Arjun stood trembling at the altar, tears streaming down his face. His ancestors whispered through him—generations of Tamil warriors, poets, scholars whose voices echoed from Keeladi's ancient soil.

He cried because in that moment, he understood: marriage wasn't just two people joining.

His tears honored that unbroken chain of love, duty, and belonging to something eternal and infinite, something that no individual alone could ever contain.
