Navya Srivastava X Rajveer Agnihotri
The contract was signed in a room that smelled of antiseptic and fear. Navya agreed without reading the fine print, because the only words that mattered to her were treatment approved and time extended.
Her father-her only family, lay beyond the glass walls of the hospital room, his body weakened by leukemia but his eyes still full of concern for her future. She smiled for him, hiding the truth that she was trading her own freedom for his life.
Rajveer's consent came in a far more polished setting, sealed with calm nods and measured silence. His parents called it an alliance-secure, sensible and inevitable. Love had never been part of the conversation. He understood duty well enough to accept a marriage that felt more like an obligation than a new beginning.
They met at the mandap as strangers bound by circumstances neither could defy. Navya stood fragile yet composed, grief and courage woven into her stillness. Rajveer noticed the quiet strength in her eyes, the way she endured without complaint. When the rituals tied them together, his touch was careful, respectful-an unspoken promise of distance, not devotion.
That night, amid fading celebrations, two lives collided in reluctant union. Navya carried the weight of sacrifice; Rajveer carried the burden of expectation. Between them lay silence, uncertainty and a future neither had imagined.
They did not know back then that this marriage, born of necessity and pain would slowly become something gentler. That compassion would replace distance. That love would find its way into a bond never meant to hold it. Their story began not with choice-but with a compulsion forged by the threads of fate.
