She whirls around like a breath of fresh air
Spreading smiles to all those around!

She is witty and also commanding - a combo
That's very rare to be found.


She has a sunny temperament
And sports a smile all day long.

She trudges on in life with extreme effort
And the belief that she is quite strong.


People look at her smile and see a common girl.
They overlook the desolateness in her eyes.

While each day she wars a battle within
And comforts herself by weaving a web of lies.


There is always an endless abyss inside her,
A hollowness which claws her heart out.

She yearns for a companion to lean on,
Someone to support her in times of drought!


Sadly, life has absolutely naught to offer
So she wipes her tears and gulps her sorrows away.

She gets up, dusts her back, prepares herself
To solely face another day.


You couldn't bully reality
And it would most definitely not comply.

It's upto you to understand that there is more to things
Than what just meets your eye!


Be careful not to get carried away
By the fake smile she most often wears.

In reality, the sunny glow of her smile
Only reflects the depth of her inner scars!

I walked down the dark hallway, my eyes scanning the rooms on my way.The door was slightly ajar as I reached the end of the hallway, my hands pushing the door open as I stepped in.Her sorrowful sobs reached my ears as I stared at her little form huddled in the corner of the dark room.Moonlight from the large window fell on her body as she continued to sob sitting on the floor. My stomach twisted in a bad way seeing her like this.A pain seared at the bottom of my heart as she hiccuped making me move towards her.I sat on the floor near her silently, not saying a word.She noticed my appearance as she stiffened for a fraction of second.Her cries had stifled as we sat in the dark with moonlight showering over us. "He had broken me into so many piece that it will take a life time to collect all.He ripped me apart from my soul, from my self respect making me crumble to the ground like ash.."Her hoarse yet soft voice resonated around the room making me turn my eyes to her beautiful face. "I have nothing left of myself.Nothing."She sounded defeated.But I didn't like hearing those words from her.It killed me to listen the bitter words she swallowed each time she spoke. *** She unintentionally stumbles in his life, stealing every fiber of his body.He wishes to make her his but destiny has other plans. As they smiled at each other little did they know that after this they were not going to smile again.It's a story not just about two broken people but with of a girl and boy who's hearts had turned Black.Striving to hold on to living and trying to move on with life will they be able to meet their Red again or will they fall apart along with time.

Zahra and Hamza. Hamza and Zahra. It was no simple task for their names to be heard side by side. For their story was a complicated one. A sorrowful one. One that was full of longing. ZAHRA is haunted by the demons of her past, and the what-ifs of the future. A seventeen year old girl tasked with caring for her family when her mother leaves; she has to juggle her responsibilities towards her family; her studies; and, her deen. Crying every night on the prayer mat seems to be the norm for Zahra now. She's drowning, and no one can see it. To fall in love would be impossible for a person in her position, but that's ok since she seemed to loathe the concept anyway. More than hate...she feared love. HAMZA is complicated. After moving back to his old home town, he is faced with the one who he could never forget. And how could he? Her crying face is permanently etched in his mind, she plagues his dreams and thoughts, and constant what-ifs are on the tip of his tongue. What if he did something differently, and maybe his and her life could have gone a lot differently. When they both come face to face with each other, emotions are at an all-time high, memories are bound to resurface, and the past they both desperately tried to bury may be coming up to the surface. Now, they both must make a choice. To bury or be buried. Add in confusing family members, mysterious new guys, shocking secrets and crazy plot twists, cute friendships, and heart wrenching moments. A girl on deen, a boy on deen, and a world desperate to keep them apart. But, my dear reader, these are souls that were written to be together. Everything that happens is with the qadr (will) of Allah. Nothing, and no one could stop what He has planned for Zahra and Hamza. WARNING: this story is not for the faint-hearted...you may cry. MAIN CHARACTERS ARE MUSLIM AND PAKISTANI

Disclaimer: This is a dark romance. You will not agree with the way the main characters proceed about things or severely hate the male character. Keep in mind that the couple remains toxic for a really long time. There are elements of verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse as well as themes of abandonment. //// "Go to sleep, Rubina." He demanded softly, noticing the way her hands seemed to shiver in the cold, her eyes lost as she stared at her empty palms. "I can't. I need to go see Amma, give her the medicine, change-!" He shook his head, his voice quivering as he cupped her face. "What about you, Angel? Who's going to take care of you?" The confusion that settles over her eyes is what undoes the last of his barriers, bringing shame down on every crevice of his skin. Her voice is oddly quiet when she says, "No one." /// Rubina "Nina" Tahir knew no limits when it came to love. She loved openly, wholeheartedly. Her kindness knew no bounds but rather seeped from the cracks between her fingers. Wherever Nina went, color followed. Until Omair. Omair who was so stoic, so cold that he seemed to freeze Nina's world. Omair who didn't want any of Nina's love, scooping it up in his palms just to return it to her aching heart. Omair who she had loved more than anything, more than laughter, more than color, more than herself. Right as Nina prepares to give up on a man she had loved for ages, her world falls apart, cracking at the seams, leaving her defenseless. And all she has now is a man in repentance and a life that is too far away.

" A wistful smile appeared on her face, "But That's impossible now. You know It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return, But what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.

Craving for someone else's presence when I'm present in his life. It's too late for a second chance, although I'd love to know where we'd have been, If only we had tried....But unfortunately...

"Listen to me Qurratul Ayn, before you go, I want to know; did I ever offend you? Is my love for you too little?" I can feel his hand hovering over mine. He wants to hold it, but he knows better than to do that. "Please, I don't want to do this now. My flight is in thirty minutes." I can feel the tears wetting my Niqab. "No! I want to know. Where did I go wrong? Was it money? I didn't feed you well? I didn't clothe you? My love wasn't enough for you? I need to know, all those years! You're seriously willing to throw them away like they were nothing?" A sob breaks out but I manage to hide it behind a cough. I take a silent deep breath and turn, my Niqab swaying and making a whip sound. "It's not like, they really were nothing! Look, I don't have it in me to explain myself. You said you'd give me whatever I want? Then leave me be. I never loved you okay! I never did, it was all a sham, a facade!" His hand that was looming over mine falls limp beside him and he staggers back. "You're lying." He laughs. It's as if he's trying to convince himself. I scoff. "You think so? Well take a look at this." His eyes fill with tears and he takes one of his hands and place it on his mouth. He can't believe that it's actually true. "Okay, Fa'iza." My heart breaks. He never calls me that, ever. "I know something is wrong, and wallahi I'm going to find it out and bring you back to my house in six months. I promise." I feel my heart squeeze knowing his promise can never come to pass, ever. Death is nearing me so nothing can be done. Absolutely nothing. * Ten years of loving, doting over each other and marriage, Fa'iza upped and suddenly said she wanted out of the marriage. After months of persuasion and blackmail, Bello let her go, but before she left, he made a promise. Would he be able to fulfill this promise? STARTED: COMPLETED:
