After Ishaan, his best friend, broke his trust, Azhar felt that he had lost it all. Depression and loneliness led him to social media where he met the beautiful Zahra.

What do you think happened when Azhar discovered that secret? Will that answer help Ishaan find him or will it be too late?

Through the fallen light, I could see those hands placed on the arms of the chair, two gruesome wrinkled limbs with ugly boils plastered over the black skin. The red bangles on its wrists shone in my eyes, momentarily blinding me. That thing and I call it a thing because I could sense it wasn’t human as no human could have such a hideous form, as vile an existence as the one seated opposite to my horrified self.”

More Than Just Friends
After her brother’s death, Preeti moves to Mumbai. She gives in to sorrow, deciding to end it all. But her doorbell interrupts.
An Excerpt
In the room with the pale blue walls, the woman mumbles incoherently under her breath, feverishly turning the pages of a bulky photo album that rests on her lap. Her eyes are swollen; her demeanour like a beast that has finally broken free from its shackles after spending a lifetime in captivity.
She pushes her handbag away, its contents spilling all over the bed – a kohl stick, a pack of tissues, a toffee, some loose change and a dozen visiting cards with ‘Preeti Thaker, IT Manager, Obsoft’ printed on them. She doesn’t bother putting them back. The album nestled on her lap, legs stretched out in front of her and back slouched over, Preeti sways back and forth examining each photograph. She gingerly traces the figures in them, the veins in her hands gleaming like raging tributaries.

An Excerpt
मुरझाये से नीले रंग की दीवारों वाले कमरे में बैठी एक महिला रुक-रुककर कुछ बड़बड़ाते हुए, अपनी गोद में रखी भारी सी एल्बम के पन्ने पलट रही थी. उसकी आंखें सूजी हुई थीं; उसकी हालत पिंजरे से छूटे जानवर सी थी, जो पूरी ज़िन्दगी बेड़ियों में रहने के बाद आज़ाद हुआ हो.
परे पटके हुए हैंडबैग का सारा सामान बैड पर छितरा हुआ था—एक काजल की स्टिक, टिश्यू का पैकेट, एक टॉफी, कुछ सिक्के और दर्जन भर विज़्टिंग कार्ड, जिन पर लिखा था ‘प्रीति ठक्कर, आईटी मैनेजर, ओब्सोफ्ट’. उसे सामान समेटने की परवाह नहीं थी. उसने बस गोद में एल्बम सहेज रखी थी, पैर सामने की ओर फैलाए हुए, और कमर पीछे की तरफ निकली हुई, फोटो देखते हुए प्रीति हिलते हुए आगे-पीछे हो रही थी. एहतियात से उसकी उंगलियां तस्वीरों पर घूम रही थीं, हाथ की नसें उफनती नदी की तरह चमक रही थी.
