A Daughter's Discovery of an Estranged Father

What does a father do when he is forced to become a stranger to his own child?For seventeen years Nirmiti lived with the certainty that her father Nirvan had abandoned her. He had walked away before she could even form a memory of him leaving her mother Pragya to raise her alone. His absence became a wound she had learned to live with—an unanswered question buried beneath her mother’s sacrifices beneath the quiet ache she never dared to voice.She had never needed him. Or so she thought.But when an unexpected message from Nirvan—her estranged father—appears on her phone it shatters the fragile certainty she has clung to for years. A lifetime of resentment wars with something she hates to admit. Curiosity.Why now?What could he possibly say?Did he ever regret leaving?Determined to confront him Nirmiti agrees to meet the man who had been a ghost in her life. But when she does she is faced with a reality far more complex than the black-and-white version of the past she had always believed in. Was her father the villain she had spent years hating or was there a story she had never been allowed to hear?As painful truths unravel Nirmiti is caught between two worlds—one built on her mother’s sacrifices and the other on the silent love of a father who never stopped hoping. But when Pragya her mother learns of their meeting her fury threatens to tear everything apart. Will Nirmiti be forced to choose between the two people who have shaped her life? Or is there a way to rebuild the bridges that time and pain have burned?But this story isn’t just about Nirmiti and Nirvan.It is the heartbeat of a father who writes because he cannot hold his own daughter. It is a deeply personal tribute from an author who much like Nirvan finds himself separated from his own daughter—not by choice but by laws that do not see a father’s grief.
