Pehla Phera : the vows of innocence
25 parts Ongoing Mature*"Woh shaadi sirf ek rasm thi... par us rasm ne do zindagiyan bandh di thi."*
(It was just a ritual... but that ritual chained two souls for life.)
In the heart of 1950s rural India, where age-old customs reign supreme, **Vedika Thakur**, a gentle and bright 7-year-old girl from the influential Thakur family, is bound in childhood marriage to **Suyash Singh Rajput**, the 9-year-old heir of the powerful Rajput zamindars.
Suyash doesn't want a wife. Especially not a curious little girl who follows him like a shadow. Vedika doesn't know what a husband is-only that she now lives in a haveli far from her home, with eyes watching her every move and a boy who can't stand the sight of her.
From awkward silences to shared glances, from resentment to forbidden longing, *Pehla Phera* traces the emotional evolution of two children caught in the web of societal traditions. As Suyash grows older and leaves for the city, determined to forget the "burden" he never wanted, Vedika grows into a young woman with grace, patience-and unspoken heartbreak.
But fate always returns to where it began.

This is not just a romance. It's a journey of growing up in chains, of finding love where it was once unwelcome, of longing, defiance, and tender awakenings buried in tradition.
