📖 Dedication

To the women who were told to be silent,

and chose to speak through their strength instead.

To the men hardened by life,

but brave enough to let love soften them.

And to every soul caught between tradition and dreams—

may you find the courage to live both.

👰 Varnika Kashyap

Age: 20

From: Delhi

Background: Aspiring doctor, orphaned after the sudden death of her parents, forced into marriage by her cruel aunt.

Wavy, waist-length black hair always falling into her eyes

Big brown eyes filled with quiet rebellion

Wheat complexion with a soft, graceful aura

Wears simple kurtis, jeans, and glasses when studying — sarees reluctantly after marriage

Always has a diary tucked away somewhere

Fiercely intelligent, emotionally naive

Dreams of healing others, but hasn’t yet healed herself

Struggles between resistance and responsibility

Finds peace in reading, the rain, and solitude

> “I wanted to save lives, not live a life I didn’t choose.”

👑 Vardhaan Singh Rana

Age: 30

From: Rural Haryana

Background: A wealthy zamindar, feared yet respected, illiterate but street-smart. Forced into marriage by his father to secure his inheritance.

Tall, broad-shouldered, with sun-kissed skin and rough hands

Sharp jawline, intense black eyes that say little but see everything

Always in white cotton kurtas, traditional dhotis or tailored pants — never flashy

Speaks less, commands more

Loyal to the soil, to legacy, to silence

Doesn’t understand books, but knows how to run an empire

Carries the burden of a lonely childhood and a hardened heart

Shows care in actions, not words

> “I never needed a wife. But she… she makes this silence loud.”
