Two best friends. One buried love. One disastrous wedding. Forced into a nikkah born of pride and silence, Maryam and Rohail become husband and wife without ever confessing the feelings that ruined them. When Rohail leaves for LA, Maryam follows-quietly, bravely-only to sit in his classroom as his student, his wife, his unfinished past. Between resentment, proximity, and a love that refuses to stay buried, Qurb-e-Rang is a dark, slow-burn romance where closeness hurts more than distance-and every color of love bleeds.

She had spent years building a life for herself, steady and carefully controlled. As an architecture student in Birmingham, she understood how to create structures that could withstand pressure. What she never learned was how to protect herself from the things that couldn't be planned. He lived in London, successful, disciplined, and emotionally guarded. He trusted logic more than feelings and certainty more than vulnerability. Keeping people at a distance had always felt safer than letting them close enough to matter. They had known each other since childhood, though never in any meaningful way. For her, he had always been someone she noticed from afar, someone she cared about without expecting anything in return. For him, she was simply a familiar face from a distant past. Then grief changed everything. A loss neither of them was prepared for forced their lives together and left them trapped in a marriage neither had chosen. What should have been a beginning instead felt like an aftermath, built on obligation, expectations, and the weight of everything they had lost. Now they are two strangers sharing a life they never asked for. Between them is silence, unresolved emotions, and a history that feels both too distant and too close. They carry their grief differently, but it follows them into every conversation and every moment. At its heart, this is a story about two people learning how to exist beside one another when neither wants to be vulnerable. About the loneliness of loving someone who doesn't know it, and the fear of caring for someone when it feels too late. Most of all, it asks whether something born from heartbreak and obligation can grow into something genuine, or whether some foundations are too fractured to ever truly hold.

Qurb-e-Khamoshi (Book 2 in the Qurb Series) Closeness in Silence Saadi × Arij Arij is a storm-lively, reckless, impossible to ignore. She laughs like she owns the world, loves like it's a treasure she refuses to hide. Saadi, on the other hand, has been forced to grow up too soon. Childhood stolen by responsibilities, a life shaped by fear and duty, he learned early that emotions are dangerous-and love, even more so. He's guarded every feeling, buried every desire, afraid that letting anyone in will break him and that person further. Then Arij arrives, whirlwind and chaos, demanding more than he knows how to give. She challenges him, teases him, draws him close... and he recoils, rejecting the love he secretly longs for. He can't-he won't-give her the perfect life she deserves. And just when he thinks he can watch her from afar, a proposal lands in her lap. Someone else. And now the silence between them isn't peaceful-it's screaming. Promises made in fear. Heartbeats unspoken. And a closeness that doesn't need words... but might just demand everything.
