brought up with. So he is determined to give a better life to himself and his family. He works hard and

but his dream to come true. So he proposed to her and they got married to each other. He hadn't still
divorced his previous wife and was already planning to start a new life with his new-found love. He was
happy this time because she can conceive and his dream of having a family was going to come true.

parents starts resenting him and slowly breaks all the ties with him. Drowned in his sorrows and despairs
suicidal thoughts starts appearing inside his mind. Slowly and gradually he starts falling into the pit of
depression that engulfs him completely.

surprise visitor. He gets up to look around and finds his first wife crying and looking at him.
He slowly gets better and decides that he is going to turn around his life by becoming a good person.
A few months later, he calls his first wife and tells her that he wants to meet her and make things right
with her. He also reaches out to his second wife and asks for forgiveness and promises any help to give
her a good life. He plans to meet with his first wife and takes a taxi. He is on the way when a lorry loses

level of excitement is like two lovers seeing each other after a long time. Happy memories flash in front
