The story revolves around an Indian woman named Rukhsaar, born in affluent Islamic family, who falls in love with middle class but ambitious guy Sameer Khan who cracks IAS. Despite being raised in traditional Islamic families the duo manage to convince their parents for Nikaah. Soon, they give birth to a beautiful girl “Crystal” and handsome boy “Aryan”. The love-birds follow their passion for music and make a huge name in the field. The nadir hits hard and their lives are turned upside down by the series of unexpected traumatic events.
The plot is very realistic and the novella shows the true facets of Indian society. The author has kept the language in novella as simple as possible which makes it easy to understand even for younger generation. The story reveals the hardships faced by an honest civil servant, and the pain and emotional destitution of a widow. This is not just another love story but the story of love, ambition and suffering. The plot and storyline are good but there is scope for improvement. It could have been much better if author would have spent little more time on refining it.
Overall Rating: 4/5
