Merpati is Malaysian for dove and Cempaka is Malaysian for flower however in this story they are names of the protagonists.
This is a short story that highlights the sad mentality of many people all over the world and the struggles that many women in those communities have to face. Misogyny can be found and institutionalized everywhere even in the most developed places and when it is normalized by the masses some small "merpati" cannot fly free.
Another message is that we should all have the choice to live your life however you want to. Despite your choice being conventional or unconventional, we need to fight for the right to make that choice for ourselves.

DEPRESSION
Just a story about me. How I struggled with depression and am still affected by it. If anyone finds it helpful (which you most probably won't) do not hesitate to tell me about your experience. Just remember that you are not alone and their are people out there who are struggling just like you, who are suffering just like you and maybe suffering and struggling in more worse ways than you are. The sun rises after the silence, loneliness and darkness of the night. But if you pay attention the night after all is still not so dark because there are stars, which are the hope that there is still a bit of sparkle left in the darkness of the night. *** Cover credits: Instagram: mh_draws_ mariahasan___Complete

I was speechless, my mind has betrayed me, I just stood there starring at him as he ran away, I couldn't even ask him to stop or come back for me, he just ran away, like a prey from a predator, and I felt guilty about it, he was my victim.

Mafia's Forced Wife
Being a Muslim girl and in a conservative family with three protective brothers to care for you for your entire life....It makes you spoiled, protected and well naïve to some point. My name is Sharia Qureshi. I am a cardiologist. Saving lives gives me the reason to live. I believe that living life for yourself is easy but giving a part of it to others is something worth living for. Starting as an intern at a reputated hospital was all I wanted after completing my degree. But never in my life I expected Allah would turn my life from a free spirited girl to damsel in distress with none other than the shaitaan(devil). #################### "You never married me with my own free will. You forced me and my family into this. Allah will make you pay for this." He started laughing at my face mocking my words. Breaking me. Showing me how powerless I was in front of him. He closed the gap between us, stepping dangerously close. I took a sharp breath as he held my my hair painfully pushing my scalp back leaving burning sensation. He leaned down to whisper hotly in my ears."You are mine and only mine to give pain. You will beg me to be free." # 15 Compassion (06/21/2021) #1 Compassion (10/19/2022)Complete

Can we women sustain this society? Can a girl/ women live a single day without being judged? Without the fear of what might happen to them if they either step out of the house or even if they stay back in the house? Is there any place where women are safe??? I am in search of those answers and my this FF is the quest for that. Maybe by the end of this FF, I may find at least a single answer. Hoping for the best.Complete
