I hit the 1k comment mark on 13th September, 2024 and Arav's birthday is in September, did anyone connect the dots yet? Alright, I'll not spoil it further for you XD

The 1000th comment was made by lostlovefairy so thank you so much for reading and commenting!

I'd also like to thank all my silent readers, commentators and just about everyone for giving this book a chance.. or a second chance XD

special mentions: Ablazeisaleo GraveyardSiren lostlovefairy and Aster_Rae27 OnceUponALily thank you for helping me reach this milestone 🫶

For the celebration, I've got a couple of things, along with some fan arts I got recently, so yay let's get to it <3

1. The main cast: Karan Patel, Jayant Joshi and Arav Shah

the images were generated by the help of Gencraft, the AI-art generator, therefore i do not owe them, credits to the respective artists whose style may have been used in this.

4. Fan Art cover by lostlovefairy who's a dedicated reader and an amazing friend 💗

I can imagine this being a cover for the e-book version. this is so pretty and so fitting too <3

Thank you for being on this journey with me. Even outside of Wattys, I hope to post chapters on a weekly basis and finish this work because I have grown so much with the characters and the stories, it has taken it's own life.

Word Count for this story so far: 60k (approx.)

For a story that was supposedly ending at the trio's reunion, the story led me to write about so many themes - guilt, hope, redemption, justice, morality and human psyche. I didn't think I'd be here without you all, and I truly wish we continue on this journey, together. ❤️✨

I truly cannot thank each and everyone of you enough, it's so wholesome and nostalgic to reach here.

This work has the highest comments after my work, Dead Laughing (which had the record of 5k+ comments and would be republished after I finish this work ;))

Sending much love to each and every one of you, wuvvles 💖🫂
Saramitra ❤️
