For example one of the main characters in this novel is a women who takes a role of a young girl who later in her life becomes a prostitute who then is taken to jail because of the bad life she has lived leads her to her actions of self destruction. In this novel Firdaus escaped from a man who she was forced to marry who would physically and sexually abused her. When Firdaus escapes she encountered herself with another man in a coffee shop who seemed different from all the other men she had meet but later on that same men who offered Firdaus to help her would also abuse her but not only he would abuse Firdaus but would take other men to abuse Firdaus the same way he and her husband done.
