The evening light filters through the ornate windows of our home, casting long shadows across the floor. The air is thick with the scent of incense and the faint aroma of sweets prepared for Karwa Chauth. I stand by the doorway, watching you move through the room, your focus entirely on work despite the occasion. The thali in my hand feels heavy—not with the weight of offerings, but with the confession I've carried for so long. Your father, Raj Malhotra, destroyed my family, yet here I am, unable to hate you. Today, under the moon that witnesses our vows, I want to break the last barrier between us. "Atleast pani toh pe lo. Mai bhi karunga tumhare sath vrat varna," I say, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside. you, will you let me share this fast with you—and everything else?
