As darkness sets in, Ahdar finds herself facing a destiny she never desired. Her mother, once a victim of relentless abuse in this household, fled before Ahdar’s birth. Ahdar’s upbringing was a testament to her mother’s determination to shield her from the shadows of this family. But fate, with its twisted irony, has dragged her back to the very doorstep her mother feared most. This time, not as a visitor, but as the wife of the family’s younger son, Farish Farhan Chowdhury.
Farish is as cold as the household Ahdar has come to loathe. Forced into this marriage by his domineering father, he has no interest in fulfilling the obligations of a husband. His world is one of freedom, power, and a refusal to bow to tradition. To him, Ahdar is a pawn in his father’s grand game, and he makes his disdain clear from the very first night. “Six months,” he declares, “just six months. We’ll act like a married couple, then part ways for good.”
Ahdar’s Dilemma:
Haunted by the stories of her mother’s suffering and the fear of history repeating itself, Ahdar is determined not to become a victim. Her heart may tremble with fear, but her resolve is steel. If she must endure six months in this house, she will do so on her terms. For Ahdar, this isn’t just a marriage; it’s a mission. Her goal? To uncover the secrets her mother carried to the grave and to bring justice to the woman who gave her life.
But can she survive six months in a house filled with enemies? And what of her husband, Farish, who embodies the very arrogance and cruelty she’s grown to despise?
Farish’s World:
Farish is a man accustomed to getting his way. His charm is his armor, his wealth, his weapon. The women who flock to him see a prince; Ahdar sees a tyrant. He has no patience for emotional ties, least of all with the woman who’s been thrust into his life against his will. To him, Ahdar is an obstacle, a reminder of his father’s control. He vows to keep his distance, but her fiery spirit and refusal to bend to his will spark a battle of wits and wills that neither expected.
The Clash of Two Worlds:
Their marriage begins with harsh words and colder silences. Ahdar refuses to back down, her sharp tongue often meeting Farish’s icy glares. She’s not the docile bride he expected, and he’s not the supportive husband she dreamed of. Yet, in the quiet moments between their clashes, they begin to see glimpses of the pain and vulnerability they both hide.
Ahdar’s determination to protect herself and find justice for her mother is met with resistance not just from Farish but from the entire household. Each family member has their role in the complex web of secrets and lies that bind them together. As Ahdar delves deeper, she uncovers truths that could shatter the foundation of the Chowdhury dynasty. But with every revelation comes greater danger.
The Promise of Change:
Farish, too, begins to change in ways he doesn’t fully understand. Ahdar’s strength and vulnerability awaken something in him that he’s long buried: empathy. As he witnesses her struggles, he’s forced to confront the man he’s become and the man he could be. Yet, his pride and fear of vulnerability keep him from admitting the growing connection between them.
The Stakes:
With six months as their timeline, the stakes are high. For Ahdar, it’s a race against time to uncover her mother’s past and secure her own future. For Farish, it’s a battle to maintain his independence while grappling with emotions he’s long suppressed. Together, they navigate a minefield of family politics, societal expectations, and their own conflicting desires.
Will they part ways as planned, or will six months be enough to transform their hatred into something deeper? Can Ahdar achieve justice without losing herself in the process? And will Farish find the courage to let go of his pride and embrace the possibility of love?
