The light of a new morning entered my room through a small gap between the curtains, casting a soft golden glow across the walls. The gentle rays of sunlight slowly illuminated the room, making everything feel warm and peaceful. Yet, despite the calmness around me, there was a different kind of excitement stirring inside my heart.

I knew that today was the day my childhood crush, my cousin, and soon to be husband, Ahsan, would finally return from abroad to settle here in India.
