Becoming is a coming-of-age novel that follows two lovers who meet as students at a prestigious university, filled with ambition and hope for the future. She dreams beyond the cultural and familial expectations pressing down on her—expectations that demand marriage and stability over growth and independence. Instead, she chooses a path of education and purpose, eventually moving to Harvard to pursue a dual degree in public health and medicine, determined to challenge the political structures that govern healthcare. She later becomes health minister.

Meanwhile, he remains behind, drifting from the person he once aspired to be. As she builds her future, he struggles with sobriety and the collapse of his own ambitions. Years later, curiosity and nostalgia lead her to find his Instagram profile. With a tentative "Hi, how are you? I don’t know if you remember…" she reaches out, reopening a chapter that never fully closed.

Spanning continents, ideologies, and inner transformations, Becoming is a story about identity, resilience, and the sometimes painful, sometimes beautiful path to becoming who we are meant to be.
