In the rustic villages of Rajasthan, where ancient customs weave the fabric of daily life, Taehyung's story unfolds-a tale of courage, love, and the power to defy destiny.
At seventeen, she was thrust into an arranged marriage with Jungkook, a stric...
The sky was still dark, the world outside wrapped in the last traces of sleep, but inside the Jeon residence, the morning had already begun.
Tae, dressed in a fresh pink colour lehenga, stepped out of the bedroom after pecking Junghyun's cheek. The soft glow of the oil lamps flickered against the walls as she made her way towards the living area.
Jasoda Kaki was already awake, sweeping the floor with firm strokes. Tae greeted her with a smile.
Tae- Kaki, you're always the first one up.
Jasoda Kaki chuckled, adjusting her dupatta.
Jasoda- Someone has to keep this house running, Sethani. You're up early today too.
Tae nodded and stepped into the garden, where the cool morning breeze carried the faint scent of jasmine. Raghu Kaka was already there, carefully plucking fresh flowers. As soon as he saw Tae, his face lit up.
Raghu- Ah, Sethani, good morning!
He handed her the basket, filled with delicate marigolds and roses.
Tae took it with a grateful smile.
Tae- Thank you, Kaka. These are beautiful.
With her basket in hand, she walked back inside and made her way to the pooja room. The room was peaceful, bathed in the golden glow of the lamp. Settling on the mat,
Tae picked up the small Shivling from the temple, placing it gently on the thali. She poured water and milk over it, whispering her morning prayers as she wiped it carefully before setting it back.
The deepam flickered as she lit it, and the sweet fragrance of incense filled the room. She closed her eyes, chanting her mantras in a soft, rhythmic melody.
A few minutes later, a soft giggle broke the silence.
"Tae didi!"
Tae opened her eyes to see Sumi standing in the doorway, holding a freshly bathed Mani in her arms. The little girl's face was still damp, her curls bouncing as she squirmed excitedly.

Sumi- Mani, sit down properly. (she scolded lightly, but Mani had already wiggled free and rushed to Tae)
Tae chuckled, picking up a small plate of kumkum. She placed a soft tikka on Mani's forehead.
Mani clapped her hands.
Mani- Me look so pretty now?
Tae smiled.
Tae- You always look pretty, but now you look even more divine.
Just then, heavy footsteps echoed from the corridor.
Tae turned to see Jung-guk, Jungkook, and Hyunnie standing at a distance.
Jung-guk stood with his arms folded, yawning loudly.
