Somewhere between losing everything and learning to breathe again, Anaaya stepped into a city that wasn’t hers—carrying a heart that no longer felt like her own. In the quiet aftermath of heartbreak, she finds herself in unfamiliar streets, haunted by absence and unsure of how to begin again. But then come the metro rides, near-silent glances, late-night conversations, and a boy with kind eyes who starts to appear like a thread through the stillness. This is a story of almosts and maybes, of love written in pauses. Of memories folded into small, magical moments—an unfinished sentence, the weight of a bag, the warmth of a gaze. And above all, it is a story of returning—not just to love, but to the girl who had always been waiting to be seen. Told in soft, poetic prose, Before I Walk Back Home is a tender exploration of heartbreak, healing, and the quiet ways the universe pulls people together. For anyone who’s ever loved, waited, hoped, or walked away—this is for you.
