I asked, pushing his hand away. He raised his both hands in the air as defense and tucked them away in his jeans pockets afterwards. "I have a question before you leave." He smirked. He was going to ask me something stupid, I could feel it. I crossed my arms and waited for his question. "You can take your headscarf off as soon as we're married, right? I mean, we are married then." He said taking another step forward. He suddenly grabbed me by my waist, pulling me towards him. He stared into my eyes holding me with a huge strength I could never compete with. It was at that moment I could smell a faint smell of alcohol on his breath.

In a world where pain is often hidden behind silence, *A Heart Left Cold* follows the lives of Ishmael and Zanifah-two broken souls tethered by shared suffering. Ishmael, drowning under the weight of his parents' divorce and the bullying he endures at school, finds solace in the quiet presence of Zanifah. But beneath her calm surface, Zanifah is battling her own darkness-a teenage pregnancy, isolation, and the unbearable burden of expectations. One fateful evening, Zanifah makes a decision that will change both of their lives forever. Ishmael, blind to her pain until it's too late, is left to grapple with the guilt of her suicide attempt. While she fights for her life in a hospital ICU, Ishmael is consumed by self-blame, retreating from the world and slipping deeper into despair. In a tragic twist, Zanifah's internal struggle leads her to choose the cold embrace of numbness over the warmth of healing. Her death leaves Ishmael shattered and lost, unable to face the world or even attend her funeral. As he retreats into isolation, the memory of Zanifah lingers-a haunting reminder of the people we fail to save and the silent battles we never see. Raw, emotional, and heartbreakingly real, this story is a stark exploration of mental health, loss, and the devastating consequences of unspoken pain. It's a story about the ones left behind and the journey of healing we may never take.
