There Was No Face Behind the Veil. Ghoonghat Mein Chehra Nahin Tha In the dusty courtyards of rural Rajasthan, newlywed Lajjo dreams of love the way she's heard it in folk songs, full of shy glances, late-night whispers, and the warmth of shared laughter. But her husband, Veer, speaks little, eats in silence, and leaves before sunrise. Her patience stretches like the desert horizon, but the days remain empty and the nights colder still. When she discovers the truth, that she was never his choice, only his duty - Lajjo begins to wear her ghoonghat even when alone. Not for modesty, but to disappear. A slow, lyrical tale of longing, invisibility, and dignity "Ghoonghat Mein Chehra Nahin Tha" is a story that lingers like a song in the desert wind. ========= Rankings🎖️ 👇🏻 #1 in Traditional love (11-8-25)🥇 #6 in Silent love (13-8-25)🏅 #1 in Folktale (15 -8 -25)🥇 #1 in emotional read ( 20-8-25)🥇 #3 in poetic prose ( 24-8-25) 🥉 #1 in tearjerker (18-9-25)🥇

3 brothers, 3 women and 3 stories The vicious love of royals is a combination of 1 family and 3 vicious romances 1. THE VICIOUS BET Daharthya Rajput, the Maharaja Sahab, ruler of Vardhgarh, the holder of immense power. This was his identity, one that everyone know of, but was it all a man of no manner had to offer? He was a bad man, no privation. A ludicrous person no repudiation. But what if even a bad man got themself a love story? A love story with another, bad woman. Ahilya Rajadi belonged to a renowned family in Gujrat. Did she know that her one statement and her attitude to Raja Sahab of Vardhgarh, Rajasthan have a consequence so treacherous? Did she know that she will win over a bet in a chess game? 2. THE VICIOUS RESCUE The man has the eyes of a devil. This is what a woman said when they met their gaze with bade hukum of Vardhgarh. They called him dangerous just because he looked like one. But are words truly justification for someone's real self? Ekvarthya might be a man with devil's eyes, but he was also a man with lord's heart. And when the eyes of the devil and the heart of the lord find a girl suffering under an epicure man. Will he save her like a deity or tear the world apart like a demon? Jinitya suffered and never complained, and prayed for faith but her questions were asked by the Satan of hell rather the god of heaven. 3. THE VICIOUS DEALER Samaira was promised to his brother, destined to be married to Daharthya, she was out of reach, the person he was never supposed to see, at least not with the eyes of what he first saw her. It was all boundaries, one that should never cross. But luck is always in favour of a man who deserves it. And Jasvanthya did. The chote hukum of Vardhgarh was affected by dreams of a girl he knew he could never have, but now she was there in his bed. Next to him. As his wife. And yet he can't touch her. Not look at her. How come being next to her, she is still unreachable as she was ever?
