The Struggle: Between My Heart and My Brain

By Mehr Bani

It is a story about a girl who stumbles upon love and finds that her heart and brain are no longer in tandem with each other. It is a regular love story but not so regular narration as it is relayed directly by a hu'wo'man brain that invariably cannot remain simple. The conversation between this girl, the protagonist, and the boy she loves is typical like any modern-day love story, but the parallel conversation she is having between her heart and brain is rather unique. The story weaves both these conversation together and proceeds to a point when the decision to marry for love or to marry for honor can no longer be avoided. She questions if love is actually what everyone claims it is or is it just a figment of imagination. The suspense in the story is as predictable as a woman's mind, which follows a pattern but denies its path. Like all relationships, this story also follows a predictable journey--admiration, fondness, admittance, love, dependence, expectation, complaint, compliance, and immediately after, more complaint. However, whether the two settle in love or in an arranged settlement is for the reader to find out.
