Dear Kulsum✅

Assalamu alaikum.

Thank you for checking out and reading DEAR KULSUM.

I know I left a lot of unanswered questions when I ended the book so OBVIOUSLY, there will be a sequel titled 'WITH LOVE, ZAYN'. I haven't started working on it yet though so I can't promise you the day it'll come.

DEAR KULSUM is downright the most emotional book I've ever written in my entire life. I was literally crying while writing chapter 24 and 25. I cried the most in 25 and so I was sniffing and wiping my tears whilst typing. I'm naturally an emotional person but this just...God I have no words.

It took me two months to write this book and briefly edit it. Actually, it took one month and three weeks.

I started it on 19 November 2020 and wrapped it up officially on the 7 January 2021 though I still have to edit it afterwards.

I didn't want this book to be just like every other book on Wattpad so I hope you learnt something from this book.

There are actually people like Kulsum in real life who though seemingly have everything in life, they lack the simple things that matter.

There are people like Sabrina who will never change even though they feel the death of the person they envy.

There are friends like Salma who betray you. Those kind of friends are the type that don't really love you from the beginning so it's easy for them to betray you.

There are parents like Mr. and Mrs. Abdullah Danbatta who believe that all their children need is money. That as long as they provide money for their children, they won't yearn for anything. In simple words, they believe money is the most important thing.

There are politicians like Mr. Abdullah Danbatta who will chose their image over their children though he changed at the end but still.

There are husbands like Aasim who ignore their families. Men who put their dreams before anything else.

There are people like Aasim's family who support their son and not care about the wife and children.

There are people like Laura who suffer and have husbands who are addicts. People like her who wanted to abort their children simply because life is 'unfair to them' and that 'they have too much to handle'.

There are teenagers like Hayra who end up in rehab at such a young age.

So yes, I tried to share so many messages through this book.

Who sent Kulsum all those messages? What happened to her son? How did she lose him? Where is he now? Is he alive or dead? How did Laura find him? What happened to Hayra? What is her story? Is she dead or alive? Will Sabrina marry Hanif? What happens to Salma? What happens to Aasim? And most importantly, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ZAYN?

Like I said, SO MANY QUESTIONS which will all be answered in 'With Love, Zayn' in shaa Allah.

AND JUST A LITTLE HEADSUP, I do not know if you have any reason to go inot the use of drugs and neither I nor anyone has teh right to judge you but you will only harm yourself by doing so. So, please do not ruin your life like that,

Speacial thanks to ammielo who encouraged me to continue writing this book. If not for her i don't think i would've been able to finish it and actually get the courage to share it with y'all.

Of course, i can't forget HassanAmiina and amiinahnda who motivated me right from teh beginning with their constructive criticism when i started this book. If not for the  reviews they gave me i would've ditched this long ago and it'll be just like the other book that will live in my draft for eternity.

Then there's my partner Rahma_writes  who's the reason why this book came to life.

And that officially brings us to the end of 'Dear Kulsum'. I hope it taught you a lesson or two. See you in book two.

Love, Jannah❤
