Ruswa-e-Ishq
The cold rockstar who had knuckles bleeding every time she spotted him, had fallen for her. Noor might have been doomed before- but after Iskandar made sure for her to know his presence, her life was over.
She had been betrayed by love before. But she thought otherwise- thinking it was her who must have done something wrong. Maybe she was the one who had a hard time understanding her first love. Maybe it was her that couldn't love.
But when Iskandar came into the picture, he made sure to break every belief of her. He made her believe that love may not be what she thinks. And that she was capable of it more than anyone else.
He may have been a bully but for her, he was a flirt, an angel and someone out of this world- all the more not to give him a chance.
Because at the end, she was afraid the history will repeat and she'll have to go through the trauma once more.

Iskandar
"The day I started loving you was the day all hell broke loose," His raspy voice came to her as if lovers caressed. She couldn't focus on his voice and the hand moving on her back all together.
"That day hasn't ended. And it never will." He shifted his weight closer, "Every time I see you. Every time you pass by me. All I feel is the fire raging from the same hell- stronger than the last I set my eyes on you." Iskandar moved his hand to her hair and soon her face.
"You don't know what I feel for you," Noor felt his gaze trailing everywhere on her face. To her eyes. To her nose. To her lips. Everywhere, leaving hot marks.
"Every cell within me loves you intensely," he said as his thumb lined her lower lip, "Every part of me loves every part of you. So intensely that sometimes I think it will go beyond my own boundaries."
He leaned in lower, "so intensely, that if I don't see you, this fire within me will turn me into ash- until nothing within me will remain, that remembers you, hurts."
