✍ Author’s Note

From Vikas Patwari

Dear Reader,

First of all, thank you for picking up this book. As a writer, this story came to me not just as a plot — but as a powerful question:
What if someone you lost forever, suddenly came back… but not fully human?

This is a tale that blends the supernatural with deep emotion, inspired by real stories of grief, lost connections, and the strange spiritual beliefs that still survive in our Indian culture.

My aim was to write a story that feels like a late-night text, a shiver down the spine, and a heartbreak all at once. If this story made your heart race, skip a beat, or tear up — then it has done its job.

Stay until the last page. The ending will leave you questioning everything.
And maybe… just maybe… you’ll check your WhatsApp a little differently tonight.

With gratitude and chills,
– Vikas Patwari
