Description
Some love stories are never spoken—
they only breathe in the scent of ashes.
She was Nanda—daughter of royalty, heir to the throne,
yet a rebel at heart.
And he was Ved—the silent ascetic of the cremation ground,
a witness to lives turning to fire every single day.
From the palace rooftop, the cremation ghat was visible.
And every day, Nanda’s eyes would drift there—
to the place where everything ends,
and where something unspoken had begun.
Nanda never spoke to Ved—
not with words, not with letters.
But her gaze…
it was poetry of a love wrapped in silence.
Funeral pyres burned in the cremation ground,
and behind those flames—
a glance met another,
a breath paused,
a heartbeat trembled softly.
Nanda found herself drawn to the simplicity
cloaked in Ved’s ashes.
And Ved…
read in her eyes a quiet truth
that no scripture could ever contain.
This love was different.
There were no royal declarations.
No exchanged letters.
It was a love written in ashes,
sown in stillness,
and read through glances.
Will this silent bond ever find a name?
Or will it dissolve into the same fires
among which it was born?
This is only the beginning…
Many nights still remain,
where love stands silently,
draped in ash.
