Siara Malhotra was the heart of the Malhotra family, the youngest and only daughter among five protective older brothers. A chatterbox with a radiant smile, she filled their home with laughter and light. Dancing was her passion, her escape, and her joy, and she was cherished by everyone who knew her and her love for Mahir Sehgal was not unknown to anyone.But one fateful night shattered her perfect world.
Accused of a betrayal she never committed, Siara's family turned against her, their love replaced with resentment. Stripped of the trust and warmth she once knew, she was cast out into the night, her pleas falling on deaf ears. Broken and abandoned, she left the home she thought would always be her sanctuary.
Seven years later, grief brought her back when her beloved grandfather passed away and she was implied to fulfill his last wish.But the Siara who returned was unrecognizable. Gone was the vibrant, bubbly girl. In her place stood a cold, stoic womanâher lively spirit extinguished, her heart guarded by walls of silence.
Now, as she faces the family who once adored and then condemned her, Siara must confront the pain of her past and the secrets that destroyed her. Will she find the strength to reclaim her voice and heal the wounds, or will she forever remain a shadow of the girl she once was?
Mahir Sehgal was the kind of man who exuded quiet strength and charm without even trying. Reserved yet magnetic, his presence often commanded attention, though he preferred to stay out of the limelight. He was a man of principle, grounded in logic, and fiercely committed to his responsibilities. However, loveâtrue, raw, consuming loveâhad always eluded him.
Siara Malhotra had loved him with a passion that could light up the darkest corners of the universe. But for Mahir, her love was a burden he never asked for. He wasnât cruel, nor was he a playboy. He simply couldnât feel for her what she felt for him. To him, love was a choice, not something to be forced or dictated by others.
Yet, life had other plans. Bound by the dying wish of Siaraâs grandfather, Mahir found himself thrust into a marriage he neither wanted nor understood. On their wedding night, overwhelmed by the weight of expectations and guilt, he made a decision that changed both their livesâhe left. For three long years, he disappeared, immersing himself in his work, far from the woman he had vowed to stand beside.
Mahir Sehgal is a man haunted by his own choices, a figure torn between duty and desire, guilt and indifference. His journey is as much about facing the shadows of his own heart as it is about understanding the woman he left behindâthe woman who had become more than he ever imagined in his absence.
