Is this Your Story?

Marrying to a New Family?

When her marriage failed after 10 years due to physical abuse and betrayal, Maya found it hard to trust and love another man again until she met Salim, a divorcee with one daughter. They decided to get married and Salim moved into Maya’s house. His kind-hearted and caring nature won the hearts of her two children and elderly parents. Likewise, her soft-spoken nature and motherly attitude won the heart of Salim’s teenage daughter. At Maya’s house, Salim’s daughter enjoys having step-siblings to talk to and she also enjoys Maya’s and Nenek’s home-cooked meals as well as doing prayers in congregation with Atok as the Imam.

Maya owes her happiness to her parents who have been her main pillar towards her decision to remarry and she feels grateful to get the moral support to rebuild her life again.

Does the above sound familiar to you? Or, does such happily-ever-after remarriage happen only in storybooks and drama serials?
