The story begins with Reet getting married in 2012. The marriage took place only with her consent. The wedding, which is a beautiful dream, Reet felt it a nightmare. She got pregnant shortly after the marriage. In those days, her husband also started showing his proper form. When Reet's mother and father came to know about this, they asked Reet for divorce, but she refused. A daughter was born to Reet. She again gave birth to a daughter the following year. In the desire for a son, her husband descended to savagery. Her husband used to mistreat her. He had fallen into debauchery. His mother-in-law also supported his son. But she remained silent - probably because of the daughters. Somehow time started passing by. Eight years passed in no time.

Reet did not tell all these things at her home. She regretted her two decisions – one, marrying that person, and second, not agreeing to divorce. Things were going from bad to worse. Once suddenly, her health deteriorated. Because of Corona, no hospital was ready to admit her. After getting several tests done, it was found that there was some problem in the large intestine. Everyone felt that it would probably be the appendix. After a struggle of one and a half months, Reet was operated upon, and her life was saved. It was only in the hospital that her husband himself confessed his crime. He thought Reet to be asleep. Reet's health had deteriorated because of the poison her husband had given her. Her husband was taking someone else home as long as she was in the hospital. Reet's patience has broken. She decided to free herself and her husband from that coercive relationship. Everyone supported Reet in this decision. Her husband refused to give both the daughters.

It took some two to three months for Reet to control herself. Reet met Jot through social media. When Jot saw her picture, he was in awe of her.

Rit and Jot started talking. Reet began to connect well with him because Jot was also standing at the juncture of life at which Reet was. Jot was married to the daughter of his father's friend. His mother and father passed away during a car accident. Now Jot could not even emerge from that wound that his wife gave him another injury. It was only 34 days since his mother and father died, and his wife left him. She had also married, intending to establish her home abroad only. Jot's life had come to a standstill. He was utterly sole in his life.

Then Reet stepped into his life. Somewhere after hearing about his condition, Reet started feeling less sad. Both became sympathizers of each other and then decided to become companions. Both had not met each other, but love had happened. What is that love which is accepted by the world?

Everyone considered their love more compulsion than realization. Everyone had weighed their love on different scales. Jot had to face more difficulties because everyone doubted his intentions – because he was NRI. Reet's family was repeatedly making sure that their daughter was happy. He didn't want Jot to break her trust- otherwise, Reet would fail, this time so that she would not recover. And on top of that, they took even more precautions when there was a second marriage.

Jot and Reet's love passed all the tests. Rit is still ours, undefined Could not believe the luck that love would knock in his life like this. He got that love in the second marriage, which both had expected from their first marriage.
