There are three main characters in this story. Initially, they come together but eventually become separated, and reunite later on. The story follows their individual lives and occasionally shows one of the other characters in cameos. The story focuses on a single mother, her introverted son, and a third person who becomes an integral part of their family and their daily lives. The passage of time is quick throughout the narrative. It's a unique combination, and the story itself is also unique, exploring themes of love, expectations, hurt, hate, reunion, life challenges, and societal norms. It starts with a heartwarming tone but ends up with the reader's heart shattered.
