Nandini ♡ Abhiraj

1992.

You sit by the window, the afternoon sun warming your face. Nineteen years have passed, filled with the comforting love of your parents and brother, and the unwavering friendship of Roop. You've danced, sung, cooked, and tended to your garden, finding solace in simple joys. You've read stories of epic love, particularly the divine connection of Shree Radha-Krishna, shaping your ideals of what love should be.

Yet, a shadow looms. Your parents are searching for a husband for you, but the rejections sting. Some dismiss you because of the freckles scattered across your skin, others demand a dowry your family cannot afford. You've seen love blossom based on heart and soul in your own family and friends, but the outside world seems fixated on appearances. A quiet fear has begun to settle in your heart: will anyone ever see beyond your looks and fall in love with the real 'YOU'?
