Mila
It was hard living in the slums. Everyday, people thrived on scraps, dirty water and very little money. Children were exposed to practically every disease imaginable yet still managed to survive.

She was an innocent in body but her mind had known too much filth. She knew she had to be selfish in order to get away from this life.

WHEN SILENCE ISNT PEACE
"I used to be a princess. Now I'm a wife to a stranger, in a country that doesn't feel like home." Aleenah thought life would begin after school - maybe she'd study medicine, maybe fall in love. But then her father fell sick, a marriage was arranged, and her voice was buried under everyone else's decisions. Now she's trapped between duty and heartbreak. Between who she was and who she's expected to be. A raw, emotional Muslim love story about family, sacrifice, betrayal, and the things we never say. Sometimes, silence isn't peace. It's survival.

Bleeding Of Velvet Leaf
A young Muslim girl, raised with dreams of love, peace, and a simple life, finds herself stepping into the world of an arranged cousin marriage. At first, it feels like a duty more than a choice-family expectations weigh heavy, traditions tie her down, and her voice feels too small to be heard. Marriage, she thought, would bring security and companionship, but instead, she faces struggles she never imagined. Balancing her identity as a woman, a wife, and a believer, she must navigate the silence of being misunderstood, the challenges of adjusting to a new household, and the loneliness of fighting battles in her heart while keeping a smile on her face. Her faith becomes her anchor, teaching her patience (sabr), trust in Allah (tawakkul), and the strength to rise from every fall. This is not just a story of hardship-it's a story of resilience. A story of how a girl transforms into a woman who learns that marriage isn't only about compromise, but also about finding her voice, her strength, and her path to closeness with Allah.

Replacement (US#6)
(Unwanted Series#6) My eyes were stuck there while everything around me became useless and bland. How I wished at this time I never came here to witness this. I looked at their hands laced together and smiling at everyone while the world was slipped through my feet. »»»●««« "I can't even blame anyone when I was the one that happily throw herself in this marriage. What I got?" Bitter laugh escaped from me as I wiped those stupid tears then stared at the letter on the table. "A husband who is mine but at the same time not mine." • • • They all made a mistake by taking a step into each other's lives. For the outside world, everything is perfect but for them it was pure hell of an unbearable pain. • • • "I will never leave you." It was a pure lie. Remember when they say this, RUN. Because they all say this to each other but eventually they all run away, breaking their promises and... Each other's heart. ...... ⚠️ A surprise character as the story progress. ...... «Status» Started: 19/10/2022. Ended: 01/08/2024.Complete
Choosing YOU
He was abandoned before he learned how to love - and she was thrown into his life by fate. Everyone thought they were just another arranged couple fumbling through married life. What no one saw were the storms behind closed doors. He didn't talk much - not about the family that left him,or the pain he never gave a name to. He carried his wounds like shadows, quietly, stubbornly. Until the day he broke - and told her the truth. A child born without warmth of a mother. Left behind like a secret. Raised without love. She tried to fix it - she really did. But healing doesn't always come from the ones who hurt us. So instead, she offered him something else: Her hand. Her heart. Her vow to stay. This isn't a story about saving someone. It's about standing with them when no one else will. And loving them until they finally start to believe they're worthy of it.Complete
