We often hear about tragedies, but some leave a scar that haunts you for life. Even if they occur to individuals you have never encountered, the sheer brutality causes your heart to ache. These are the kind of tragedies you never forget. Usually, the focus is on the victim and their grieving family; we sympathise, mourn, and remember. But this author takes a different path. The author has written about the survivors, the friends of the victim whose silent suffering often goes unnoticed.

This is the story of five friends in their final year of medicine.

One day they plan to party and zoom away on their bikes… one carefree night, a party, and a ride on their bikes. But that night changes everything. What began as a moment of joy spirals into a tragedy that will haunt them forever, testing their strength, their friendship, and the very core of who they are.
They lose a friend to the darkest face of human brutality. Each of them carries the unbearable weight of guilt, blaming themselves for not being able to save her. But for Avinash, the pain is far deeper—he was there, forced to witness what those monsters did to the girl he loved. That night shattered him completely. Being alive, breathing the same air as her tormentors, felt less like survival and more like punishment.
