( PROLOGUE )
" 𝑴𝒂𝒚 𝑰 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒔 ? "
" and the moon told me ,
how to be alone ,
dependent on no one ,
& still shine . "
PRIYA ( 22 ) , vibrant eyes dulled by resignation ,
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
*stares at her reflection in a cracked mirror*
Saree-clad aunties chatter outside, bargaining for gold .
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
*forced smile*
" I dreamed of painting the world, not becoming someone's duty ."
SIDDHARTH ( 22 ) , in a modest kurta ,
fixing a leaky roof for his widowed mother.
He pockets a photo of priya--- arranged by family.
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
" Fate binds us. "
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
" But can kindness untie the knots ?"
• EXT. MUMBAI WEDDING VENUE •
A riot of marigolds , brass bands blaring dhol beats.
Guest in silk saris & sherwanis swarm a modest banquet hall.
Aradhya sits rigid on a decorated mandap stage ,
Bridal lehenga heavy as her heart.
Her eyes dart-trapped bird .
Aunty ( 1 )
*gleeful*
" Beta smile ! "
Aunty ( 1 )
*pinching Aaradhya's cheek*
" Siddharth is such a catch government clerk , steady job ."
Aunty ( 1 )
" No NRI drama ! "
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
*forces a nod*
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
*whispers to her sister*
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
*under breath*
" Neha , I can't breath . This wasn't my choice ."
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
" Papa's debts......"
Neha Patel ( FL'S sister )
*hushed , fanning her*
" Shh . Tradition."
Neha Patel ( FL'S sister )
" Siddharth seems nice . Better than those city boys who vanish ."
Siddharth enters with reserved smile wearing white kurta , no bling.
He came from typical Indian middle class family ,
His eyes are kind but shy.
Priest chants Sanskrit mantras.
Fire crackles in the havan kund.
Siddharth dipped his thumb into the Sindoor box ,
& applied a red streak to Priya's hairline ,
Aradhya Patel ( FL )
*closed eyes*

*tears rolling down on the cheeks*

Aradhya Patel ( FL )
*looking at him*
Siddharth Rao ( ML )
*softly*
" What ?"

*looks away*
