It's been seven years since we got married. In these years, I have received more love, care, and happiness than I ever imagined possible. Today, I feel truly blessed to have you in my life.

It's only because of you that we have our adorable twin babies ❤️.

Sometimes I wonder...... If you had never come into my life, would I have ever found this kind of joy? Or even...... would I still be alive??

I still remember the first time I met you and to be honest I didn't even like you back then. When our family fixed our marriage, I started hating everything or everyone----- even you. I showed you attitude, pushed you away, and thought you would never understand me.

But look at us now.... Today, you are my entire world.

When I look back at those moments, I can't help but smile at my own foolishness. I didn't realize that the person I was running from would one day become the reason I believe in love, life, and miracles.

That moment..... It's changed everything.

I didn't know back then that the person

Standing in front of me would one day become my whole world.**❤️

At first,I know that you don't believe how much I hate the moment when I first meet you.....

...SEVEN YEARS AGO..........

It's evening. Smiksha's family has invited Ali's family for dinner after the rishta talk. Both Smiksha and Ali are sitting on the terrace, trying to avoid eye contact. The moon is high, but the tension between them is even higher.

SMIKSHA : "are you seriously thinking I would ever marry you? Don't you dare even imagine it?"

ALI : "Oh please, wild cat... I don't want to marry you either. The only reason I showed up is that my mom and dad forced me.

If I had known this meeting was about marriage, I would never have stepped in here!"

(SILENCE)

A heavy silence fell between them. No words, no eye contact . Just an awkward stillness--- like both of them had something to say but didn't know how.

ALI(breaking the silence with a smirk):

"So..... Still playing to kill me with that stare, or do you have any other weapons too?"

SMIKSHA (rolling her eyes):

"If I had a choice, I'd use silence. But unfortunately, you are still breathing."

ALI(laugh softly):

"Wow. You really do hate me, don't you?"

SMIKSHA (coldly):

"Let's just say.... I don't enjoy being gift wrapped and handed over like property."

ALI(serious now):

I didn't ask for this either, Smiksha. I came here because I didn't want to hurt my parents. Just like you."

(PAUSE. SILENCE FILLS THE AIR. SOMETHING SOFTENS IN SMIKSHA 'S EXPRESSION)...

SMIKSHA:

"I guess..... We were both trapped in a story we didn't choose."

ALI(softly, almost whispering):

"Maybe. But who knows..... Maybe the story changes us."

(FOR THE FIRST TIME , Their eyes meet---- NOT WITH ANGER , BUT CURIOSITY . A FLICKER OF SOMETHING UNKNOWN..... SOMETHING NEW)
