Hey, my darling readers,

My old readers and my new ones - you already know I write about the things people don't like to talk about.

The uncomfortable things. The things that don't fit into neat boxes of right and wrong.

This story is special to me.
Not because of the age gap.

Not because Kavita and Shreyansh break social norms.

But because this story is about something we don't talk about enough - choice.

Especially when it comes to women.

Every morning, we wake up and the first thought is never about ourselves.

There are responsibilities.

Duties. Expectations.

People who need us.

People who depend on us.

We learn very early how to be a good daughter, a good student, a good wife, a good mother, a good woman.

But no one ever teaches us how to be ourselves.

Kavita Sen is not a perfect woman.

She is not always warm.
She is not always kind. She is not always right.
She is a doctor who saves lives, a mother who loves deeply, and a woman who has spent her entire life doing what was expected of her.
She knows duty.
She knows sacrifice.
She knows obligation.

But she has never known what it feels like to choose something simply because she wants it.

Shreyansh is not her happiness.
He is not her escape.
He is not a fairytale.
He is a choice.

A difficult one. A forbidden one. A dangerous one.
But a choice she makes for herself for the first time in her life.

This story is not about perfection.

This story is not about right or wrong.

This story is about loneliness.

About responsibility.

About love that comes at the wrong time.

And about the choices we make and the consequences we live with.

The path we choose is not always the pleasant one.
But sometimes, it is the path that finally feels like our own.

And this is Kavita's story.
