. 
          
          I got an email saying it was deleted because of numerous reports… and I honestly have no idea how or why. I’ve been on a break for so long, and from day one I’ve stayed away from controversies, fights, or anything that could lead to this. Still… this happened.
          It feels like my worst fear coming true. 
          
          This was my first book. My first dream. My first everything.
          Even while typing this, I’m crying and I don’t even know how to process it. 
          
          What hurts more is that this isn’t the first time. Earlier, a few chapters were deleted automatically and I somehow gathered myself and rewrote them. But now… rewriting the entire book when half the story was already completed feels impossible. I’m exhausted, broken, and honestly numb. 
          
          I’ve texted Wattpad support and I’m desperately hoping they restore it.
          If they don’t… then this is where this book ends. 
          
          I hate this feeling so much. Losing my first book feels like losing a part of me.
          I don’t know what to say or do anymore

Is it the first one or second part of ur sequel 

Update when???
          

Hey! Would like to know how many chapters are left of love journey 
          

◇ Pearls, I owe you this… ◇
          
          Hieee my Pearls ♡
          I know I had shared an update schedule earlier on Insta, but these past days turned out to be super hectic and I just couldn’t keep up ♧
          
          Honestly, I feel sad too… not being able to update, not even finding time to reply to DMs or have proper convos with friends. Trust me, it wasn’t intentional at all ♤ Life just got really busy, and I’m truly sorry for that ♡
          
          So instead of rushing half-hearted updates, I decided to reset things properly and give you a clear schedule ☆
          
          Here’s our new update timing ⏳
          
          ♤ Love Journey – Mondays & Thursdays (9 PM)
          ♤ Zehrav: Her Solace Flame – Sundays (6 PM)
          
          This way, both stories will get the love & time they deserve, and you’ll always have something fresh to look forward to ♡
          
          Thank you for being so patient and loving, Pearls♡

Hey pearls,
          I'm really sorry to let you know that I'm not keeping well. Since my birthday, I've been down with a fever and haven't had the energy to do anything.
          Honestly, I don’t even feel like opening my drafts right now, so I haven’t been able to edit or update any chapters.
          
          Please give me a few days to recover—
          As soon as I’m better, I promise I’ll be back with updates.
          Thank you for understanding and staying patient
          
          Your Author,
