ON THE THE OTHER SIDE
Rajasthan—A grand, ancient mansion bathed in golden sunset light. Aditya Singh Rathore stands silently in the courtyard, his silhouette sharp and commanding against the fading sun.
Far away, bound by the legacy of Rajasthan, Aditya carried the heavy burden of his family’s honor and responsibility. Behind his cold, stern facade lay a broken heart.
Aaditya Singh Rathore (ML)
“Without father, the house feels incomplete... The expectations of the Rajput family and my own hidden weaknesses don’t let me find peace.” *Thinking*
He walks to an old wooden swing in the courtyard, touching a faded photograph of his late father gently, a rare softness in his eyes.
Aaditya Singh Rathore (ML)
“Your dreams are my support, Dad. I will live this Rajput name with honor... no matter how tall the walls are.”
But Aditya knew that the chains tied to him in the name of legacy were not just honor—they also took away his freedom.
He wanted to rewrite his life in Mumbai, but the stillness of his heart and family matters held him back.
He puts the frame back to its place and turn towards his travel preparations. He packs carefully: formal suits, traditional Rajput attire, and a heavy heart.
Aaditya Singh Rathore (ML)
“Mumbai... will this city change my fate or just reopen old wounds?” *mumbles*

“That house is very big... it looks like a palace!” *Shout whispers*
Manvi kapoor (FL's Mother)
“Maybe it’s a Rajput family. Let’s see what their style is like.” *Smiles*
