Maat

The tale of two sisters; one being of a conniving nature while the other being honest and pure and how they conduct themselves when faced by life’s various challenges. The story revolves around the characters of two sisters, Saman and Aiman. Saman is a beautiful yet highly self-centered girl who has always been pampered and spoiled by everyone around her. Vanity, conceit and arrogance are shown to be the powerful traits that rule her personality, which fuel her false assumption to deserve every good thing in life. Her sister Aiman on the other hand is not as pretty as Saman, but has a heart of gold. She keeps on sacrificing for her sister out of love but Saman always takes Aiman for granted. At one point Saman’s selfishness exceeds all limits as she uses her beauty to steal Aiman’s financially successful fiancée blatantly. Aiman endures this gracefully and convinces her mother to fulfill her sister’s desire. Saman is least bothered about her sister’s feelings as usual and gets married to Aiman’s fiancée Saad. Despite the rejection Aiman is content with her life. After a few years, Saman shocks the family once again by deciding to leave Saad without any apparent reason and does not seem to give heed to the fact that she has a son now. The family makes frequent unsuccessful efforts for the patch up, but to no avail as Saman succeeds in getting a divorce. She marries Saad’s business partner, with whom she has had an extramarital affair. Consequently, Aiman gets married to her former fiancée Saad just to find out that he is still in love with Saman. She makes futile efforts to calm and console him but after realizing the extent of his displeasure with her, she now shifts her focus to Hadeed, her nephew whom she cares for like her own child. She raises him with love and affection and Hadeed is as close to her as he could have been with his real mother. During this period, Samans name has disappeared from all their lives and Saad’s financial status starts improving as his business soars. Hadeed grows up to become a fine gentleman and enlists in the police force. While everything is going well and Aiman is planning to get Hadeed married, another mishap is awaiting her life. Saman’s second husband dies and she being extremely selfish as always, starts contacting Saad again. Aiman feels a tinge of strangeness in both Saad and Hadeed’s behavior but cannot deduce the real reason. She falsely assumes that Hadeed had started meeting Saman and wants her back in their lives. To make matters worse Saad divorces Aiman who leaves his house despaired and heartbroken. A stranger gives her shelter and she starts living with his family. After a while Hadeed who had been madly searching for Aiman manages to find her who uses her frustration to retaliate with him, at first. He takes her back and she comes to know the fact that Hadeed was the one who was against the reunion of Saman into their lives and fought for Aiman till the end. After sometime, Hadeed gets married and severs every contact with his biological parents. Despite Aiman’s insistence on his reconciliation with them Hadeed refuses and punishes them for their selfishness. At this stage, Saman comes to realize that it was not her charisma and beauty that used to attract everything towards her, instead it was her loved ones’ sacrifice(s) and affection that she kept on manipulating. In the end it is depicted that while Aiman lives a peaceful and content life with Hadeed and his family, loneliness ultimately engulfs Saman and Saad forcing them to reap what they have sown all their lives
