Poems

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a husband. Wait, that's not quite right. Malak, for one thing, does not have a good fortune, at least not the finanial kind. Still, she always felt like she had it all, though some would argue that point, especially distant relatives. But she just made tenure, upgraded to Yamaha bike with that bonus check, and most importantly, the adoption process has been finalized and she was the proud mother of the 15 year old Noor, after fostering for five years. But most people back home, all they can see is a established but single Muslim woman in her 30s in desperate need of a man, who doesn't put enough effort to get married, and selfishly chose to have a child on her own. Over the years, she's avoided potential blind dates like cooked meat on Eid morning, and deep down, she wasn't sure she could get past her belief that love and marriage weren't in her 'qadar' file. Still, nothing is ever as it seems, and when it comes to love, Malak knows better than most, that it is best not to be blind.

A new dimension has been added to the weekly 'prompt' word challenge - to produce a Drabble - an exactly 100 word 'flasher' using the word as intelligently as possible. This proves quite a task for some of us... but many of us truly enjoy this trumpet call invitation to search our imaginations and lift our pens... AGAIN! But why this strange title, you well may ask? It's dictionary meaning as a noun, is - a number or quantity increased a hundredfold. Hmm... sounds about right for this particular process of bringing meaning to a single word - but absolutely only up to the magical exact 100 words. (**NB: Title not included in word count)

This is the story of a girl who chose silence, but never surrender. They called her quiet. Cold. Too proud to bend. No one saw the fire she hid behind lowered eyes. No one remembered the day her stitched dreams were burned to ashes. Now years later, she returns. Not to argue. Not to explain. But to build. Behind her stillness is calculation. Behind her elegance is ambition. Behind her name... is another name the world is slowly beginning to whisper. Between family politics, rural power games, gossiping aunties, wounded pride, and a tiger cub that follows her like a shadow... there is also a man who watches her like a puzzle he cannot solve. He was meant to challenge her. Instead, he finds himself watching her rise. This is not just a love story. It is the story of a girl who stitched her own wings from the very bars meant to cage her.

Sous l'emprise du KHAPTAL Un mal invisible rôde dans les silences et les regards, se nourrit de jalousie, de rancunes familiales et du non-dit des proches. Il frappe sans prévenir, transforme les vies ordinaires en cauchemars silencieux et consume les âmes. Certains deviennent fous malgré eux, d'autres sont brisés, humiliés ou marginalisés par ceux qu'ils aiment. Parfois, le pire n'est pas le sort, mais ce que les hommes et les femmes deviennent après.
