"So you approached me without being aware of my identity?" He asks me, while raising an eyebrow. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. It takes me a while to compose myself and form a sensible reply. "Yes, I wasn't aware of your identity." "You might think you can fool me, but trust me, this has happened quite a few times before as well." He says with a very serious expression. I'm baffled by his accusation. This man has the audacity to question my intentions when he's the one trying to converse with me all along. I don't know what comes over me, but whenever I'm overwhelmed with anger, it turns into tears. And before I can compose myself, I taste the salty tears in my mouth. I take a few deep breaths, place the cup on the side table and get up to leave. "Thank you for your hospitality and your excellent assessment of my character. I will now take your leave." With that, I turn to head towards the door but he grabs my hand and pulls me towards him. Characters: Ameerah is a happy-go-lucky 23 year old who has recently graduated from med school. She is an optimist with quite a rosy view of the world. She is far from perfect. She has her faults; some she's aware of and others, not so much.

He's one of the youngest and most accomplished surgeon in town. To an outsider, his life would seem perfect. He's young, handsome, successful, rich and hails from one of the most respected families in the country. But life is not always what it seems to be. He has his own set of problems. As Our Holy Qur'an states Surah An-Nisa, Verse 28: Allah desires that He should make light your burdens, and man is created weak. Follow a story of trials and errors, to finding her path to love, and to Life.

"Aduh!" "Aw!" "Tak reti tengok depan ke?" "Eh, orang tengah sakit lah! Tak nampak ke?" Siapa sangka pertemuan yang tidak terlalu manis ini bakal menjadi permulaan wujudnya perasaan yang tidak terjangka. "Macam mana kau boleh suka dia ni?" "Entahnya, random betul" "Ish korang ni... Tak sokong aku lah" Adakah perasaan itu bakal terbalas... "Ayesha! dia ada awek lah!" atau tidak?

"Six years of living together," she sniffed. "One would think we'd know each other in all this time." "I know you," I whispered. My eyes were begging her not to leave. "No. You THINK you do, Nadir." That was the last thing she said before she was gone, with my wailing children in tow. ___ Nadir may not say it often, but he couldn't really live without Zaeb. But then again, there are a hundred unspoken promises and silent conversations between couples who have been married for as long as they had been. Only when her charming - and significantly loaded - childhood best friend entered their lives did Nadir realise that he should start saying some of them out loud. ...But maybe it was too late.
