Synopsis:
“When you travel, you don’t fear the unknown. You become a part of it.
You don’t meet a million people. You meet yourself, in million forms.” She had once said.
I had fallen for a gypsy heart.
We were complete opposites. She was a secret traveler, I was a dreamer.
She was filled with experiences, I was filled with stories.
Though we lived across the street, we spoke to each other after 14 long years of awkward silence. Everything had changed. She was a well-kept secret. Everything about her was a missing piece of beautiful puzzle she had turned into. But the Universe had other things to offer before I could bring all the pieces together. After all that only one question remained, WHERE IS RHEA?

The author uses Gautham’s point of view to narrate the story. His writing style is effortless and uses a simple language. The plot is crisp with no drama, but packed with suspense. The fun moments between Gautham and his friends are easy-breezy. How Rhea reconciles suddenly with Gautham owes to her mysterious character?!
