*Anticipation*

Tashvi Khanna stood before the mirror in her room, adorned in a resplendent crimson lehenga, its intricate golden embroidery shimmering under the soft light. Her reflection seemed to hold a myriad of emotions-excitement tinged with apprehension, anticipation laced with uncertainty. Today was meant to mark the beginning of a new chapter in her life, but the weight of tradition and familial expectations hung heavy on her heart.

Her parents, alive and supportive, were her pillars of strength. Their absence from the room on this momentous day left a void that no amount of festivity could fill. She glanced at their photograph on the dresser, offering a silent prayer for their blessings and guidance. "I hope I'm making you proud," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the rustle of her attire.

A knock on the door broke her reverie, and Kiara Saxena, her effervescent best friend, breezed into the room with a contagious smile that faltered at the sight of Tashvi's solemn expression. "Hey, Tashvi," Kiara greeted softly, concern knitting her brows as she approached.

Tashvi managed a small smile, touched by Kiara's unwavering support amidst the emotional turmoil. "Hi, Kiara," she replied, her voice tinged with nerves.

"You look stunning," Kiara complimented sincerely, though her eyes searched Tashvi's face with worry.

"Thank you," Tashvi murmured, her gaze returning to the mirror, her thoughts drifting.

Kiara stepped closer, her hand gently squeezing Tashvi's arm. "Are you okay?" she asked gently, her voice filled with empathy.

Tashvi sighed, her gaze drifting to her hands clasped in front of her. "I... I don't know," she confessed quietly. "This marriage... it's not what I envisioned."

Kiara nodded understandingly, her own concerns mirrored in her expression. "You know you have a choice, right?" she ventured cautiously, mindful of the familial expectations that weighed heavily on Tashvi.

Tashvi's shoulders tensed imperceptibly, her mind wrestling with duty versus desire. "It's complicated," she admitted softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "There are so many expectations..."

"But your happiness matters, Tashvi," Kiara insisted firmly, her gaze unwavering. "Don't forget that."

Tashvi managed a weak smile, her heart warmed by Kiara's steadfast support. "Thank you, Kiara," she murmured sincerely, a sense of resolve settling within her.

Before Kiara could respond, a knock sounded on the door once more. Ekagr Khanna, Tashvi's protective older brother, entered with a reassuring smile. "Hey, Tash," he greeted warmly, his eyes gentle yet concerned as they settled on his sister.

Tashvi's smile brightened at the sight of Ekagr, her worries momentarily eased by his familiar presence. "Hey, Ekagr bhai," she greeted affectionately, her voice steadier in his comforting embrace.

"You ready?" Ekagr asked gently, stepping closer to Tashvi and placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Tashvi glanced at Ekagr, her gratitude shining in her eyes. "As ready as I'll ever be," she replied with a small smile, her nerves still palpable but tempered by her brother's unwavering support.

Ekagr nodded knowingly, understanding the weight of their family's expectations. "You've got this, Tash," he assured her, his voice filled with quiet confidence.

As Tashvi prepared to leave for the venue, she felt a mixture of apprehension and determination. The path ahead was uncertain, but surrounded by the love and support of her friends and family, she knew she would find the strength to face whatever lay ahead.

Meanwhile, Aayan Rajvansh paced restlessly in his study, his mind consumed by thoughts that refused to settle. He stood by the window, gazing out at the moonlit garden, its tranquility at odds with the turmoil in his heart.

He had spoken with Vedant earlier, his best friend and confidant, about his misgivings regarding the impending marriage. "I don't know if I can go through with this," he had admitted, his voice strained with conflict. "It feels... wrong."

Vedant had listened, his expression grave yet understanding. "But Aayan, your family..." he had begun, knowing well the weight of familial expectations that bore down on his friend.

Aayan clenched his fists, frustration simmering beneath the surface. "I know," he had replied curtly, his tone harsher than intended. "But what about me? What about my happiness?"

Now, as he stared into the night, Aayan's thoughts drifted to Tashvi-his soon-to-be wife by circumstance rather than choice. He recalled their brief interactions, her quiet demeanor contrasting sharply with his own guarded aloofness.

"I should call this off," he muttered to himself, his heart heavy with uncertainty. But as he glanced at the family portrait on his desk-the smiling faces of his parents and the proud gaze of his grandfather-doubt gnawed at his resolve.

A sense of duty warred with his desire for autonomy, leaving Aayan torn between familial obligation and the longing for a connection that felt genuine. He knew the decision he made tonight would shape not only his future but also Tashvi's.

With a heavy sigh, Aayan turned away from the window, his expression hardened by the weight of his choices. The path ahead seemed shrouded in veiled uncertainties, and he knew that whatever lay ahead, it would demand more than mere acquiescence-it would require him to find a way to reconcile duty with the yearning for authenticity.

Despite his inner turmoil, Aayan knew he couldn't simply walk away. His family's expectations weighed heavily on him, and a sense of fairness tugged at his conscience. He resolved to play his part, to honor the commitment made on his behalf, even as doubts clouded his mind.

Getting ready for the evening, Aayan dressed meticulously, each gesture a silent testament to the conflicting emotions churning within him. As he adjusted his attire, a surge of disagreement surged through him once more,.
