The Living Room of Aarohi's House(The atmosphere is tense. Aarohi is sitting on the couch, her face pale and her eyes wide with disbelief. Chacha and Chachi stand in front of her, stern expressions on their faces. A marriage proposal is on the table, but Aarohi feels trapped.)
Chachi: (coldly) "Aarohi, you don't have a choice in this matter. You think we can keep sheltering you forever? Look at yourself. No parents, no money, no future prospects. Rudraksh's family is doing us a favor by even considering you!"Aarohi: (tearfully) "Chachi, please... how can you ask me to marry a man I don't even know? Isn't this my life?"Chacha: (with a sigh) "Enough, Aarohi. Don't be...Chacha: (with a sigh) "Enough, Aarohi. Don't be selfish. You think you can survive on your own? Rudraaksh is a good man. His father, Mr. Rajput, is highly respected. This marriage is your only chance at a stable future."Aarohi: (shaking her head) "But what about love? What about my dreams? How can you just sell me off like this?"Chachi: (snapping) "Dreams? Love? Do you even know what you're talking about? Your parents' accident left us with the burden of raising you. It's time you start thinking about us for a change."(Aarohi falls silent, her heart aching from their harsh words. She knows her Chachi's bitterness stems from years of resentment, but this feels like a betrayal.)(Rudraaksh, a tall and brooding figure, stands by the window, looking out at the horizon. His father, Mr. Rajput, enters the room.)Mr. Rajput: (calmly) "Rudraaksh, I know this isn't easy for you. But this marriage is important for our family. After your mother's passing, it's been my dream to see you settled."Rudraaksh: (clenching his fists) "And what about what I want, Dad? This isn't about me. This is about you trying to fill the void Mom left behind."Mr. Rajput: (with a sigh) "It's not just about me. Aarohi is a good girl, and she's suffered enough. Her family is struggling, and we can give her a good life. I'm asking you to do this for the sake of our family."Rudraaksh: (reluctantly) "I'll marry her, but don't expect me to fall in love or play the perfect husband. I'm doing this for you, and only for you."(His father places a reassuring hand on his shoulder, but Rudraaksh's jaw remains tense. He feels the weight of duty pressing down on him.)---(Aarohi sits by her window, staring at the moon. Silent tears streak her face as she hugs a picture of her late parents.)Aarohi: (to herself) "Mom, Dad... what would you have done? They're right-I'm just a burden to them. Maybe this is the only way out."(She places the picture back on the table and wipes her tears, her expression hardening with resolve.)Actually ,BAAT Aishi hai kii edit karne k cchakar mein chapter delete hogaya aaur abhi mere exam saar tandav kar rahe hai thank myself inkitt pe upload kar rakha thaa plzz issh se kaam chaloa jaise mujhe time milegaa mein phirse likh dungi.Rudraaksh: (reluctantly) "I'll marry her, but don't expect me to fall in love or play the perfect husband. I'm doing this for you, and only for you."(His father places a reassuring hand on his shoulder, but Rudraaksh's jaw remains tense. He feels the weight of duty pressing down on him.)
(Aarohi sits by her window, staring at the moon. Silent tears streak her face as she hugs a picture of her late parents.)Aarohi: (to herself) "Mom, Dad... what would you have done? They're right-I'm just a burden to them. Maybe this is the only way out."(She places the picture back on the table and wipes her tears, her expression hardening with resolve.)
