The Choice

What happens when the life everyone expects you to live isn't the life you want? My name is Aisha Malik, and I've spent years walking the tightrope between family duty and my own dreams. From the outside, I have everything: a promising career in medicine, a picture-perfect engagement to a man everyone adores, and a supportive family that's eager to see me succeed. But here's the truth: I'm drowning in their expectations. I'm standing at a crossroads, trying to figure out if I'm brave enough to choose my own path, even if it means disappointing everyone I love. And then there's Rafiq. Charming, successful, and exactly the kind of man my parents want for me—except I'm not sure if he's the one I want for myself. What do you do when your future feels like it's already been written? Is it worth the risk to tear up the script and start again? It's time to find out.
