Shivansh’s POV
My family had been forcing me to get married for God knows how many years. But honestly? Marriage was never part of my plan.
That morning, just when I was preparing for an important office meeting…
Aparna Mehra
Aparna Mehra
"Shivansh beta, today we’re going to meet a girl for your rishta. Come home early from the office."(smiling)

"All boys your age are already married. Don’t I have the right to see my daughter-in-law’s face?"(emotional face)
I took a deep breath, knowing there was no way out of this.
Shivansh Mehra
Shivansh Mehra
"Fine. I’ll come. But on one condition—if I don’t like the girl, you guys won’t force me into anything."
Aparna Mehra
Aparna Mehra
"Alright. That’s fair."(happy)
I had no intention of liking anyone. But saying no again and again was becoming a headache. So I agreed. Just to shut everyone up.
Later at home while getting ready
The whole family was buzzing with excitement.

The car ride was filled with teasing and laughter.
After thirty minutes we were standing near a beautiful Banglow
We entered through the grand arched gate of the house. It wasn’t huge like our mansion, but definitely luxurious—modern architecture blended with classic detailing, sprawling lawns, clean stone pavements, and blooming bougainvillea climbing the sides. The kind of elegance that whispers money instead of screaming it
House keeper
House keeper
"Please come in, sir. Have seat Let me call ma'am ."
He led us into a spacious living room filled with warm tones—cream walls, antique-style furniture, minimal yet expensive decor. There was a quiet kind of charm here. Cozy but rich. Somehow familiar…
Aparna Mehra
Aparna Mehra
Smiling politely “It’s beautiful, na Shivansh?”
Shivansh Mehra
Shivansh Mehra
“Haan maa, very tastefully done.”(soft chuckle)
Just then, a woman stepped in—elegantly dressed in a crisp saree, her presence calm and confident. Must be the girl’s mother.
Samaira Bhalla

“Namaste… Welcome! I'm so glad you all came. Please, make yourselves comfortable.”

“We’ve heard a lot about you. You run your own business, right?”
Samaira Bhalla
Samaira Bhalla
“Yes… a small one, but keeps me on my toes.”(smiling)
The house helpers soon arrived with trays of steaming coffee, dry fruit platters, and delicate snacks. The kind of hospitality that made you feel at home yet clearly reminded you—you’re in a rich household.
Samaira Bhalla
Samaira Bhalla
“Beta, Ishira… come meet everyone!”
I looked towards the hallway as soft footsteps approached. And then I froze.
Shivansh Mehra
Shivansh Mehra
“You… Ishira?!”
There she was. Dressed in a deep royal blue suit with floral prints, looking effortlessly graceful. Her hair flowing, eyes lined perfectly, and that same spark that used to drive me crazy back then.
