Chapter 16 From a Girl to a Woman

The air was thick with incense, the scent of marigold flowers drifting through the courtyard as the sun dipped low, painting the sky with gold and purple, while temple bells chimed faintly in the distance.

The village was alive with the sound of drums, the rhythm of feet dancing on packed mud, and the laughter of elders and children echoing through the old clay houses.

It was the grand Puja celebration—a day where the village honored the gods, their harvests, and their ancestors. But this year, something was different.

At the heart of the celebration stood Vikram and Naina—their first time standing together not just as husband and wife, but as the village’s Thakur and Thakurain.

Vikram, usually a figure of cold authority and distant power, was at her side like a devoted husband. He didn’t just stand with her; he hovered—protective, attentive, his eyes rarely leaving her face, as if guarding her from every gaze that dared to linger.

Naina, dressed in shimmering gold and silver, was the embodiment of grace, her Banarasi pallu catching the sunlight like liquid fire.

The layers of Banarasi sari, rich with embroidery, cascaded over her like molten gold, each fold whispering royalty.
