A Stranger I Remain

It was as if life had struck a deal with Murphy’s Law — moving steadily toward the dream, only to collapse at the very brink of fulfillment. That’s how she lived: drifting between fleeting hobbies, anchored only by an old passion for reading, a constant thirst for knowledge. And just when she thought the path had finally cleared — she passed the entrance exam, drew closer to university, to people, to life itself after years of isolation, inertia, and delay — The long-awaited moment turns into a nightmare: she finds herself the wife of a man she doesn’t know, the mother of his children, in an unfamiliar place, without a name, without a past. Something ignites within her: She will live for herself, and no one else. But in a strange world, with an Eastern heart and a modern soul— Can she truly find herself? How will she face the unknown? And is willpower alone enough to survive?
