"There were people in this world who lived their days in grey and their nights without stars. Three fateful acts...meant a lifetime of color and comets. Some people called it kismet. Muslims called it qadr."   

Friendship, tragedy, and love have woven Aaya, Jennah, and Samina's lives together since they were children. When Samina's mom was killed, the bonds grew tighter and the French Braid Society was born.  Seven years later, new challenges arise with mind, heart, and soul on the line.

While Aaya's path to journalism fulfills her ambition and need to prove herself, it jeopardizes her values and future with a potential soulmate. A childhood enemy from Jennah's past returns with new games that threaten to break the chains on her heart and destabilize her foundation of distrusting males and marriage. When Samina forms a bond to a dangerous new muse, her passion for art and photography heightens as does the immortal darkness he pulls her into once more.

This isn't a religious story or a book about finding God. This is a coming of age story about three girls rediscovering what it means to be a French Braid Society member faced with family, foes, and fatal attraction.

153 parts Ongoing
Sarah, the youngest daughter in a humble, middle-class family, has always been the embodiment of her parents' dreams. With two elder sisters already established in their lives, the weight of expectation rests heavily on her shoulders. After experiencing a devastating failure, Sarah is determined to redeem herself and secure the bright future her family envisions for her. Ryan, on the other hand, is the only child of his ambitious parents, both doctors who have carved a future for him without his consent. While he obediently walks the path they've laid out, Ryan harbors a secret passion for online gaming, a talent he knows his parents would never approve of. Back in school, Sarah and Ryan were fierce academic rivals, constantly pushing each other to excel, driven by the desire to outdo the other. Their competition defined them, yet after high school, their lives took very different directions. They parted ways, only to unexpectedly cross paths again seven years later. Now, as adults, they meet with masks of success-both pretending to be thriving, hiding their failures and inner struggles. But behind their forced smiles and false bravado lies the same old rivalry, along with questions they've been too scared to face: what if they lose eachother again? Beneath the competition, there has always been an unspoken connection, something they're both too afraid to admit. In the heart of this Indian tale, set against the vibrant backdrop of family traditions, unfulfilled dreams, and personal redemption, Sarah and Ryan must face the truth about themselves-and each other. Will their rivalry push them apart once more, or will it become the bridge that brings them closer than ever before? ... Inspired by the true journey of a real-life romance.

Friendless and timid, Guinevere is stuck in her socially anxious shadow, content to let her sister lead and live a sheltered life. Without Natalie pushing her to break out of her comfort zone, she'd be trapped in fear. The world is scary, even her own family conflicts terrify her; she needs Natalie's support. But what happens when Natalie, her big sister, her mentor and only real friend, suddenly can't be there for every moment of her life? Lola, raised to be a hardworking farmer, when all she wants is a bit of agency over her life, the freedom to do what she wants. And yet, she is perfectly willing to let Natalie handle conversations for her. For as much as she wants to be free, she wouldn't know what to do with herself, get meticulously caught up in planning the details and never end up doing anything. And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on. Freely engaging with her friends and helping them, as she lacks her own internal drive, the self awareness to know what she wants. After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations. Being complacent with what happens to her and simply accepting, with no real goals of her own, no idea that her friends are just as directionless as she is. When health complications arise for her, and her friend group is falling apart around her as she can't guide them, she'll have to ask the essential questions that she can't simply answer in a quick sentence. The questions that she has long dismissed as unimportant. Is this what she truly wants, to be solely fulfilled by everyone else depending on her for support? And where does she draw the line? This story touches on potentially triggering content, including the use of slurs, toxic family relationships, anxiety, anger, and death. Any real people, brands or places are only used to further realize the environment.

"It was not something to be digested easily, Areesh. You can't just talk about separation. It's not at all forgivable." She said shaking her head and I wiped her cheeks when tears roll down her cheeks. "Khareeda nahi hai tum ne mujhe ke jab man mein aaye, tab chodne ki baat kar di."

No matter whatever is the problem, how down we feel, how sad we are, we HAVE to be together. We HAVE to face our problems together. That's what life partners do.) "I'm sorry."
