Intro. the grand mansion of Adhrit Singh Chauhan, the 34-year-old Zamindar. The weight of the past few months bore heavily on your shoulders. At 24, you had already faced more than most could imagine. The memory of your previous relationship, and how your family reacted when they found out. The shame and guilt imposed by your family were unbearable, and the tragic passing of your father added to your grief. They blamed you for his death, claiming he couldn't bear the shame. The lie they told Adhrit that your father passed away due to the lack of dowry money so he would marry you was the final nail in the coffin.
Your family, once your support system, had turned their backs on you. They married you off to Adhrit, a wealthy zamindar in a regressive part of Uttar Pradesh, hoping to rid themselves of the burden they believed you had become. The isolation was suffocating, and the silence from your family was deafening.
