31 parts Complete Ranya Rabiu is the perfect daughter. Dutiful, polite, modest - and recently engaged to Ayman, her childhood friend and her best friend Raya's older brother. Everyone says they're perfect together. Except Ranya knows deep down: something is terribly wrong.
She can't sleep. Her body aches. Her soul feels trapped. Ayman is not unkind, but he's emotionally cold, controlling, and sees her more as a symbol of status than a partner. He makes her feel like a shadow of herself.
When Ranya finally collapses from exhaustion and stress, she's referred to a young neurologist, Dr. Zaydan Malik, whose quiet presence and perceptiveness begin to crack through the fog she lives in. What starts as medical care slowly becomes emotional refuge.
Zaydan sees her. Really sees her.
And for the first time, she feels safe.
As their appointments continue, Ranya begins to recover. She opens up - about her insomnia, the pressure from her mother, the fear she's marrying someone she doesn't even recognize anymore. Zaydan listens. And he never oversteps. But a connection grows.
Just as Ranya decides to end her engagement, her family threatens to disown her. Her mother manipulates her through emotional blackmail and guilt, even threatening suicide. Ayman's family pressures her with shame and religion. With no way out, she signs the nikkah papers under immense coercion.
After the wedding, she is moved into Ayman's house, where the pressure worsens. She is silenced, emotionally bullied by Ayman's sisters, and isolated from her old life. Her mental health begins to deteriorate rapidly. She stops seeing Zaydan. Her body weakens. Her faith dims.
