Prologue

Love is an emotion that can never be fully depicted with words. Love is like a mountain which stands tall through all the storms forced upon it by nature. Love is like a fragile string that holds everybody's lives together. Without love, we would be nothing. Love is humanity. Love is kindness. Love is life.

A mother's love is superior to all kinds of love that exists in this world. It is said that something changes in a woman, chemically, when she becomes a mother. That feeling can never be described in words. But can this love be overcome with the desire for a career, a life without any restrictions and just wanting to be oneself? That is a concept that has been a topic of debate for years.

Yes, the chemical composition of a woman's body post-birth, does change, however, it does not change the fact that she is an individual human being. Priorities change they say. But do they need to? Can they not be aligned with the needs of a woman's baby and her ambitions? Love is beautiful, but at the same time, it is also very unforgiving. It bounds you in this façade of expectations and fascination, hiding the realities of life. A mother loves her child forever, but can a child love their mother, if she sets out to fulfill her dreams against the wills and traditions of the society?

This is the story of Ayesha and Aziza, struggling with their lives, trying to find solace and unveil the dark secrets of their lives.
