Till six months ago, she had been Ragini Gadodia, a loved daughter and adored granddaughter.
Till six days ago, she had been Ragini Maheshwari, married to the man she loved above all, loved enough to kill her sister, or try to, twice.
Six hours ago her world turned upside down and now, she was not sure who she was anymore. Her family had disowned her and the man she loved had turned his back on her. She had no place to go, no one to turn to, no idea what to do next.
All she knew was that some way, some how, she would have to make up for the sins she had committed, even if those whom she had sinned against did not want to have anything to do with her.
This is her journey, from sin to atonement, from remorse to redemption.
A journey from being lost to finding herself.
A journey through hiraeth to reach home.

Hiraeth (pronounced [hiraɪ̯θ]) is a Welsh concept of longing for home, which can be loosely translated as 'nostalgia', or, more commonly, 'homesickness'. Many Welsh people claim 'hiraeth' is a word which cannot be translated, meaning more than solely "missing something" or "missing home." To some, it deploys the meaning of missing a time, an era, or a person. It is associated with the bittersweet memory of missing something or someone, while being grateful of that/ their existence.
