One Step Too Far

Growing together from childhood, this couple nurtures their ambitions in their own unique, and in distinctly different ways, from each other. He is peace loving, recognising his limits and working within the boundaries of his ability. She, on the other hand, is revolutionary and believes that 'any means' may be used to achieve ambitions. She works tirelessly helping the underprivileged at the cost to her own and her family's comfort. She stepped on the ladder of achieving her goals by 'any means' early in life and finally reaches the top step when in pursuit of her ambitions. She paid a price: a price she wouldn't have wished. A price no one could imagine, no one deserved. With the prospects of completing an innovative project, he too, gives into temptation: prioritises his own interests over everyone else's and embarks on a course that brings nothing less than turmoil, in abundance, to his life and to the lives of those he loved. Thus, he paid a price as high as the magnitude of his ambitions. They love each other, even though they're travelling on parallel lines most of their lives. On these separate paths, they travel through vast deserts of loneliness to bring comfort to others. These lines do cross and bring them close only to be pulled apart by the magnetic forces of their ambitions.
