They both worked in the office. Siraj was finishing his studies in IT and Maria was looking for validation through her career.

It was love at first sight!

With her bright eyes, blond and curvy, made him dream to be in a Bollywood movie. With his intense dark eyes, penetrated her soul.

She saw in him the gateway to settle down. He saw in her the most motherly creature. They start dating and discovering each other.

On the surface.

Deep down, their souls knew that this wasn’t right but was necessary for their evolution in a more authentic version of themselves.

Maria once told him that she couldn’t have kids for a strange medical condition she had when she was a child and Siraj believed her and felt genuinely sorry for her.

A few months later, here they were waiting in the nursery to see their first born baby. Maria posted on social media pictures of her perfect family.

Fighting and arguments started when Maria wanted the absolute control of every situation involving her husband and child. Only in this way she could feel protected by any evil that could enter her household.
