Riyashree once walked away from the love of her life for a reason she never told him. Years later, she stood in an operation theatre, trying to save the woman he now called his wife. Preeti was smiling. Even while signing consent forms that listed death as a possibility. Even while carrying twins that her body was too weak to hold. Riya told her the truth. Preeti chose love anyway. Vicky never knew. He only knew that his wife went into labor... and never came back. At the funeral, he looked at Riya the way a man looks at the person who destroyed his world. And when Preeti's last wish forced them into a marriage neither wanted... he gave her five years. Five years to raise his daughters. Five years before she would be asked to leave. But love does not die just because it is denied. And some sacrifices... bleed longer than five years.
