As a Muslim girl, marriage is one of Safia's biggest dreams. All her life she kept herself pure for her faith and her future husband. Although having never had experienced love, and occasionally doubting whether she will, Safia feels herself growing impatient being single. She then sends her family to search for 'the one.' Trusting her family, she decides to say yes to the first person her family finds for her. She believes she will get married and face all her problems with her husband by her side. Is it really as simple as that? Yusuf feels a void in his heart. He tries to deny it, but he knows his mother's not proud of him. He knows she wishes he could be a little more modern like his brother. He wanted his family to find him a wife while he could focus on his deen (faith), but his idea of a wife clashes with his mother's. Seeing that his family were struggling to find him someone he likes, he decides to take matters into his own hands. But is he rushing into decisions without thinking?

"Alex" he breathed out in a deep voice- so quietly as if he was scared that I would vanish in thin air. My mouth opened and closed on its own accord. I was unable to form any reply. Suddenly the look of relief, happiness and probably love in his eyes changed to anger, betrayal and sadness. Zach narrowed his eyes at me. Tears welled up in my eyes. I tried my best not to break down in the middle of my first day, but it was hard. I nearly lost all hope of ever seeing him and I tried to bury all my feelings for him deep inside me four years before, but it was IMPOSSIBLE. I never forgot a thing about him as much as I tried to. And I knew that I still loved him that much, if not more. **************************************************************************************************************************************************** This is a story of a guy and a girl.
