Description
Sehra Waheed was a savvy, sincere, and ambitious girl when she met the scion of a major Pakistani business family. One could say it was love at first sight, desire at first glance. Each of the prospective spouse’s families were excited about the union, and all the traditional features of a ‘semi-arranged’ marriage were cut out of whole cloth—like fine Pashmina cashmere---and set in the direction the couples’ ancestors had taken for centuries. Sehra’s belief that this was true love took what would otherwise have been a loveless, institutional exercise into the realm of genuine romance. Little did the bride know she had married someone who would come to be a monster. Apprehensive of him and harking to her family’s warnings that he was a ‘spoiled rich kid’ and substance-abusing playboy, Sehra girded her spirits and decided to let her heart take the rudder. If was her life, after all, and only she would be living it with a single person. His family seemed to welcome Sehra into the charmed circle of his rarefied, aristocratic family. But the warning signs came like the first ripples of a consuming, sweeping wave. From their earliest days together, he displayed a smoldering rage and an insecurity so profound that it could only manifest itself in what appeared to be fear and nausea at his own existence. Sehra’s story begins with an incident few people could even imagine, let alone live through. She kept silent. The oath of non-disclosure was taken. How could a match that seemed to have both been semi-arranged and contain a vital and genuine love interest have go so awry, and have erupted into what was essentially a domestic physical battleground? Where had the parties mis-read each other and in what possible manner could it be salvaged, or was it hopeless from the inception, the result of mutual and deep-seated delusions? The story reveals both the celebratory atmosphere of a Pakistani traditional wedding and the dark undercurrent that lurked and smoldered even in these incipient festivities.
