When love was abandoned
The day had arrived—the one Sangeeta had been dreaming of for years. The morning sun streamed through the windows, bathing the room in a warm, golden light. In her childhood fantasies, this moment had always felt like something out of a fairy tale, a dream come true. She had pictured this day countless times, but never once had she imagined it would unfold like this.
Flashback - A few days ago...
Sangeeta had been sitting in the park, her hand tucked in Amit’s as they walked under the shade of the old banyan tree. They had always been inseparable, their love growing stronger with every passing year. Amit had promised her the world—endless happiness, a future together.
Amit
Sangeeta, kuch he dino mei hum humesha ke liye ek ho jayenge. Main tumhe apna banane ke liye aur intezar nahi kar sakta.
Sangeeta, in a few days, we’ll be together forever. I can't wait to make you mine.
She had smiled brightly, her heart soaring at his words. She had been so sure—sure of him, sure of them. The idea of their wedding had felt like a beautiful, natural conclusion to their story.
Sangeeta Sharma
Mujhe toh abhi bhi believe he nahi ho raha ki finally hum ek ho jayenge... thank you amit meri life aane ke liye aur ise aur Khoobsurat banane ke liye
I still can't believe that finally we will be together... Thank you Amit for coming into my life and making it more beautiful
Sangeeta Sharma
*dreamily*
The excitement of the wedding day had been palpable. The house was filled with decorations, guests arriving in their finest clothes, and her family bustling around, preparing for the ceremony. Sangeeta stood before the mirror, adjusting her lehenga, the weight of the red fabric a stark contrast to her light heart earlier in the day. She smiled at her reflection, imagining Amit standing by her side, ready to take their vows.
Her best friend, Kriti, helped her with the final touches, their chatter light and filled with joy.
Priti
Tu bahut khoobsurat lagegi Sangeeta. Amit tujhe dekh ke dang reh jayega.
You’re going to look so beautiful, Sangeeta. Amit’s going to be floored when he sees you
Priti
*adjusting sangeeta's dupatta*
But then, everything changed.
Sangeeta’s phone buzzed, and Kriti handed it to her with a solemn expression. The message on the screen froze her. It was from Amit’s number.
Amit
Message:
"I’m sorry, I can’t do this. I have to follow my dreams. I’ve got an opportunity to be an international idol. Goodbye, Sangeeta."
Her breath caught in her throat, the world around her spinning as the words sank in.
Sangeeta Sharma
Nahi...nahi, aisa nahi ho sakta...
No... no, this can’t be happening...
She felt the room close in around her. This was her worst nightmare. Amit couldn’t be serious—he had promised her a future. How could he just walk away?
Amit
Message:
I’m sorry, I can’t do this. I have to follow my dreams. I’ve got an opportunity to be an international idol. Goodbye, Sangeeta...if possible please forgive me...sorry.
In a panic, she called his number, but it went straight to voicemail. She called again and again, but his phone remained switched off. Desperation clawed at her chest, and in a daze, she bolted from the room, running towards the mandap.
Her footsteps echoed in the empty hallway, the silence deafening. Her heart pounded louder than her frantic breaths. She had to see him, talk to him, understand why.
As she neared the mandap, she stopped in her tracks. The large, golden structure stood empty—no groom in sight. Her family and relatives sat quietly, their faces sympathetic and filled with pity, as if they already knew.
Relatives
Dulha bhaag gaya...
Relatives
Kya jamana aa gaya hai bhaisahab...
Relatives
Jarur dulhan mein he koi kami hogi
Relatives
*countinues whispering*
But Sangeeta didn’t hear them. She ran to the mandap, scanning the faces, hoping to see Amit’s familiar one among them. But there was no sign of him.
Her vision blurred with tears, her body trembling with the shock of it all. Her heart broke further with every passing second, and all she could feel was the crushing weight of his absence.
Sangeeta Sharma
Kyu... Amit...kyu...kya kami reh gayi mere pyar mein jo mujhe bich mein he cchod ke chale gaye...kyu..?
Why... Amit... why... what was lacking in my love that you left me midway... why..?
Sangeeta Sharma
*mumbles softly while looking at her mehandi*
Then, just when she thought she couldn’t bear it anymore, a calm, steady voice cut through the chaos.
𝐀𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡 Rai Singhania
Main karunga shaadi... main karunga dulhan se shaadi
I will marry... I will marry the bride
Sangeeta froze. Aakarsh Rai Singhania, her father’s boss’s son, stood there, his voice resolute. The crowd shifted, eyes now on him, and the words he spoke rang out in the silence. He wasn’t asking. He wasn’t offering a choice. He was simply stating what was about to happen.
She turned slowly, her heart still reeling from the betrayal, her body stiff with disbelief.
She turned slowly, her heart still reeling from the betrayal, her body stiff with disbelief.
But Aakarsh didn’t answer her. He simply stood there, steady and unwavering. His gaze held hers for a brief moment, and she could see that this wasn’t a decision made lightly—it was a solution, a choice he was willing to stand by.
In the space where love had once blossomed, now only a stranger stood by her side, ready to take her hand and lead her into a life neither of them had ever imagined.
