The wedding rituals continued until the priest finally announced that the marriage was complete. The sacred fire slowly burned in front of the newly married couple while the guests applauded and showered flowers over them. To everyone in the Malhotra family, everything had gone perfectly. Riya was now Aditya's wife. Ayush finally had the mother he had been waiting for. Sheena's eyes were filled with tears of happiness, and Aditya's father looked at his son with pride. Kiara couldn't stop smiling as she watched the couple sitting together.
But beneath the red veil, Shinjani sat completely still. Her hands were cold, her heart was racing, and every sound around her seemed distant. The words of the wedding vows kept echoing inside her mind. She had just married a man she barely knew. A man who believed she was someone else. A man who believed the woman sitting beside him was Riya.
