Hi… this is my first time writing an author’s note, so I’m a little nervous.
Thank you for reading till here. This chapter is very close to me—not because something big happens, but because small things matter here. The kind that stay with you longer than they should.
Mishti doesn’t fully understand what she’s feeling yet. Arka doesn’t fully understand what he’s trying to protect. But somewhere between Maggi jokes, hide and seek promises, and quiet care… something real is forming.
I wanted to ask you—
Did you notice the shift in Arka in this chapter?
Do you think he understands more than he says?
And Mishti… did your heart hurt for her a little? Or a lot?
Also—be honest—
Do you think “Maggi” is cute… or annoying?
I read every comment. Your thoughts genuinely shape how I write next.
Thank you for being here
