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.
