Being As a Woman
by Maryam Dalir
Saghar wanted only one thing: to never be another woman’s second wife.
She had already paid the price for love. She had fallen for a man she loved deeply—a man who could never truly be hers. After living through the hell of a polygamous marriage, Saghar made the heartbreaking decision to let him go and return to the woman he belonged with.
She promised herself she would never again step into another woman’s life.
She promised to leave the past behind and build a new life of her own.
But some loves refuse to die so easily.
Years pass. Then, by sheer chance, Saghar comes face-to-face with Kamran—the man who once held her entire heart.
One look is enough to bring everything she had spent years trying to forget rushing back.
But Saghar is no longer the young woman she once was.
And Kamran is no longer the man he used to be.
Just when Saghar believes she has finally escaped her past, fate puts a new choice in front of her—a choice between a love that is still alive in her heart and the promise she made to herself long ago.
Because sometimes the hardest battle a woman faces isn’t winning a man’s love.
It’s finding a way to love without losing herself.
