[Jamaluddin Jamali]

He loves a girl, and she also loves him, but then she disappears, scared by his family's past. Now she doesn't want to marry him. A blast has exposed his family's hidden past, and she has seen its terrible face. 'I cannot carry the burden of your legacy,' she says, and adds, 'I'm sorry, Ahsen.'

The Sin of Killing: The Dance of Changing Winds takes you inside Pakistan, into its hidden backyard and shows how sometimes divorced women and young widows get locked up in the open-air prisons of the society with limited chances of escape, and how lovers are killed by the families only for being lovers.

Ahsen is making new memories to forget his past. His aunt and her daughter are also doing the same. They are a family, three souls in one body living together. Now his aunt is in America with her daughter. Ahsen is waiting for her return. He has news for her which can stop her heartbeat. Battling with the hidden past of his family, he wonders whether it will be right or wrong to give her the news. He loves her. She is his good second mother. His Aunt.

He loves his ex-classmate and wants to marry her. But now a blast has exploded his secret substructure, and everything is scattered around him, even his love. On the heap of so many things. Like questions. Nothing is in place anymore. Darkness has covered him from all sides like a blanket. The sins of his family have become his sins and he can't even say that he has nothing to do with anything. A tale of mismatched stars, finding new stars for living their lives, taking new start again and again. For happiness or escape. A tale of love, loyalty, betrayal, redemption, and new beginnings. It is literary fiction.
