"Zarmeena, can we-" She couldn't take it anymore and interrupted him. "Salaar, I don't know what you're saying... I don't know if I will ever be able to meet your expectations. It's true that, with time, the pain of being a stranger to my own family has lessened. But still, no matter what I feel, this is not what I wanted. I am like a plant that someone plucked from a desert and replanted in a beautiful garden where it doesn't belong. And even with the richest soil and the perfect sunlight, it still cannot blossom. " I am an ordinary girl from an ordinary background and never dreamed of a prince charming like you. I always wanted an ordinary life partner like myself. I accepted my marriage to Brother Farid not because I had feelings for him, but because he understood me better than anyone else. We grew up in the same environment. We didn't need words to understand each other's hearts. Salaar, like that desert plant, I need more time to adjust because I still haven't forgotten the desert I was plucked from." For the first time, Zarmeena voiced the emotions she had buried deep inside her heart. "Zarmeena, I want you to know that you can have the same expectations from me as you had from Farid. I will always be supportive. Please, trust me." Salaar's eyes were filled with hope, longing for her to at least consider him worthy of sincere companionship. "Salaar, why are you doing this? Why are you hurting yourself like this? It's true that my perception of you was wrong. You are a very kind-hearted man, and you deserve much more. You may not get what you want from me. I cannot keep you in false hope."Complete

In high school, his world revolved around Pran, his first love, and their promises of a future together. But tragedy shattered those dreams, leaving Pat with nothing but memories-and the unbearable weight of loss. Years later, Pat has reinvented himself as Min, a successful yet distant business tycoon running his father's empire. To the world, Min is a man of power and precision, but behind the façade, he's haunted by the ghost of Pran and the love he can't let go. Enter Q, a vibrant young intern who brings warmth and laughter to Min's cold, structured world. Q's presence begins to chip away at Min's walls, stirring emotions he thought he had buried forever. But as their bond deepens, secrets unravel-ones that tie them to a shared past and the possibility that Pran is alive somewhere, waiting to be found. This is a story of selfless love and second chances, where three lives intertwine in a journey of healing, rediscovery, and the enduring hope that love, no matter how lost, can always find its way back. "This is my debut novel, inspired by unique characters and crafted from my imagination. Any resemblance to real-life individuals, events, or entities-living or non-living-is purely coincidental.

Put two strangers in one house and see what happens... one of them is a first class bipolar asshole who has no faith left, while the other one is a sweet, fragile girl with baggage in the form of a little angel, who happens to be strengthening her faith. Both are broken... unfixable they say and both have a past that haunts them. A marriage of convenience is what they had in mind... But will there be more or will they let their pasts get in the middle and drive them away from each other, leaving them yet again unfixable? ******* Romance/Spiritual Warning! This book will most probably contain mature language at some point. This book is not meant to be preaching about islam, rather its a book about characters who happen to be muslims struggling with their faith and life. It's a FICTIONAL book, my imagination did the work for me. Anything else could be a coincidence. I DONT OWN ANY OF THE PHOTOS USED IN THIS BOOK. I'm not a perfect Muslimah and this book isn't a perfect Islamic book either. Please have an open mind when you read this book. Thank you.Complete
