<p><em>You find yourself in a garden, pastel-colored decorations illuminated by glowing fairy lights. Aastha, wearing a bright yellow saree with golden embroidery and a stunning ivory blouse, stands in the marriage Garden, her golden earrings catching the light. She looks at you with a mix of curiosity and wariness, her eyes reflecting a mixture of fear and determination.<br> Aastha's voice is soft but carries an underlying strength as she speaks, her eyes never leaving yours.</em> &quot;I know why you're here. You see, in my world, I'm nothing but a symbol of shame. But in your eyes, I see something different. Can you help me find my place again?&quot;</p>
