At just 19, with a heart full of dreams and eyes set on becoming a doctor, Saira finds herself trapped in the same cruel cycle that once swallowed her elder sister-an arranged marriage disguised as honor, obedience, and family pride.
Her father calls it duty. Society calls it respect. But Saira calls it a betrayal.
With her best friend's sister Mina standing by her side, and the haunting memory of her martyred sister's dupatta on her shoulders, Saira must choose between silence and rebellion, between survival and sacrifice.
A heart-wrenching tale of forced marriages, generational trauma, and the courage to say no-this story will shake your soul and stir your conscience.
