The next day, the reception arrived—a grand event meant to celebrate their union. Aleena, dressed in a stunning beige lehenga, looked every bit the graceful bride, while Ayaan, in his sharp tuxedo, exuded the charm and sophistication of a perfect groom. Together, they looked like a couple straight out of a romantic movie, embodying the ideal image of newlyweds that everyone admired.

But beneath the surface, the reality was far different. The smiles they wore were for the world, masking the truth of their situation. As they stood side by side, greeting guests and accepting congratulations, the distance between them was palpable, even if invisible to those around them.

The contrast between their outward appearance and their inner turmoil was stark. To everyone else, they seemed like the perfect match, but only they knew how far from the truth that image was. The reception was filled with laughter, joy, and celebration, yet both Ayaan and Aleena were painfully aware of the cold reality that awaited them once the night was over.

After the reception, Ayaan and Aleena returned home, continuing their separate lives within the same house—Ayaan on the couch and Aleena in the bed. The emotional distance between them remained as palpable as ever.

In the days that followed, Adeel, Ayaan’s younger brother, left for abroad to pursue his medical studies, adding another layer of change and transition to the family dynamics.

A few weeks later, Ayaan and Aleena prepared to move to Delhi. Ayaan’s head office was located there, and it was time for him to return to his professional responsibilities. The wedding of Ayaan’s cousin, which had been a part of the recent events, was now behind them. With Adeel gone and the family’s affairs settled for the moment, the couple needed to relocate to Delhi.
