I've always played by the rules.
I've gone to school and finished, primary and secondary school, and college with perfect attendance. I've always taken my religion seriously — despite the world of temptations that surround me. I've always prayed on time, and cried only to my Lord, the makers of the heavens and skies with sincerity.
Then I started university and came along Hassan.
And I strayed. I gave into temptation and I ended up giving him my heart and falling in love.
He was kind, smart and generous. He came from a good family. Our upbringings were different. He was everything I wanted in a husband. Just as I was going home to talk to my parents, I came home to the news that sent my whole world crashing.
My parents had already found out about Hassan through a family friend and I was set to marry a business associate of my father's once I graduated.
Saif Khan comes into my life like a wrecking ball, threatening to destroy the carefully planned future I had been dreaming of with another man.
Is the future life I had planned with him still within reach? And even more importantly, does my heart still want the future I planned with him?