Aarohi: "If this is my fate, I'll accept it. But I won't let anyone break me."---(The hall is lavishly decorated, but the tension in the air is thick. Aarohi, in a stunning red bridal lehenga, sits stiffly on the mandap, trying to hide the turmoil in her heart. Her eyes are focused on the floor, unable to meet anyone's gaze. Rudraaksh, in his cream and gold sherwani, enters, his face neutral, his eyes not betraying any emotion. Chachi, Chacha, and their daughter Tina stand in the background, their expressions filled with contempt as they watch Aarohi, as though she's a burden finally being handed off.)Chachi: (whispering sharply to Chacha) "Look at her, sitting there like she's the queen of the world. This is all for the Rajputs, not her. We're stuck with her because of her parents' foolishness."Chacha: (nodding reluctantly) "I never wanted this. But what else could we do? She's been a burden since the accident."Tina: (rolling her eyes, speaking loudly enough for Aarohi to hear) "I can't believe she's getting married into the Rajput family. She doesn't even deserve it. What does she bring to the table? Nothing but trouble."(Aarohi's heart sinks at Tina's words, but she doesn't react. She's learned to endure the cruelty from Chachi, Chacha, and Tina over the years.)(When all goes out, Tara enters Aarohi's room.)Tara: "Kyu kar rahi hai yesha aapne saath?"Aarohi: "Shaayad yehi meri kismat hai."Tara: (hugs Aarohi tightly) π€
(The priest begins chanting the mantras, and Aarohi and Rudraaksh are called to exchange garlands. Aarohi hesitates, but she lifts her garland, her hands shaking as she places it around Rudraaksh's neck. His face remains impassive, his eyes focused on the floor.)Chachi: (muttering to Tina) "She's just doing this for the Rajputs. She'll never be good enough for them."Tina: (snickering) "I can't wait to see her fail. She won't last long in that family. Let's see how long she can keep up the act."(Aarohi overhears them but says nothing, her heart is heavy. Rudraaksh places the garland around her neck with mechanical precision's)(The fire burns in the center as Aarohi and Rudraaksh begin the seven sacred rounds. Each step they take feels like a weight she can't carry, but she moves forward, knowing there's no way back. As they circle the fire, the eyes of the guests are on them, but the voices of her family echo in her mind.)Chachi: (hissing under her breath to Tina) "I can't believe this is happening. If she doesn't ruin this marriage, I'll be shocked. The Rajputs will realize soon enough that they're stuck with her."Tina: (whispering, but loud enough for Aarohi to hear) "She'll never fit in. No matter how hard she tries, she's not one of us. She's just a burden who doesn't belong here."(Aarohi feels the sting of Tina's words, but she forces herself to stay calm. Rudraaksh walks beside her, his face devoid of emotion, but his steps are heavy with the burden of this marriage.)---(The final vows are exchanged, and the priest declares the marriage complete. Aarohi and Rudraaksh are now husband and wife, but there's no joy in Aarohi's heart. She feels numb, as if she's just been swept along by a current she can't control.)Priest: "The marriage is complete. May your life together be filled with blessings."(Guests clap politely, but Aarohi's heart is not in it. Chachi, Tina, and Chacha stand off to the side, their faces showing no trace of happiness. Chachi's lips curl into a cold, triumphant smile.)Chachi: (loudly) "Well, at least the Rajputs will have to deal with her now. She's their problem, not ours."(Aarohi overhears this, and her hands clutch the edge of her lehenga as she tries to compose herself. Rudraaksh, sensing her discomfort, glances at her briefly, but says nothing. He, too, feels trapped.)---(The wedding is over, and Aarohi is about to leave with Rudraaksh. She hugs her Chacha goodbye, but Chachi and Tina stand nearby, their expressions filled with disdain.)Aarohi: (softly) "Thank you... for everything."Chachi: (coldly) "Don't embarrass us. You better do your part in that family. Don't come crawling back."(Aarohi's throat tightens, but she swallows the words she wants to say. She climbs into the car with Rudraaksh, and as it drives away, she feels the weight of her family's hatred pressing down on her.)---(Aarohi's Chacha steps forward reluctantly to give her away. He looks at her with a mixture of guilt and obligation, his actions robotic as he performs the sacred ritual. Chachi watches from the side, her eyes cold and unforgiving. Tina stands beside her, smirking.)Chachi: (softly to herself) "She's nothing but a charity case. It's about time she becomes someone else's problem."Tina: (whispering) "She's not even worthy of this wedding. Look at her, acting like she's special. She's just a burden we can finally throw away."(Aarohi winces at their words, her throat tight as she tries to fight the tears. Her Chacha places her hand in Rudraksh's, and the moment feels like a final act of surrender, not a blessing.)Hey butterflies, πβοΈI hope you are doing well and not being professional in writing , I may make some mistakes so let me know.Bye take Care. πβοΈ
