She's always lived within the boundaries set for her, but Kiran makes her question everything. Is love worth the fight when the whole world seems against it?

I WAS NOT ME ANYMORE Silence can protect you. But it can also slowly erase you. Mawar never imagined that love would lead her into a life where her voice no longer belonged to her. Leaving Indonesia behind, she steps into a new world, a Pakistani joint family bound by tradition, expectation, and unspoken rules. At first, it feels like warmth, like belonging. But over time, that warmth begins to suffocate. Her role as a mother is questioned. Her identity slowly fades. And the silence she once chose for peace becomes a prison she cannot escape. When the cracks begin to show, they don't just break her, they reach her children. One daughter withdraws into a world of fear and quiet pain. Another learns to survive through anger and violence. And Mawar is left with a question no mother should ever have to face: How do you protect your children... when the danger lives inside the family? In a story of love, betrayal, culture, and survival, I Was Not Me Anymore is a deeply personal journey of a woman who must decide between keeping the peace... or saving herself and her children. Because sometimes, walking away is not weakness. Sometimes, it is the only way to survive.

Short love stories which may or may not have happy endings

One scarred heart. One fake marriage. One unexpected chance at love. When thirty-year-old Leila, a devout and quiet Moroccan woman, moves to China to teach English, she carries more than just a suitcase-she carries the scars of a childhood fire, the sting of rejection, and her mother's cruel words echoing in her mind. To keep her job and visa, she agrees to a fake marriage with Chen Wei, a wealthy, aloof Chinese man haunted by the loss of his brother. They live in separate rooms. Speak cautiously. Pretend for the world. But behind closed doors, misunderstandings, quiet moments, and shared pain begin to stitch a fragile bond between them. As government inspections, emotional wounds, and cultural gaps threaten to unravel their arrangement, Leila's faith and Chen Wei's growing admiration for her strength ignite something neither of them expected-hope. Can two broken souls find home in each other? In the shadows of grief, sometimes the heart finds light where it was never looking.

Karl Conner was black. Sonoko Yan was Japanese. Black + Asian=Blasian. But that equation caused a cultural clash for Karl and Sonoko. Sonoko's mom Hikari didn't want them to be together. At an early age, young Asian women were groomed to marry within their culture or to marry a white man to maintain their status quo. That was what Hikari did. It was irrelevant that Karl was a star running back at Duke High School who maintained a 4.0 GPA. Even though Karl was a nice guy, what mattered to Hikari was he was black. Sonoko's stepfather Paul had an arrogance about him. He was taught by his parents that whites were the superior race. It was a generational thing and he believed it to his very core. Would Paul and Hikari go to any extreme to keep Karl and Sonoko apart? Like kidnapping Karl and hiding him out in an old warehouse? Was hate stronger than love? Or love stronger than hate? Which would triumph?

So, here I am finally trying to write the book of my dreams...after ignoring it for a while now.... His Instagram bio says "To live a character myself..to be in future novels"...that's what driven me to actually write about us...about him...about how love actually feels...and love don't really care about the differences and obstacles and makes its way straight into our lives.. For what it's worth...here it goes...... She's a sharp-tongued pharmacy student, 5'2" with big glasses and even bigger dreams.... mostly of boarding a flight far away from societal pressures, small talk, and suffocating traditions. He's a 6'3" aspiring actor, effortlessly confident, with a face made for the screen and a smile that could wreck her focus faster than any pharmacology exam. In their world, love like theirs is already a mistake....judged before it's even understood. They were supposed to be classmates. Maybe casual acquaintances. But fate, friendship, and a few stolen glances had other plans. Set against the backdrop of white coats, cultural expectations, secret texts, and impossible timing.... this is a slow-burn, long-haul love story about two people who were never supposed to fit together... but did anyway. Because some stories aren't written in destiny....they're written in defiance. Love wasn't part of the syllabus. But maybe... just maybe, it's the only subject they can't fail. But what happens when reality catches up - and love has to choose between heart and home?
