The Forgotten Covenant

It had been about two years since “Leila” went to America for her studies. Her sister “Fariba” got married and was having her second child. One day, while Leila wanted to write a letter to Fariba in the college library, she met “Ardeshir,” an Iranian student. It had been about ten years since he and his family had come to America. They were from a wealthy family who had emigrated to America encouraged by an old friend of his father. The father’s friend had a daughter named “Farnaz,” and both families, including Farnaz herself, wanted Ardeshir to marry her. However, Ardeshir considered Farnaz like a sister and was not interested in the marriage. After seeing Leila, he became interested in her and decided to convince his family to accept his marriage to Leila. This decision affected the life paths of both of them.
