"There is no need to search for a bride, Dadi. We do not require one. What we need is a surrogate. To fulfill my duty, I must find a surrogate who will carry the heir."

****

Mitali's brother spoke of an offer they had received from the heartless moneylender, Vijay Singh. A wealthy family was in need of a surrogate for their unmarried son and the proposal involved waiving interest and 20% of the principal if they agreed. The family was offering fifty lakhs, which left Mitali speechless. She couldn't help but feel torn between the glimpse of hope at the end of the tunnel and the gaping chasm that stood in her way.

"Mitali, if we accept this offer, we'll have thirty lakhs to spare after reclaiming our home. Please consider it," pleaded her brother, avoiding meeting her gaze.

Trembling uncontrollably, tears gush from her eyes with reckless abandon as the very dreams she had woven are shattered against a final twig of hope. She watches in despair as her family, the apples of her eyes, are dragged down into the dark abyss of hopelessness.

****

What happens when desperation and debt force two different worlds to collide?
