Three weeks had passed since Aditya's confession, and Bhavani found herself living two completely different lives. The first life unfolded in the physical world of Kozhiyampara village—waking before dawn to prepare Krishnan's breakfast, walking the dusty path to Lakshmi teacher's textile shop, measuring sari lengths and folding cotton dupattas while village women discussed their sons' marriages and their husbands' drinking habits. This life moved with the predictable rhythm of sunrise and sunset, rubber tapping and rice cooking, temple festivals and monsoon prayers.
But the second life—the real life, as she'd begun to think of it—existed in the small rectangle of her phone screen. This life was filled with poetry and possibilities, late-night conversations that stretched past midnight, and the intoxicating feeling of being truly seen by another human being.
My goal behind receiving fan support is not just financial — though of course that helps me continue writing without as much worry about practical limitations — but also emotional and creative. Writing can sometimes feel like a lonely pursuit, and fan support, whether it comes in the form of kind words, sharing my work, or even monetary contributions, tells me that what I create resonates with people. That support allows me to grow, to take risks in my writing, and to give more back to the community that believes in me. In simple terms: fan support keeps the cycle alive. I give my stories and my heart through words, and the encouragement I receive in return becomes the fuel that helps me keep going. Ultimately, my goal is not just to ‘receive,’ but to build a relationship. I want readers to feel that they are part of the journey — that when they support me, they aren’t just helping me write another chapter, they’re shaping the existence of the story itself.
