✨️Coming soon... in a few months!!!✨️ A story about quiet loneliness, unexpected family, chaotic friendships, and a girl who learned how to live without asking for more. But sometimes, life brings back the people you stopped expecting. And sometimes, strangers share your blood. Alizay Raima Alamgir is seventeen, and her world has always been small, quiet, and carefully held together. She lives with her paternal grandparents in a house filled with warm meals, protective prayers, and gentle love. They spent years trying to fill the emptiness left behind by others, yet some spaces in her life remained untouched. She has seen her parents her whole life, but never truly known them. Her memories are made of glowing screens, paused smiles, and photographs that looked more like performances than family. Her mother chose a life far away, while her father stayed distant, unable to build a bond with the daughter who reminded him too much of a past he could never forget. And then there are her half brothers. Older, unfamiliar, living lives that never included her. To them, she is simply their father's daughter. Nothing more. So Alizay grew up in a smaller world by choice. Relatives stayed distant. Cousins became strangers. Her life settled quietly into a safe circle made of her grandparents, her best friends Zeeniya and Sana, and herself. That was enough. Until the house begins to fill again. One by one, relatives arrive with laughter, noise, and unfamiliar familiarity. And then the people she has only ever known from a distance finally step into her reality. Her father. Her brothers. Not through a screen, but standing right in front of her. And for the first time, Alizay finds herself caught between being a stranger and belonging to a family she never truly had.

✨️Mah-e-Noor: Between Love and Loneliness✨️ She was once the princess of the Malik family-spoilt, rebellious, and fearless. Hemayal Mah-e-Noor Malik grew up in a world where limits didn't exist, where tantrums were forgiven, and mistakes were hidden. But one argument, one careless decision, and everything she knew shattered. At fifteen, she was sent away to boarding school, abandoned by the family she loved, misunderstood by the people who mattered most. Now, more than four years later, Hemayal is called back home. Her grandmother misses her. Her siblings fear she hasn't changed. The cousins whisper, and the house that once adored her waits for the chaos she once brought. But Hemayal is not the same girl who left. The years away have taught her lessons she never wanted to learn. The girl who once demanded the world has almost lost herself-and now she must face the family she left behind. Will they see the change in her, or will the past always define her? A story of mistakes, loss, and the painful journey of growing up... of becoming someone you never thought you could. (Originally published on 20th October 2025 Republished on 23rd April 2026)
