[Dr. Appu Sasidharan (Dasfill) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the story of two pure souls who love each other.

But life had other plans for them. The vagaries of life separated them; they never met each other and went on different paths. Were they actually in love, or were they just close friends? The author tries to explore this topic.

“Over time, I accepted your absence, but with the hope to see you someday”

They again meet during a funeral ceremony after a few years. What will happen to them? Will they live together or will the silence again exist between them, and they go through separate paths? This is a simple story told in a simple manner that will be a decent choice for you to read.

A better love story. Two-way addressing of love about unsaid love between the two. Both their emotions and feelings they have for each other expressed in the story beautifully. The story narrated in a manner addressing each others' feelings to them through their silence. Silence is the convict which ruined their lives. Don't read it if you failed to express your love to the loved ones, OTHERWISE, YOU WILL HEARTBROKEN.

It was a pretty good read. I hope to read more of Nikita's works because honestly this was just some 41 minutes long story and I'm not going to 'judge' an author based on just this one story... hehe. What I liked about the book was that first the boy presented his perspective and then the author introduced the girl's version of the same story, along with some filling of the blanks.

Such a beutiful story which will impact your forever .The author has cleared the significance of the word 'silence ' as title . Apart from all this character are well gripping and language is lucid though .

Same story from two different perspectives. Well, there's nothing so unusual about the story. A usual happening with the 21st-century people is what captured in this book.
