Nimrah had spent years trying to rebuild herself.
A new school. A new routine. A quieter, more disciplined heart. She had left behind the mistakes of her past - the time when she was young, naïve, and led astray by Saif, falling into a sin that marked her more deeply than she ever expected. Her repentance had been sincere, her intention firm. She wanted nothing more than to rise again with dignity and faith.
For a while, she believed she had succeeded.
Until the day she met Kadin's eyes across a crowded corridor.
It lasted only a heartbeat, a silent moment no one else would think twice about. But something shifted inside her - not the reckless pull she once felt, but a gentler, quieter ache she didn't know how to name. She tried to lower her gaze, tried to remind herself of the boundaries she had promised Allah she would keep.
Yet the feeling lingered.
No matter how hard she fought it, Kadin stayed in her heart like a test she hadn't prepared for. He wasn't part of her plans. He wasn't someone she sought out. But he became the reminder that even a reformed heart is still human, still vulnerable, still learning.
Meanwhile, Saif- the boy who knew the version of her she wished she could forget - was never far from her shadows. And the past had a way of resurfacing when she least wanted it to.
Nimrah thought she had left her old life behind.
She thought she had mastered herself.
But hearts are strange things, easily stirred, easily tempted, and sometimes painfully slow to obey.
In this journey of faith, guilt, and guarded feelings, When My Heart Forgot the Rules follows a girl striving to stay on the path of Allah - even as her heart becomes the battlefield she never expected.
