A Love That I Never Have

Shivangi was only eight years old when she was told that one day she would marry Shivansh Singh Rajawat. Their fathers had made a promise years ago, binding their families together long before the two even understood the meaning of marriage. While Shivangi grew up believing in that promise with innocent devotion, Shivansh hated everything about it - the expectations, the clinginess, and especially the idea of someone forcing love into his life.

As years passed, Shivangi kept trying to win his attention, but Shivansh remained cold and distant. By the time she turned twenty-one, she finally accepted the painful truth: he would never love her. So, she stopped chasing him. She agreed to marry him only to fulfill the promise between their fathers, nothing more.

The cheerful girl who once followed him everywhere became quiet, composed, and emotionally distant.
But after marriage, when Shivangi no longer looked at him with affection or waited for his attention, Shivansh began to feel something unexpected. The silence he once wanted started bothering him. Her indifference hurt more than her love ever did. Slowly, he realized that somewhere between pushing her away and losing her attention, he had fallen for the one person he thought he would never need.
