Kusum who is 21 year old is about to marry Rajeev Thakur, a 30-year-old schoolmaster - a man of few words, sharp discipline, and silent grief.

He's known in the village as a man who keeps to himself, always seen either with books or lost in thoughts under the neem tree near the school. He's marrying kusum not out of love, but out of family pressure and a sense of duty.

Unlike most brides at that time, Kusum wasn't nervous or shy. Her heart fluttered not with fear, but with excitement.

She eager to begin her own love story, believes her marriage will bloom like the old love tales of her grandparents. Little does she know that the man she's marrying has locked away his heart, and she is stepping into a house that still holds the silent scent of another woman - the one who once wore the sindoor she now will.

Yes, you guys are correct.

Rajeev is a widower.

His first wife, Gulaab, whom he loved deeply and unconditionally, passed away due to some illness, leaving behind a void so deep that he buried his emotions with her pyre.

And yet, love has a way of blooming even in the most barren of places.

Will Kusum's warmth melt Rajeev's frozen heart?

Or will she become just another duty in his quiet, structured life?
