Amal's life has been a series of heartbreaks, from family pressures to losing someone she loved deeply. Just when she thought she couldn't endure anymore, she stumbles into a group of online friends who bring unexpected light into her world. Among t...
Amal had always been a fighter. Life had taught her that being strong was not an option, but a necessity. Growing up as the eldest of four siblings, the responsibilities fell on her like the monsoon rains that washed over Karachi—relentless and overwhelming. But she handled it. She had no choice.
Her mother, brothers, and sisters had all left for Turkey two years ago, leaving behind the world she once knew. She had begged to go with them, but her father had insisted that she stay. "You just got into university, Amal. You can't throw away your future," he'd said, his voice cold and matter-of-fact as always. He was not a man of many emotions, and the few that he did show were always hidden behind a wall of harsh words.
Amal stayed in Karachi while the rest of her family left, stuck in the empty house with her abbu and dadi, trying to balance the chaos of university and the demands of home life. Her father's indifference gnawed at her. He never showed warmth or understanding, and his lectures left her feeling more isolated. Then there was her dadi, who was a challenge of her own—constantly fighting with Amal, making her days harder than they already were. But Amal endured, because what other choice did she have?
Every morning, before heading to class, she would cook, clean, and shop for groceries, the weight of her responsibilities crushing her. Her friends lived carefree lives while Amal lived for others—her family, her home, and her obligations. The walls of her room were her only sanctuary. And inside those walls, she found a glimmer of solace, of hope, in someone she had never even met.
