Aira never wanted romance. She wanted residency, respect, and a life built on faith - not fantasy. Until a rain-soaked night shift introduced her to Dr. Zayan Mirza, the man who looked composed but held chaos in his chest. Their love grows not in haste, but in softness - chai shared at 3 A.M., stolen glances across ECG monitors, duas whispered instead of confessions. When Nikkah comes, it isn't the climax - it's the beginning. This is not a love story where hearts fall recklessly. It's where two souls fall correctly. A gentle Muslim romance with hospital nights, shy smiles, and a forever built one prayer at a time.

Reviews: "The concept behind this story really intrigued me, since I don't really know a lot about the Muslim religion. The novel gives a great representation and explanation to the religion, even to those who aren't necessarily a part of it.'' ''I found it hard to put down, the characters were very realistic to read about and resembled real people I felt I could root for throughout the entire story. My overall favourite had to be Muhammad because of all the depth and devotion you placed into his character. '' ''Grammatically, I didn't really find any errors, which is both an impressive feat and something you should be proud of. I have to complain to a lot of authors for dialogue that seems like it's forced and unnatural, but your story's dialogue made me feel like I was right there as your characters were talking. Overall, a wonderful work that definitely deserved first place at The Dreamer Awards." First published on Saturday 17/6/17 / 7 PM Last published on Saturday 18/11/17 / 3:59 PM
