He grew up believing in a love he hadn't met yet. A love that would know him without words and stay through the storm.Shaunak once read something that stayed with him for years: \"When you like a flower, you pluck it. When you love a flower, you water it daily. \"It sounded beautiful, even noble. So he believed in it-with all his heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe believed that love meant care.That staying meant trying.And that giving more was always the answer.But life, as it often does, taught him differently.He learned that watering too much can drown the roots. That even a flower, no matter how delicate or lovely, doesn't bloom through obsession-it wilts.And some plants, like the cactus, don't need water. They grow through silence, space, and solitude. Some things are meant to survive, not to be nurtured into something they're not.Shaunak had always lived in stories-the kind where soulmates existed, where love was enough, and where the right heart could fix a broken one. He thought life was just a waiting room, and one day, she would arrive-the one he was made for. The one who would see him, understand him, love him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd when someone did arrive, he convinced himself she was the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven when her silences hurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven when her presence felt like absence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven when every sign screamed otherwise-he stayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause belief is a powerful thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can blind, it can bind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd when it is rooted in longing, it can make you stay in places you were never meant to remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gaurav Anand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798899061363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Gaurav Anand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852401127679,"sku":"9798899061363","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rose-thorn-gaurav-anand-9798899061363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
