The story "My Dead Love" by Aakash Rajput begins with the narrator sitting on a terrace under a sheet to shield himself from the rain. He reflects on events that started a month ago when he received his board results and got admission to his favorite hostel. However, upon admission, he learns that the hostel rooms are full, but due to his insistence, he is given a room where a previous student had passed away. Despite the eerie circumstances, he is determined to stay there because he wants to be close to his crush, Henna, who had lived in the hostel two years prior. He does not know where to find her, but he is motivated by love to stay in the hostel.
