Responsibility.

Apprehensions.

Promise.

Nivya Sekhawat never wanted to be a burden, a mere responsibility tied to someone else's will. She dreamed of freedom-soaring under the open sky without chains of expectation. But dreams don't always align with reality. At the end of the day, she sat beside him as his bride-a role she was forced into and one he was conditioned to accept.

Caught in a union neither of them chose, their worlds collide in a tangle of duty, defiance, and unspoken desires. With everything stacked against them-tradition, family, and their own guarded hearts-can they overcome the weight of expectation to discover the love they never knew they needed?
