This story follows the lives of two prestigious Northern families-one that earned its place, and one that can't afford to lose it. Salma Babajo-skillfully veiled, conflicted, and fiercely proud-has always idolized her father. But he lives by one rule: if you burn the midnight oil to secure something, you hold onto it by hook or by crook. Salma wears her last name like a badge, oblivious to the cracks beneath; until the secrets start to surface. Kabir Yabo is everything Salma is not-reserved, steady, and willing to bend to societal expectations. He tiptoes through life, careful not to step out of line. They have nothing in common... except for a fate neither of them sees coming. But what happens when the perfect son collides with the girl who plays by her own rules? And when what's expected threatens to overpower what's real? Will they fight to protect the illusion they were raised to uphold-or risk everything for a love that was never part of the plan?

Hanan believed her life was messed up! Growing up into a home which she didn't feel she belonged, her only wish was for everything to be perfect-or at least better. When she met Hafeez, he seemed to embody her idea of the perfect life, making up for all the things that were absent in her life, her ideal "Happily Ever After." But he wasn't. And delving into his world-with promises of a love so full but flawed, along with the dreams she could pick right from the palm of his hand-he offered her what "messed up" truly looked like. And she's left with no other option than to forgo the idea of forever, and all that's left now is an achingly "Never After"

Raihan managed to reach his room, though the short walk from the sitting room felt like a journey through fog. He was lightheaded, his vision dimming like a flickering candle. As he fumbled through his backpack, searching for his pills, everything around him darkened. At first, he thought NEPA had taken the light, but when his body collided with the cold, hard tiles, he knew better he was about to faint. Falling into unconsciousness felt like slipping into water with no bottom. The slow loss of his senses-hearing, sight, breath-was terrifying. He had never died before, but maybe death wasn't as loud and dramatic as people imagined. Was this how it happened? Quietly? Alone? Would they find him by morning, when he didn't show up for breakfast? Or maybe later? Thoughts ran wild as he finally surrendered to the creeping darkness.

Not to mention, family members that do not understand the concept of minding their business. At work, she's the perfect doctor. At home, she's the adoptive child her extended family detest. And in the middle of the night, she's trapped in nightmares from her past which she can't seem to escape. When they recieve a VIP guest at work, she fully intends to stay clear of his path. That seemed to backfire when a certain man in the name of Dr. Aslam Muhammad choose to appear in her life that very moment. By Ferdeausee_
