Salma, trapped in a loveless marriage to Anwar's older brother, a feudal lord, found solace in the arms of her forbidden love, Anwar. Their secret romance blossomed in the shadows, filled with stolen glances and whispered promises.

But fate had a different plan for them. One day, Salma discovered that she was pregnant with Anwar's child. Her heart filled with both joy and fear, knowing that this secret could tear their lives apart.

She mustered up the courage to tell Anwar the truth, that the baby was his. Anwar, overwhelmed with a mix of emotions, held Salma close and promised to stand by her side no matter what. He even allowed her to choose the name for their child, but Salma insisted that it was Anwar's decision.

Anwar, wanting to honor his brother and their complicated situation, chose the name Murtasim Sha Nawaz Khan for their baby boy. It was a name that carried the weight of their secret love, hidden deep within its syllables.

Years went by, and the truth of the baby's paternity remained buried in the depths of their hearts. Salma and Anwar lived their lives as best they could, pretending that their son was the rightful heir of Anwar's brother.

The weight of their secret weighed heavily on them, but they couldn't bring themselves to reveal the truth. They didn't want to cause further pain and turmoil within their family, especially for their son, Murtasim.

Instead, Salma and Anwar poured their love and affection into raising Murtasim, ensuring that he had a happy and fulfilling childhood. They shielded him from the truth, wanting him to grow up in a world untainted by their forbidden love.

Their love story remained hidden, a bittersweet secret that only they knew. And while the truth of Murtasim's paternity may never be revealed, the love between Salma and Anwar continued to burn, silently, in the depths of their souls.

Years went by, and the truth of the baby's paternity remained buried in the depths of their hearts. Salma and Anwar lived their lives, keeping their secret hidden from the world.

But as Murtasim turned 21, Salma couldn't bear the weight of the secret any longer. On his birthday, she gathered the courage to sit him down and reveal the truth that had been kept hidden for so long.

With tears in her eyes, Salma told Murtasim the story of his birth, explaining that he was actually the son of Anwar, his uncle, and not the rightful heir of his father. It was a moment filled with mixed emotions for Murtasim, as he grappled with the revelation of his true parentage.

However, Salma assured him that the love and bond they shared as a family remained unchanged. Murtasim, though initially shocked, came to understand the sacrifices Salma and Anwar had made to protect him and their family's honor.

From that day forward, Murtasim embraced his true identity and the love of both his parents, Salma and Anwar. The family grew even stronger, bound by the unbreakable ties of love and loyalty.

As Murtasim carried the weight of the truth on his shoulders, he found himself torn between revealing the secret and protecting his 'dad's feelings. After all he was the man that raised him . It became a constant internal struggle for him, as he grappled with the moral dilemma of whether or not to disclose the truth.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Murtasim observed his 'dad,' who had raised him with love and care, blissfully unaware of the truth. He couldn't bear the thought of shattering his 'dad's' world and the bond they had formed over the years.

Murtasim sought solace in confiding with his mother, Salma, who understood the complexity of the situation. Together, they weighed the consequences of revealing the truth and the impact it would have on their family dynamics.

Ultimately, Murtasim made the difficult decision to keep the secret hidden. He chose to prioritise the happiness and stability of his family over his own desire for honesty. It was a sacrifice he made to maintain the harmony that had been carefully built over the years.

Life continued on its course, with Murtasim and his 'dad' sharing countless moments of joy, laughter, and love. The bond between them grew stronger, as they created memories that would last a lifetime.

In the end, Murtasim carried the truth within him, a secret known only to him and his mother. It became a reminder of the sacrifices made for the sake of love and family. And as they moved forward, their shared secret served as a testament to the strength and resilience of their bond.

So, the truth remained buried, forever kept between Murtasim and his mother, as they embraced the life they had built together, cherishing the love and connection they shared with their family.
