The Borrowed Name of the Residency Gate

By Prashant Mishra

Vihaan Malhotra translates words for a living and has spent years translating silence into safety, until a rental agreement bearing his own handwriting and a stranger's name surfaces inside the corridors of a Pune medical college. What begins as a quiet search for an explanation spirals into a web of charity fraud, witness intimidation, and a colleague whose loyalty may be the most dangerous lie of all. Every document Vihaan deciphers pulls him closer to a truth that could destroy the wrongfully accused and the one person he must trust to survive. In a world where ambition and loyalty share the same borrowed name, one wrong translation could cost everything.
