Asmaara, her eyes swollen from recent tears, sat alone in a dimly lit room, trying to calm her racing heart. Their marriage, once a dreamy affair, had grown into a complex and shadowed reality.
Flashback:
She had been so in love, so utterly consume...
Asmaara woke up the next morning still dressed in her wedding outfit, her beautiful lehenga. When she moved her leg, her payal jingled, reminding her of what happened the day before. She had become Asmaara Vanshraj, married to a man who had threatened her on their very first night. She felt scared and sad, realizing that her life had taken a terrible turn.
Asmaara rose from the bed, her eyes searching the room for any sign of Armaan, but he was nowhere to be found. A sense of relief washed over her at his absence.
It was early, around 7 in the morning, and she knew that there were a few traditional rituals scheduled for the day. However, after what had happened the previous night, she couldn't help but be skeptical about whether they would actually take place or if they would be canceled like the last one.
Asmaara finished her business in the bathroom. She then made her way to the dressing room and draped herself in a beautiful red saree that was adorned with gorgeous red roses, unlike her marital life. She did not wear any necklace, just her mangalsutra dangling around her neck. She then proceeded to fill in her partition with a pinch of sindoor, and she was ready.

Asmaara descended the stairs to find the entire family gathered at the dining table. Armaan, his father, and Jashn were all seated, looking ready to head off to the office. Armaan appeared freshly showered, leaving Asmaara wondering when he had managed to sneak off for a shower without her noticing.

Armaan was engaged in a spirited discussion with his father.
"Beta, thode din chhutti le lo. Abhi toh shaadi hui hai tumhari. Aaj hi office jakar kya karoge?" his father suggested.
"Son, take a few days off. You've just been married. What's the rush to go to the office today?"
