No one saw her. No one saw the bride left behind on the mandap, her dignity crushed beneath the weight of a choice that was never hers. No one saw her heartbreak, her silent suffering as the man who was supposed to be hers married another—right in front of her eyes. The hall was filled with gasps, whispers, even joy. But not a single emotion was for her. For two days, she wandered, unseen, unheard—her once vibrant eyes turning hollow, lifeless. And then, on a lonely bridge, as the wind tugged at the remnants of a wedding that never was, someone finally saw. The man who had destroyed her world. But was it too late?
She was the second choice in a love story that was never hers to begin with. For seven years, she waited—not for grand gestures, not for declarations of love, but for a single moment where he would see her, not as a shadow of the past, but as the woman who stood beside him. But how long can a heart wait before it forgets how to hope? For seven years, Ishaani has lived in a marriage where she exists but is never seen. As Aarav’s second wife, she has spent every day in the shadow of a love that still lingers—his love for his first wife, the one he lost but never let go. She tried to fight, tried to make him see her, but silence became her answer, indifference her fate. Now, as her letters unfold the untold story of her pain, her longing, and the love she once dreamed of, Aarav is forced to face the truth—he was never alone in his grief, but he made her live in loneliness. Can he atone for years of neglect? Or is it too late to bring back the woman who had once waited for him with open arms?
