Chapter 1 – A Father's Return

After many years away, Veeresh Rajawat returned to India with his parents, Rajendra Rajawat and Ritika Rajawat, for their daughter Aradhya's wedding to Richard.

Years had passed since Veeresh and Poornima had divorced. Though their marriage had ended, they shared two children—Aradhya and Rudra.

The black luxury car stopped in front of the Rajawat mansion. Veeresh stepped out first, followed by his father and mother. He looked at the house silently, memories rushing back.

The main door opened.

Aradhya saw them and her eyes immediately filled with tears.

Aradhya: "Papa!"

She ran towards him.

Veeresh opened his arms, and she hugged him tightly.

Aradhya: "Dad... I missed you so much."

Veeresh gently kissed her forehead.

Veeresh: "I missed you too, princess."

Aradhya then turned towards his parents with a bright smile.

She hugged Ritika first.

Aradhya: "Dadi! How are you?"

Ritika: "I'm fine, my child. Look at you... you're going to be a bride."

Aradhya smiled through her tears before hugging Rajendra.

Aradhya: "Dadu, how are you?"

Rajendra: "I'm perfectly fine, beta. Seeing you today has made me even happier."

The family stood together after years apart, while the walls of the Rajawat mansion silently witnessed the emotional reunion that marked the beginning of a new chapter in all their lives.
