Amal and Ayaan, cousins born into a close-knit Indian Muslim family, grew up side by side - sharing childhood games, Eid dinners, and long silences heavy with unsaid words. Amal is a soft-spoken preschool teacher with a sharp mind and a heart that quietly aches. Ayaan is introverted, dutiful, and deeply respectful - a man of few words, unless he's with family... or her. Neither of them expected the sudden proposal. Neither of them protested it. As their nikah is arranged with barely a month's notice, the two are thrust into a marriage that everyone else sees as practical - a safe choice, a natural next step. But behind their composed smiles are years of longing, heartbreak, and questions they're too shy to ask aloud. What happens when two people who've always loved each other - in silence - are finally bound in a relationship meant for love, but built on family expectations? And will they ever find the courage to speak the truth that's lived between them for so long?

This is a battle, I face, occasionally. It happens to everyone, but we tend to overlook It, giving darkness a chance to overshadow us. Combat that toxic feeling!
