Rani Akash Pov:

Today is supposed to be a celebration. My sister's wedding was meant to be a joyous occasion, a new chapter for her. She's about to marry the man I think my father's friend son.... and I'm so happy for her.

The entire family is gathered, the smiles, the laughter, the excitement in the air. I went to other country to complete my studies and I'm finally getting a chance to catch up with my friend after long time. It feels so good to talk them freely, to laugh again, and to share what's been going on in our lives.

The weight of everything that's happened in the last couple of years family drama, expectations, disappointments. It seems a little lighter as I lose myself in the conversation.

when all of a sudden I feel a hand grab my arm. Hard. I freeze. The grip is too tight, the force too much.

I even shout at him, "who are you Mister? and What are you doing?, leave my hand, you are hurting me." Said to him but he is not listening and responding.

My heart pounding like crazy, I try to break free, but the man's grip only tightens. I don't even recognize him because he is showing his back only.

Where is everyone? Why is no one stepping in? I can't even think straight, my thoughts a blur, just trying to keep calm, to get away from him.

Finally, we reach a room. The door opens, and my eyes immediately take in the faces of my family, and bridegroom family members are standing there and They look tensed.

What happened to them? Why they look so tensed?.. I said in mumbling tone while looking down

Then suddenly i heard slapped sound. When i Held up my head and i saw my father, who's face turning red with fury. And His hands are shaking, but not from fear. It's from sheer raw anger.

Then he said "How dare you lay your hand my daughter "growl with cold tone.
