SHANAYA'S POV :
The anticipation of the night buzzed through my veins as I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the deep blue gown that cascaded elegantly down my frame. It fit like a dream, accentuating every curve perfectly. Isha and I had spent the day indulging in shopping, gossiping like kids, and getting our nails done—something I hadn't realized I missed until today. The excitement in the air was infectious, and for the first time in a long time, I was genuinely looking forward to a party.
Thank you — for showing up, for caring, and for believing in stories like this. Ashes of Us is more than just a book to me. It’s a piece of my heart stitched together with emotions I’ve lived, dreams I’ve whispered, and wounds I’ve tried to heal through words. Writing this wasn’t easy — because falling in love with characters like Shanaya and Kabir meant opening parts of myself I hadn’t touched in a long time. But knowing that someone out there is reading their story, feeling what they feel, and holding space for their journey — that means the world to me. Every message, every share, every word of encouragement gives this story a heartbeat beyond the pages. I hope Ashes of Us makes you feel seen. I hope it reminds you that grief and love can co-exist. And most of all, i hope it stays with you - even after the final line. With all my love, Vrinda ❤
