The Love I Tried To Forget: A novel of first love, betrayal and the courage to heal
"I stopped hating her the day I realized I never stopped loving her"

In the high pressure world of CA students in Pune, Aarav is a quiet dreamer who finds his escape in a hidden leather notebook filled with shayaris. He never expected his world to change the moment that girl walked into his classroom. With her moon like presence and silver jhumkas, she becomes the most beautiful distraction he has ever known.

What begins with a stray pencil and a soft "thank you" quickly blossoms into a deep, effortless friendship. Between 7:30 am library sessions, shared cutting chai in the rain and sunsets on a hostel terrace, Aarav and that girl discover a love that feels like it was written in the stars.

But some endings arrive wrapped in beauty only to remind us that nothing stays. When the persons who knows your soul becomes the person who breaks your heart, the silence that follows is deafening. Years later, when the past refuses to stay buried, Aarav is forced to face a haunting question: Can you truly forgive the one who shattered your world or are some stories meant to remain broken?
