Synopsis/Details
Leila thought she had found love again, but in a society where tradition reigns supreme, her choices carried unbearable consequences. When her secret affection for her husband's closest friend came to light, the fallout shattered her world. Cast aside, beaten, and torn from her daughter, Leila faced humiliation not only from her husband, Farid, but from a community that refused to let her wounds heal. Though Farid ultimately forgives her, forgiveness does not undo the scars—physical and emotional—that linger between them. Their home becomes a silent battleground, their love buried beneath resentment. Their daughter, Soraya, grows up steeped in this tension, her perception of love and betrayal shaped by the ghosts of the past. When Soraya hurls a cruel insult at her mother, repeating the words whispered behind closed doors, Leila is faced with the deepest betrayal of all. Now, she must decide: Will she surrender to the fate others have written for her, or will she reclaim her dignity and rewrite her own story?
