A quick warning: You might get bored with the special mentions and afterwords - so if you do, just skip it and go to the last part that includes details of Part 1.5 and the new book I am starting. Don't you dare skip that, okay? xD

So finally, with 58117 words, 190 pages on word, 71 pages on wattpad, and 286 pages if you look at the normal published book size, the story has ended. It has been a long journey and I am overwhelmed because it has ended. It hasn't really sunk in - It's as if nothing has changed and I'll still be writing about Daniya and about Haris till midnight. But it has changed and ultimately, the book has ended and the fact that I won't be writing it anymore makes me sad.
Enough with the emotional part - I'd like to give special mentions to all those fans that encouraged me throught out and all those writers whose works inspired me:
