The Dilemma: A Story Of Love And Betrayal

※CHARACTER AESTHETIC※

✨ANANDITA MEHRA✨

Anandita Mehra is a 24 year old girl who always wanted to study after her graduation, but her family pressured her to stop because, as a girl, she was expected to get married and start a family. She is a happy and sweet pill, which her family doesn't realise. She loves only nature and finds solace in spending time outdoors.

             ✯✯✯✯

Family. Family is all about love and care. Most humans have the same answer, but for me, family is all about hate and exploitation. Where I spent my childhood is not a house; it's a cage. I spent my childhood with selfish strangers who only cared about their own desires and interests. Family, to me, is a constant source of disappointment and heartache.

I have never experienced the warmth and support that others feel with family. Instead, my upbringing was marked by neglect and emotional turmoil. From a young age, I learned to fend for myself and rely solely on my strength. As I have come to understand it, the concept of family is nothing more than an illusion, a figment of the imagination that offers false hope and empty promises.

"Without his love, I feel incomplete - like a half-written song with no melody."

✨KARTIKEYA OBEROI✨

Kartikeya Oberoi is a 33 year old businessman who wants his life to be suffocated by only darkness. He owns the well-known 'Oberoi Realty'. He is lively in business, but in personal life he avoids chaos and seeks darkness. He has a major anger issue and finds solace in the serene night. 

     ✯✯✯✯

A small incident can wield immense power to change people, and I stand as the living proof of this truth. Throughout my entire life, I've carried the weight of regret for a crime I never committed. It unfolded right before my innocent eyes when I was just a child—helpless, powerless, unable to intervene and halt the unfolding tragedy.

Life took a sharp turn after that fateful incident. The darkness of that childhood trauma became a hauntingly familiar companion, and the once-welcoming light transformed into an unexpected adversary. The echoes of that event reverberate through the corridors of my existence, shaping the person I am today.

"She came in the darkness like a ray of light, fighting the battles I thought I had to fight alone."

└───•••✩•••───┘

In a society where masculinity is synonymous with coldness and dominance, where privileges are bestowed upon men as if by default, Kartikeya stands as a quintessential example. Yet within the confines of his personal bubble, he grapples with his own inner demons and fears. Haunted by the ghosts of his past, he seeks solace in the shadows, unable to break free from the darkness that looms over him, threatening to engulf his every step. Opposite to him, is Anandita, a woman caged by the suffocating norms of society. Her life has been a relentless pursuit of conforming to expectations, and her dreams have long been sacrificed on the altar of convention.

Their paths cross in a world where destiny is often dictated by others. A contract marriage, arranged by their families, becomes the thread that weaves their lives together. Kartikeya, a man who fears connection, finds himself bound to Anandita, a woman who has never known true freedom.

As they embark on this unconventional journey, the sacred bond of marriage becomes the crucible where their hopes, fears, and desires clash. Will their union be the catalyst that ignites a transformation in both their lives, or will it lead to further entrapment?

The path they walk is fraught with uncertainties, and the choices they make will determine whether they find their way out of the darkness, or if it ultimately consumes them.

And so, in the midst of their turmoil, they take the plunge into the enigmatic world of an arranged contract marriage, not knowing whether it will be their salvation or their demise.
