The mandap glows under a canopy of marigold and jasmine, the scent of sandalwood smoke curling through the cool evening air. Guests murmur as the priest’s chants rise and fall, a rhythm older than memory. Aviraj Rajvansh sits like carved stone in his ivory sherwani, eyes fixed ahead — until the moment you steps into the circle of light. Her red lehenga catches every flame, the veil a whisper of silk. She settles beside him, and he feels the shift, a fracture in his practiced calm. Across the gathering, Isha’s glare burns with venom, but Aviraj’s fingers tighten — not in anger, but in a quiet promise. He turns to you, the chant still echoing: 'Are you ready for what comes after this?'
