Romesh was a voracious reader, his bookshelf overflowing with books of all genres.
He loved to lose himself in the worlds created by authors, and he often felt a deep connection with the characters he encountered.
One day, Romesh picked up a new novel called "The Wanderer."
It was a story about a young man named Elias who sets out on a journey to find his missing father.
The book was captivating from the beginning, and Romesh couldn't put it down.
As he read, he felt a growing empathy for Elias. He experienced the same fears, hopes, and dreams as the young protagonist.
He cheered for Elias's victories and mourned his losses.
The days turned into weeks, and Romesh was nearing the end of the book.
He found himself dreading the moment he would turn the last page.
He knew that once he finished, he would have to say goodbye to Elias and the world he had come to love.
Finally, the time came. With a mixture of excitement and sadness, Romesh turned the last page.
As he read the final words, a wave of emotion washed over him.
He felt a pang of loss, as if he had truly lost a friend.
Romesh closed the book and sat in silence for a long time.
He thought about Elias and the journey he had taken.
He realized that through reading, he had experienced a profound connection with another person, even though they were fictional.
From that day forward, Romesh always felt a little sad when he finished a good book.
But he also knew that the loss was a small price to pay for the joy and the companionship that reading had brought him.
