In a city that teaches women how to be loved but never how to want Madhavi has spent her entire life learning the rules of respectability.
She knows how to be a good daughter. A good woman. A good wife.
But desire has never followed society's rules.
When Madhavi marries Arjun, she believes love will be enough to make room for every part of her. Yet marriage brings questions neither of them is prepared to answer about intimacy, rejection, expectations, and the quiet cruelty of being made to feel ashamed for wanting too much.
As whispers grow louder and love begins to fracture beneath unspoken truths, Madhavi must decide whether she will continue shrinking herself to be accepted or finally choose the woman she has always been.
Because a woman who desires is
not immoral. A woman who asks for love is not shameless. And sometimes, the hardest battle is not against society...
...but against the shame it teaches us to carry.
