Preface
Arranged marriage was an age-old story that Khushi, the youngest of the infamous Gupta family, who revolutionized and dominated the trading market for generations, knew well.
For it was the only thing she heard growing up.
But that neither prepared her nor comforted her as she got ready that morning. It was an important day, a day where she would trade her surname for a new one, her silence for a new chance, her respect for a new hope, her life for another. It was a day of contracts, both new and old.
As she hid behind the traditional red shawl, knowing that the whole world would be watching her, waiting to pounce, she wondered why her mother never told her about any of the good marriages. The ones that worked out. The ones that had hope. The ones that had love.
Probably because they don’t exist, Khushi thought to herself.
Only, destiny had believed otherwise.

Hello everyone,
I am not even sure if some of my old readers are still active on IF, but to introduce myself, my name is Archi. I have been writing stories on and off for many years now. This forum always holds a special place in my heart, because it's where I have started as a writer and got to meet such amazing people. So even though I tend to disappear for a long time (personal life, studies, etc.), I always do come back ❤️
I hope you will enjoy this new story just as much as the last one!
Archi
