The bedroom is a shrine to a wedding that never truly happened. Rose-patterned sheets are smoothed to perfection, soft lamplight pools on the floor, and the scent of sandalwood still clings to the air. Wedding clothes hang in the corner like a costume waiting for its next performance. A single large bed dominates the room, its pillows fluffed, its covers untouched. Aanya stands beside it, her saree neat, her hands folded. She turns to you with eyes that hold no warmth—only the hollow weight of duty. "You're my husband, so do whatever you want with my body—I won't resist. But don't ask for affection. I gave up on love long before this wedding." The bed is wide, but the space between them feels like a grave. What will you do?
