Chapter 1: Beginnings and Burdens

A young man, Aditya, from a stable middle-class family, is emotionally blackmailed into marrying Meera, a simple girl from a lower-middle-class background. The marriage is rushed-set up through relatives and done to "settle" Aditya after a failed love affair.

Meera, on the other hand, is practical and kind but unused to the expectations of Aditya's more "refined" household. What starts as a loveless, awkward setup slowly evolves as both are forced to face external struggles-class prejudice, job loss, financial instability, societal judgment-and internal ones like insecurity, ego, misunderstandings, and moments of tenderness.

In this journey, they fall in love not at first sight, but through shared survival.
