When Arpita was seven, she learned that love could be loud.
Not the soft kind.
Not the gentle kind.
The kind that shattered plates.
The kind that cracked doors.
The kind that made a little girl press her palms against her ears and whisper, “Stop… please stop…”
Her parents fought like war generals. Words were weapons. Silence was punishment. Apologies never lasted.
And one night, when the screaming grew too heavy for a seven-year-old heart…
Someone else answered.
He was nine.
He stood inside her mind like a shadow stepping forward from a broken mirror.
“My name is Xavier,” he said.
He wasn’t soft.
He wasn’t afraid.
He didn’t cry.
He watched.
And from that night on, Arpita was never alone again.
That's how Arpita met Xavier so let's read more about them to get a clear idea on their life...
