INTEZAR - The Weight of Waiting
A love that defied fate. A silence that screamed for rescue.
She was once a vivacious, free-spirited girl-genuine, unfiltered, and full of dreams. Her laughter echoed like music, and her radiant smile could brighten even the darkest corners. But fate, cruel and unforgiving, stole that light from her.
Forced into a loveless, suffocating marriage with a man who saw her as nothing more than a possession, Vani Sharma now lives in the shadows of fear and despair. Her eyes no longer sparkle, and her voice-once so full of life-is now buried beneath silence.
Far away in London, Raghbir Singhania, her childhood sweetheart, holds onto the promise he made-to return and make her his forever. They had grown up together, laughed together, fallen in love through years of shared moments. But fate tore them apart before their forever could begin.
Now, separated by time, distance, and circumstance, Vani clings to memories and whispered prayers. She waits... for a sign, for hope, for him.
But will love be enough?
Will Raghbir find her before the darkness consumes her completely?
Or has fate already written a tragic ending?
INTEZAR - The Weight of Waiting is a haunting, heartfelt tale of soulmates separated by destiny, and the power of love that refuses to die-even when the world tries to bury it.
