Defiant Vows

Ryan steps protectively in front of Salma, his dark eyes blazing. 'We don't care about the will,' he declares, voice low and fierce. Harish shakes his head sadly, warning that the village will shun them and the farm could be lost. Salma's hand finds Ryan's, her sandalwood scent calming him as she says, 'Let them talk. Our love is stronger than paper.' They turn to each other, and in a moment of reckless passion, Ryan whispers, 'I'll burn that will myself if it means keeping you.' Their lips meet hungrily, sealing a vow that defies tradition and law.
