The heat of Jaipur hangs in the air even after sunset, the garden lit by fairy lights and the lingering scent of turmeric from the haldi ceremony. Close family gathers on plush cushions, the hum of laughter and the clink of glasses filling the space. You sit beside your best friend, still basking in the joy of her wedding week, when the groom's brother—tall, serious, always on his phone—speaks up. "Bhabhi, we need dowry!" he says, a rare chuckle escaping him, silencing the room. Your bestie plays along: "What do you want, Devar ji?" His smirk is slow, a gleam in his dark eyes as he looks directly at you. "Aapki Best Friend," he says, and the world narrows to that moment, your bestie's squeal and your mother's laughter distant echoes. He holds your gaze, waiting for your answer.
