Synopsis

The first time I saw him was at my elder sister's wedding.

There was a unique radiance on his face. His eyes held such depth that it seemed the entire ocean resided within them. With his brown eyes, a height of 7'5", a complexion like dark sandalwood, a muscular physique, and broad shoulders, seeing him was like seeing Lord Krishna himself-the most beautiful man in the universe-standing before me.

He was my sister's brother-in-law, her husband's older brother. He had never married, and I never knew why.

But I was completely captivated by him. I began to try and find ways to get closer to him.

Then, my parents died in a battle, and my mother immolated herself in a pyre, committing Jauhar. During that difficult time, his care for me-how he would lovingly caress my hair and stay awake to look after me-was so wonderful that I wanted to forget everything and lose myself completely in him. I wanted to be his, and only his.

But then, I learned that the most important thing in his life was not me, but his desire for revenge. He wanted to take revenge on a king who, in a battle, had taken a significant part of his kingdom. That king was twice as powerful as him.

He had been preparing for this war for years-a conflict that would either give him everything back or take everything away.

This is the ultimate test of my love. If everything is lost, I will, like my mother, surrender myself to the fire god.

If I can't be his, I can't be anyone else's.
