Dil Ki Bandagi (The Bondage of the Heart) by SiaSage55

In 1950s India, where tradition binds and women are taught to obey without question, 18-year-old Aarti is thrust into an arranged marriage with Raghav, a stoic 35-year-old man and the son of the powerful village head. Raised in the shadows of rigid customs, Aarti's illiteracy and innocence are seen as her greatest flaws, while Raghav carries the weight of family legacy and the scars of a past tragedy. To him, this marriage is nothing more than a formality-something he must endure to uphold his family's name. Aarti, desperate to break free from the confines of her small world, silently yearns to learn, to grow beyond the walls built around her. But her husband remains a distant figure, indifferent to her desires and numb from grief. His coldness is his armor, and she is nothing more than a pawn in a game of reputation. As their marriage forces them into a delicate dance of duty and sacrifice, Aarti begins to challenge the boundaries of her own fate. Can she find the strength to speak her truth in a world that tells her to remain silent? And will Raghav, a man scarred by loss, ever allow himself to love again, or will he let his duty consume them both? In this poignant tale of forbidden love, sacrifice, and the quiet rebellion of the heart, Aarti and Raghav must navigate a world where their hearts-and their destinies-are forever entwined.
