What if the first friend you ever made was the one your heart kept waiting for—across time, silence, and distance?

“In the Silence, We Loved” is a heart-tugging coming-of-age romance that begins with crayons and paper crowns—and grows into a story of separation, longing, misunderstandings, and love that never really left.

From the sandbox kingdoms of kindergarten to late-night texts and quiet breakdowns in high school, Siddharth and Sneha share a bond that survives years of silence and countless “almosts.” Their story unfolds through stolen glances, old bracelets, geography tuitions, Teacher's Day quizzes, and confessions whispered under the stars.
But when life throws in guilt, jealousy, mental health battles, and a final goodbye, will love be enough to hold them together?

Written with poetic tenderness and cinematic beauty, this novel by Ramij Raja Sheikh captures:

Childhood friendship that feels like fate

The pain of growing up and growing apart

The invisible scars of love left unsaid

And the kind of heartbreak that doesn’t scream—it lingers in silence

For fans of “Your Name”, “A Silent Voice” or desi heartbreak tales that blend nostalgia with reality.
This is not just a story. It’s a memory that never left.
