The Day Death Let Me Live

Dira and Arka never chose to become husband and wife. Their marriage happened because of a debt of gratitude that left Arka with no choice but to marry Dira. There was no love between them, only an obligation that slowly turned into a relationship filled with distance, coldness, and misunderstandings. To Arka, Dira was a woman who knew only how to ask for things. To Dira, Arka was the only person she could turn to whenever her family needed money again. Every time her family asked for money, Dira became the go-between. She would go to Arka, deliver their request, and then endure her husband's cold gaze and cutting words.
