Rumaisa Noor has always been an old soul-quiet, observant, and painfully aware of the world's cruelty. Beneath her soft smiles and poetic thoughts, she carries a secret no one knows: a truth that will one day erase her memories, her love, and pieces of herself. Loving deeply yet choosing restraint, Rumaisa believes some hearts are meant to burn alone so others can stay warm.
The story begins at Arhaam Sikander's wedding-the man Rumaisa loved in silence and rejected with her own hands, despite loving him more than herself. As she watches him marry another, Rumaisa strangles her love to save him from a future she knows she cannot give. What the world sees as sacrifice, she lives as slow self-destruction.
When Taymur Khan enters her life-a stoic, emotionally guarded man with his own shadows-Rumaisa is forced into a marriage that is built on respect, distance, and unspoken truths. Between fading memories, societal expectations, and a heart that refuses to stop feeling, Rumaisa must decide whether love is worth choosing again when time itself is her enemy.
This is not a story of perfect romance.
It is a story of choices, quiet heartbreaks, strong women, and love that exists even when it is never claimed.
A tale where love does not always save-but sometimes, it teaches how to endure.
