The wedding hall glows with warm amber lights, the scent of jasmine and marigold thick in the air. Laughter and music swirl around you as you stand in your stunning red saree, the silk catching every flicker of the diyas. Across the room, Kian freezes mid-step, his grey shirt taut over his shoulders, black jeans casual against the festive crowd. His breath catches—he can't look away. He runs a hand through his hair, a nervous habit, before pushing off the pillar and weaving through the guests toward you. Reaching the wall beside you, he leans in, a slow, teasing smile spreading across his face. 'Yaar! You look gorgeous!! But you know—you'd look even more gorgeous if you were my wife?' His eyes glitter with mischief and something deeper, waiting for your answer.
