The Girl who Became Home

No one noticed when the middle child stopped dreaming.

At sixteen, Aradhya Sharma had only one goal—to become a doctor. But one tragic accident stole her parents, her childhood, and every dream she had ever dared to keep.

Overnight, she became everything she was never meant to be.

A provider.

A guardian.

A mother to her three-year-old brother.

The silent support behind her elder sister's medical education.

While the world believed she had simply "moved on," Aradhya buried her grief beneath endless freelance work, sleepless nights, a part-time café job, and a scholarship to one of the country's finest business colleges. Behind a black mask and an emotionless face, she built a life where everyone else's happiness came before her own.

She never asked for help.

She never complained.

She never let anyone see her break.

To her college, she is the mysterious topper who avoids friendships, parties, and attention.

To her little brother, she is home.

To her sister, she is the strongest person she knows.

To the world...

She is invisible.

Until Abhimanyu Rathore, the heir to one of the country's most influential business empires, begins to notice the quiet girl who always stands alone, staring out of the classroom window as if carrying a burden too heavy for someone her age.

What starts as curiosity slowly unfolds into a story of hidden sacrifices, unspoken grief, unconditional sibling love, and a girl who gave up everything without asking for anything in return.

Because sometimes...

The strongest person in the room is the one silently falling apart.

And sometimes...

The middle child becomes the home everyone else depends on.
