Some men are built with silence. But even silence can break open.
Ravi isn’t heartless. He’s just... programmed. His days are built from precision: 5:32 AM alarms, unsweetened coffee, and the comforting monotony of code. Emotions are distractions. Love? A language he once tried and failed to speak.
But when a woman with a yellow umbrella walks into his life — humming to the rhythm of rain, carrying storms and softness in equal measure — something shifts. Not all at once. But enough.
Ira doesn't demand change. She doesn't fix him. She simply sees him. And for the first time, Ravi starts to wonder: What if being real is more important than being perfect?
"The Rust in My Heart" is a poetic, slow-burn emotional novel about vulnerability, healing, and the quiet revolutions that happen when we dare to let someone in. If you’ve ever felt like you were too broken to love — or be loved — this story is your mirror.
