Wings After the weight

Nandini Rajawat was born with a name meant for thrones in dignity, if not in freedom. But crowns are heavy, and their diamonds cut deep. To the world, she's perfect, the obedient daughter, the class topper, the girl who never raises her voice. She smiles while the sharp edges of expectations pierce her skin. She stands tall even as the weight of "what will people say" bends her spine. Silent bruises, swallowed screams, a lifetime of carrying burdens that were never hers to hold. Then comes the storm. A night on a mountain top, rain lashing like accusations, lightning tearing the sky open and her with it. Nandini decides she's done bleeding quietly for the sake of someone else's comfort. Healing isn't graceful. It's raw and isolating and it scars. But from those scars, something grows: wings. Not delicate, not the ones promised in fairy tales. Wings forged from every diamond that cut her, every weight she refused to drop. Heavy. Earned. Hers. "The Weight and the Wings" is reality-based fiction about trauma, family duty, and the brutal beauty of choosing yourself. For every girl told to wear her pain like jewelry - this is Nandini Rajawat taking off the crown, owning her scars, and flying anyway.
