arrangedmarriage betrayal desi grovelling hope love marriage muslim pakistan secondchance

In a house filled with traditions, expectations, and unspoken words, Fahad and Hadiya navigate the complexities of love, family, and second chances. Once childhood rivals, then reluctant partners in an arranged marriage, their relationship was never built on grand romantic gestures. Instead, it was forged through teasing, stubbornness, and a quiet understanding that neither of them dared to acknowledge-until everything fell apart.

Yet, through distance and discord, Hadiya remains-a steady flame in the dark, a quiet force reminding Fahad that love isn't about grand gestures or perfect moments, but about choosing each other, over and over again.

In a world where love is often loud, theirs is found in the quiet; in lingering gazes, in the warmth of shared spaces, and in the spaces between words. "Where the Candle Burns" is a story of love that flickers but never fades, of finding light in the darkest moments, and of two hearts learning that love isn't about falling-it's about staying.All Rights Reserved

Is it not love when the two made for one another find solace in each others' eyes? When they don't hurt but rather experience joy together? When they don't burn in the embers of their passion but rather enjoy its warmth? Is it still love if the two are so madly besotted with one another than they couldn't bear to hurt the other? Is it still love if it doesn't hurt? A different kind of love. A normal kind of love. For that which burdens the character of a woman, is not love at all. Following three couples as they not only navigate love, but honor, and pride as well.
