Azril, gay, Muslim man thought that at 30 years old, he'll have a stability in his life. But it didn't.
While looking for a change in his career, a chance meeting with a perfect man, complicates Azril's life even more so than it already does. He will have to tiptoe along the thin line of love and friendship, if he wish to follow his heart's desire.
This is a story of choices and consequences, and the imperfections of life. Nothing is easy, the ups and downs varies between people, and anyone can screw up anytime along their timeline. What matter is how to own up to those screw ups-particularly Azril, in his version of events.

For Him, I Stayed
Title: For Him, I Stayed Written by Sean - Photo not mine! Credits to the rightful owner! (This was originally named as "Love Her, Not Me") "He searched the world for love, never seeing it with him all along." Ray and Matthew met as freshmen in high school, instantly bonding over shared interests and a quiet understanding. Ray, the younger of two siblings, lived under the shadow of his older brother, Skyler, a well-liked, confident student who later pursued a medical career and married his high school sweetheart, Avilian. Matthew, in contrast, was an only child but had a sprawling network of cousins who filled his life with constant chaos and fun. During high school, Ray struggled with self-esteem. He was bullied for his appearance and withdrawn, relying on Matthew as a pillar of support. Despite Ray's insecurities, his gentle humor and genuine nature made him shine in Matthew's eyes, even if he didn't initially recognize the depth of Ray's affection. As they navigated high school, Ray secretly fell in love with Matthew, confessing his feelings not once, but three times, each time hoping for a different answer. Each rejection stung more deeply, eventually leading Ray to withdraw, hurt yet unable to forget. Now in their third year of college, Ray has grown from the insecure, pimpled high schooler into a confident young man with a striking new appearance. Meanwhile, Matthew, who once viewed Ray as just his best friend, finds himself missing the old closeness and wondering if he might have taken his friend's presence for granted. Caught between old heartbreak and new realizations, the pair stands on the edge of a shifting friendship that may yet bloom into something unexpected.

*Note: My story received a mature rating according to Wattpad guidelines, and while I have tried to get rid of it, they believe my story is appropriately rated, which I beg to differ with. Please do not feel intimidated by the mature rating, as I can assure you that this story does not deal with any sort of explicit content in the smut or erotic category. The world is cruel, and Dareen Abu feels helpless. She's just going with the flow of what society tells her to do: go to college, get your degree, and work for the rest of your life like a robot. But her mind is always on her dreams: becoming a writer, finding love, and not having to worry about her finances. Writing is her safe haven. She utterly adores romance and fantasies about it all day, inserting herself in her character's shoes for some thrill in her rather boring life. Though her life is a lot greater than most people's, she notices her family's struggles. They came into the country with only a bag of items, after all; however, after seventeen years, they still haven't been able to break free from the minimum wage cage. Not to mention that getting a job nowadays is harder than ever, which she's personally seen her father struggle with. After six months, he finally lands a job, but it's yet another damn driving job that he isn't getting paid well for. What he is good at is cooking. He may not be primarily passionate about it in this given moment since he's been in survival mode for the past seventeen years, but perhaps a cushy private chef job where rich people let him experiment with all kinds of organic goods and in return eat Michelin-star-worthy food, for which he gets paid well, would be a win-win situation for everyone. But just how will Dareen help her father get a better job? And little does she know that perhaps she may benefit from her pursuit to help him. Dive into Dareen's journey by giving this story a good read to find out just what happens to her and her family... and her heart?

Strange Passion
Michael wasn't the type of guy to fall for just anyone. It wasn't his fault he turned out to be gay. If not for his father claiming it was a good thing, he wouldn't have questioned his sexuality at the age of 12. He didn't have a thing against homosexuals, but not many people in his city accepted him. Moving to another country was his best option and that's exactly what he did. Sydney wasn't your typical girl. Opposite of Michael, she went after any and every person who showed interest in her. She didn't grow up learning the pros and cons of being bi. Her mother didn't seem to care and her father was barely around to care. Her best friends were guys who had dated each other, putting the thought in her head that being a homosexual was the way to live. During a vacation for Sydney and her friends and Michael's big move, Sydney literally falls into his arms. Michael is hesitant about having a new girl friend, considering many girls always threw themselves at him without knowing he was gay. Sydney was more hesitant about Michael's sexuality. Though she had surrounded herself with her gay friends, she couldn't figure out if he was gay or not. As the relationship between the two grow, they began to realize their true feelings for each other. Is it just a phase or is it really affection? Sydney's friends try to convince her not to get too close to him. Michael's parents are equally happy with his sudden change as it was his choice.
