For months, Siya loved him silently from afar. She never expected him to notice her. Never hoped for a place in his life. She only wished to catch a glimpse of him every day. Until fate tied their lives together in a way neither of them had imagined. The wedding happened. The vows were taken. But love never arrived. That night, Siya sat alone on the edge of the massive bed, the weight of her bridal lehenga no longer heavier than the silence surrounding her. She waited. Minute after minute. But he never came. Instead... His words echoed in her mind. "You knew from the start." "Whatever I felt was nothing but attraction." "I hate this." "Don't show me your face right now." And in that moment... Being his wife no longer felt like a dream. It felt like heartbreak wearing sindoor. Maybe... Some stories aren't about falling in love. Maybe they're about learning how to fall... softly.
