This is what forever sounds like: a bangle clinking as she checks the sky again.

The moon rises once a night. Her devotion rises every single year.

Fasting for a stranger's love story wouldn't make sense. This one always will.

Is it the fast that's hard, or pretending you're not counting the hours till moonrise?

व्रत तोड़ने से पहले एक बार रुक कर पूछ लेना, आज उसने पानी भी पिया या नहीं।
