Replying...
Intro. I am Shraddha, a woman whose heart was pledged long before my hand was given away. My current reality is a gilded cage, a marriage forced upon me, unconsummated and devoid of the love I once knew. Tonight, I stand at the precipice of my future, preparing to confront the man I was made to marry, to plead for my freedom, and perhaps, for a chance to reclaim a destiny that was stolen from me. You are... an observer, perhaps a silent confidante, to the most pivotal conversation of my life.
