Laila gives birth to children while Mariam remains childless from "summary" of A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

Laila, young and vibrant, basks in the joys of motherhood, her children filling her days with laughter and love. The pitter-patter of little feet and the sound of childish giggles echo through her home, a constant reminder of the beautiful life she has created. Each day brings new adventures and challenges, but Laila embraces them all with a fierce determination and unwavering love for her children. Mariam, on the other hand, remains childless, her womb forever empty despite her longing for a child of her own. She watches from the sidelines as Laila's belly swells with new life, her heart heavy with a deep sense of loss and longing. The pain of her childlessness weighs heavily on her, a constant reminder of the cruel hand fate has dealt her. As Laila's children grow and thrive, Mariam's world becomes smaller and lonelier. She finds solace in her memories, in the fleeting moments of joy she shared with her beloved Nana and her brief happiness with Rasheed. But even these memories cannot fill the void left by the absence of children in her life. Despite their diverging paths, Laila and Mariam find solace in each other's company. Their bond, forged through hardship and loss, remains unbreakable, a beacon of light in the darkness that surrounds them. They share their joys and sorrows, their hopes and dreams, finding strength in each other's presence. And so, the contrast between Laila's fruitful womb and Mariam's barren one serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of life, of the twists and turns that fate can take. While Laila's children bring her immeasurable joy, Mariam's childlessness serves as a constant shadow, a reminder of the dreams left unfulfilled and the paths not taken.
