The sun was setting over the village of Rajpur, casting a golden glow over the fields and houses. The Chauhan household was a flurry of activity as they prepared for the wedding of Meera's elder sister, Priya. Meera, a shy and modest 19-year-old, was busy helping her mother and aunts with the final arrangements. Her delicate features were softened by a sense of calm, even amidst the chaos, and her simple attire only enhanced her natural beauty.

In another part of the village, Ashok Singh, the elder son of Rudra Singh, the respected sarpanch of the village, was attending the wedding with his family. Ashok was known for his reserved nature and strong sense of duty. As the festivities continued, Ashok found himself wandering around the courtyard, observing the celebrations.
