Abhishek approached the old oak tree, his heart racing with anticipation. His grandfather emerged from the shadows, a stern expression on his face.
"Abhishek, you're making a grave mistake," he warned.
"Marrying Sophia will secure our family's future. Refuse, and you'll face the consequences."
Abhishek stood firm.
"I won't marry someone I don't love. I choose Shreya."
His grandfather sneered.
"You're blinded by infatuation. Shreya is not worthy of our family's name."
Suddenly, a figure stepped out of the darkness.
"That's not true," Shreya said, her voice steady.
"I love Abhishek, and he loves me. We deserve a chance at happiness."
Abhishek's grandfather scowled, but Abhishek felt a surge of pride and gratitude toward Shreya. Together, they faced his family's opposition, determined to forge their own path.
But, as they turned to leave, Abhishek's grandfather uttered a chilling warning:
"This isn't over. You'll pay for your defiance."
