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
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.
