DOUBT by listen-to-the-Khan

Doubt unwinds how humans can create personas to fit into society and forget to love themselves. The story moves around two people and the choices they question, which were made for them. Best friends stuck with insecurities, but will stand by each other in any circumstances. One has mother issues, whereas the other only has a mother to live for. Not your regular north and south, but definitely not your ice-cream and waffle. One will crack jokes at the most random of times, and the other will not even laugh, but both are suckers for biryani. One might suck at Urdu, and the other only freaks out in it, but both care about one person. One is born in Pakistan, and the other is born in America, but both are Pakistani. One is over-excited, and the other is calm as the wind, but both are socially damaged. One is a creative bird, and the other is the virtual freak, but both hate biology. One is head over heels for Pakistani music, and the other doesn't even understand half the lyrics, but both love Sajjad Ali. One is naïve, whereas the other is silly, but both are mature at the right moment. One reads the ingredients of everything while the other makes his own, but, again, both are Halal oddities in a Haram world. She was Ezzah Mahir, and this her journal. Now available on Amazon and in Pakistan.

QUARTER LIFE CRISIS by Writix22

Cupid never had a chance in their messy, parental-restricted love story Karishma Jha, a twenty-one-year-old recent graduate with the world at her feet if only she chose to face it. Plagued with the worries of the future and yet healing from the scars of her past, she was yet to pay any heed to the present. She was the queen of the world of What-ifs What if I never get a job? What if I never do anything worthwhile? What if I am not here tomorrow? What if someone new moves next door? Still struggling to live one day at a time, she is hit with yet another surprise: a new neighbor, Rishabh Mehta. His arrival gives her the opportunity to take a step out of her cocooned world, to do something daring for once in her sheltered life. What if a girl with perpetually cold feet chooses to befriend a boy who lives like there is no tomorrow? When Rishabh Mehta moved to his aunt's place in Bangalore, the last thing he expected was to deal with the girl next door. Shrew, grump, ornery, he knew the many nicknames of her, except her real name. She proved true to her description when, one night, she cuts off the wire of his music system in the middle of a raging party. That was his first impression of hers. He also never expected her unrelenting efforts to befriend him. When he finally gives in, the possibility of tomorrow increases with every shared laughter and stolen glance. Will their love survive self-imposed obstacles, helicopter parents, and the two-foot gap between their balconies? Or, will it remain a fond memory to smile upon when a day gets a bit more difficult than the rest? TRIGGER WARNING: Though this story is mostly a feel-good rom-com, it does address certain heavy topics like illness, suicide attempts, and domestic violence.

But when her parental units send her away to a summer camp and she's forced to interact with others, she's thrown into a whole new dark mess of fear, trauma, and... Possibly Love?

Closer To You by that_muslimgirl

Zahra and Hamza. Hamza and Zahra. It was no simple task for their names to be heard side by side. For their story was a complicated one. A sorrowful one. One that was full of longing. ZAHRA is haunted by the demons of her past, and the what-ifs of the future. A seventeen year old girl tasked with caring for her family when her mother leaves; she has to juggle her responsibilities towards her family; her studies; and, her deen. Crying every night on the prayer mat seems to be the norm for Zahra now. She's drowning, and no one can see it. To fall in love would be impossible for a person in her position, but that's ok since she seemed to loathe the concept anyway. More than hate...she feared love. HAMZA is complicated. After moving back to his old home town, he is faced with the one who he could never forget. And how could he? Her crying face is permanently etched in his mind, she plagues his dreams and thoughts, and constant what-ifs are on the tip of his tongue. What if he did something differently, and maybe his and her life could have gone a lot differently. When they both come face to face with each other, emotions are at an all-time high, memories are bound to resurface, and the past they both desperately tried to bury may be coming up to the surface. Now, they both must make a choice. To bury or be buried. Add in confusing family members, mysterious new guys, shocking secrets and crazy plot twists, cute friendships, and heart wrenching moments. A girl on deen, a boy on deen, and a world desperate to keep them apart. But, my dear reader, these are souls that were written to be together. Everything that happens is with the qadr (will) of Allah. Nothing, and no one could stop what He has planned for Zahra and Hamza. WARNING: this story is not for the faint-hearted...you may cry. MAIN CHARACTERS ARE MUSLIM AND PAKISTANI

(Unwanted Series#4) (Sequel to HSB & HAB) -"She has my heart. Its all up to her either cherish it or throw it."- - - - "Sha-Shai-Shaizum.. Shaizum.. don't leave." I froze there and felt my heart and soul pierced with a million knives. I stood straight and stared blankly at her unconscious state. It wasn't her fault. It wasn't. I was the one at fault who thought it would be very easy to make her forget him. But how could she forget the man she loved for many years, in few months. I sat beside her and counted her breaths as mine was getting lost with her voice. • • • There was a news few days before that a young man committed suicide after not getting his love. How did he feel when he fell from the 3rd floor? Did he feel more pain than heartbreak? Or did he feel peace in his heart after jumping from the 3rd floor? If I also jump from the 3rd floor, will I feel this pain of heart breaking? Or I'll just feel the peace that I searched from everywhere? A stupid decision took me from where to where. - - - He is just a friend for her. But, unknowingly, she is more than a friend for him. He is waiting for her without any intentions. But she doesn't know about it. He gave her his heart a long time ago. But she throws it everytime without knowing. - - - Can be read as stand-alone too. Status~ 1st Started: 10/06/2019.

In the city of Pakistan, Lahore, lived a family of five brothers. Each brother was unique in his own way, but Zayan stood distinct from the rest. He bore the physical scars of an abusive past, a constant reminder of the harsh experiences he endured. When their parents divorced, Zayan was forcefully left with his abusive father, while the other four brothers went to live with their mother. Despite the cruel treatment he received, Zayan managed to excel as a top businessman, keeping his true identity hidden. He was never truly free of his father's grasp, but due to a reason, he couldn't bring himself to harm the man who had caused him so much pain. Five years after the divorce, their parents remarried each other and decided to move back into the family home. The brothers, now grown men, were forced to confront their shared history and the secrets that lay within Zayan. The four brothers who had lived apart from their elder brother harbored a deep resentment towards him, believing that he had chosen his abusive father over them. They saw Zayan as the loveable child of their father, unaware of the hatred he had endured. As the brothers reunited under one roof, they were forced to navigate the intricate relationships and dynamics that had been shaped by their past. Zayan, burdened by the weight of his secrets, struggled to maintain the facade of a successful businessman while grappling with the complex emotions that arose from his reunion with his family. The narrative delves into the unraveling of Zayan's carefully constructed life, as the brothers uncover the truth about his past and the secrets that bind them together. Through their shared experiences, they must learn to forgive, heal, and redefine their relationships with one another, ultimately discovering the true meaning of family and the power of love to overcome even the darkest of pasts.
