The wind howled through the mountains, carrying with it the whispers of forgotten souls. The village lay nestled in the valley below, its stone buildings huddled together as though seeking warmth from the bitter cold. A bell tolled in the distance, its solemn chime echoing through the silence of the night. Shravya stood at the edge of the village, her hands trembling as she clutched the fabric of her cloak tighter around her shoulders. Her breath formed small clouds in the freezing air. This was to be her new home-a place she had never seen, a people she had never known. And at the center of it all, a husband who was little more than a stranger. She had been taught that marriage was a sacred bond. She had accepted her fate with quiet resignation, believing that, at the very least, she would be safe. But as she stepped forward, her eyes met his. The Village Leader. The village's leader stood among the people, his presence towering even among the tallest men. His robes billowed slightly in the wind, but his piercing gaze remained steady. A gaze that stripped her bare, as though he could see something inside her that no one else could. Something unholy. A shiver ran down her spine, and it had nothing to do with the cold. A shadow had already begun to fall over her, though she did not yet realize it. Not yet.

Tears threatened to spill out from my eyes as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. DEVASTATED and BETRAYED. Suddenly, the door of the room opened and slammed shut. I looked at his reflection from the mirror and wiped off my tears hurriedly before shoving the card inside one of the drawers, not wanting him to know about it. He came and hugged me from behind resting his chin on my shoulder. Reality dawned upon me and fear crawled up on each and every ounce of my skin. Sweat buds formed on my forehead and neck as I looked at him staring at me intensely from the mirror. His gaze was filled with desire. He turned me towards him by holding my waist gently and sealed our lips in a soft and gentle kiss. I closed my eyes trying to hold back my tears which were ready to spill out anytime feeling disgusted with his touch. At that moment of helplessness, all I was praying to God was 'please god let it be a dream where I'll wake up beside the love of my life, my Rann' but the saddest reality is it's not.
