empowerment female feminine feminism malaysian metaphor misogyny openminded shortstory

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. 

"I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay"

DEPRESSION by uateef

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___

Mafia's Forced Wife by sweetvirgo21

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)

Riding the Rhythm by cottoncandylatte

Naomi's POV: I thought this would be easy-pretend to be Min's girlfriend for a year, collect my paycheck, and return to my peaceful life. But I underestimated them. Their teasing. Their hunger. Every glance, every touch, every stolen moment is breaking me down. They want me to fall. They want me to belong to them. And worst of all? I'm starting to want it too. Min's POV (The Leader): She's my fake girlfriend. A PR move. A contract. Nothing more. So why can't I stop thinking about her? She's different. Strong-willed. Untouchable. But I always get what I want. And what I want is her-completely. Jae's POV (The Rebel): She's fun to mess with. A challenge. A game. But now? It's more than that. She won't break, so I'll make her. Teasing isn't enough anymore-I need to ruin her. I need to make her scream my name so loud she forgets every other man in the room. Seon's POV (The Sunshine): She treats me like I'm harmless. Cute. A boy. But I'm not. I'm going to show her exactly what kind of man I am. She thinks she can resist me, but I see the way she looks when I touch her. Jisoo's POV (The Mystery): She watches me when she thinks I don't notice. She wants to figure me out. But what she doesn't realize? I already have her figured out. She thinks she's in control. She doesn't know what happens when I finally touch her. ⚠️ Trigger Warnings This book contains explicit, dark, and mature themes that may not be suitable for all readers.
