For Laila, love is devotion-every breath steeped in the remembrance of God. For Aamir love is a storm, untamed and distant from the faith she holds so close. Together they burn, fierce and unyielding, yet fragile under the weight of unspoken fears. When the truth of Laila's infertility strikes, their bond begins to wither in silence, every moment testing the limits of patience, faith, and desire. And then, one night, her soft voice broke the silence, echoing through the hollow of her own heart: "Aapko dusri shaadi kar leni chahiye." What once felt like freedom becomes a chain. What once was worship becomes a trial. This is their Qaid-e-Ishq-a love so fierce it binds, a faith so fragile it breaks.

They were an ordinary couple in an ordinary world-two people stitched together by family expectations, uncertain dreams, and the quiet hope that love would be enough. Nandini came from a modest middle-class home, raised to believe in patience, sacrifice, and the gentle power of silence. Manik, steady and determined, carried the weight of responsibility from the moment he learned what it meant to provide and protect. Their marriage was not the dramatic kind sung about in films-no grand gestures, no fairy-tale promises. It was a story built in the bit-by-bit rhythm of real life. There were mornings when the world felt full of warmth, when laughter echoed in narrow rooms and the smell of fresh paranthas made the home feel soft and safe. There were nights, too, when exhaustion settled heavy, when words cut sharp, and when silence stretched longer than comfort allowed. They learned to fall, and they learned to rise. To break, and to rebuild. To hold on, even when it would have been easier to let go. This is their journey-of love that grew not from perfection, but from persistence. Of dreams that survived through struggle. Of a marriage that found meaning in the spaces between storm and calm. And like the rain that washes a tired city clean, every beginning came quietly-soft, trembling, and hopeful. This is where their story starts. ‼️ The following work contains explicit sexual content and mature themes. It is intended for an adult audience only. Please read responsibly.

Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. ***** THE JACKSONS BOOK #1 © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
