Sree Nila’s House – One Week After Her Marriage
SREE NILA (FL)
(texting her best friend Aishu):
“Machii. I’m married. But I haven’t even spoken to my husband alone. Not even once.”
“They say he’s always busy. Like what? Prime Minister-aa?”
Aishwarya /aishu (FL Frd)
“You didn’t even have a proper conversation at the wedding??”
SREE NILA (FL)
“No da. He came, tied the thaali, said thanks to my dad, and left like some business meeting 😑”
“My thaali is shining more than our connection.”
Rithvik’s Office – Same Time
raghav (ML assistant)
(nervously):
Sir… media is asking when you’ll release wedding pictures.
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
(calm but firm):
Tell them it was a private deal. No photo releases.
raghav (ML assistant)
Private… deal, sir?
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
That marriage wasn’t for love.
It was for protecting a name.
And I don’t have time for useless drama.
He stares at a photo file on his desk — only her eyes are visible in the pic
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
(muttering):
So you’re the girl they chose… soft eyes. Hope you’re quiet too.
SREE NILA (FL)
(voice note to herself):
“His name is Rithvik Devan. My husband.
I don’t know his favourite food.
I don’t know his voice.
But I know one thing… he doesn’t care.”
She stares at the thaali (wedding chain) in her hand.
SREE NILA (FL)
(Kalyanam aachu. But life-a laam thodala.)
I'm married. But life hasn’t even started yet...
Meanwhile – Rithvik in his car, silent, staring out the window
RITHVIK DEVAN (ML)
(thinking):
"I married her for one reason only.
To stop chaos.
And I expect silence from her too."
He picks up his phone. Scrolls past her number. Doesn’t call
SREE NILA (FL)
(Sometimes, two lives are tied by fate…
before hearts even get the chance to speak.
The silence is only the beginning.)
