Convinced their love is worth saving, she sets out to fix what's left between them. Only this time, love doesn't come easy. The warmth that once filled their home has been replaced by silence, resentment, and truths she's not ready to face. As she unravels the reasons behind his frustration, Ihsan must learn what it really means to love someone-and to be loved in return.

Hijabi Not in Distress by sabeenthememe

#4 in highschoollovestory on 11/2/2020 ****This book starts off with the present time of a wedding and reveals a hidden love story**** Now, going to be married, Sairah reminisces about her past love story. Sairah's a hijabi... and life as a hijabi isn't easy at Kendale High School. Sairah is witty, sarcastic, modest and beautiful. She receives looks of admiration, and hatred because of her loyalty to her religion. However, one day someone takes things too far... Ahmed, the new kid was also Muslim and had just moved to LA. He's bold, charming, egoistic, handsome, and sometimes gets a little too in over his head. However, when Sairah's and his path clash insults are exchanged and so is flattery. Learn the eventual result of these two hot-headed Muslims and where life takes them... Both start off with a rather teasing and sarcastic friendship, but time leads them into something more-- something beautiful. ************************************************************************************************ "Now? Now I have to deal with you throwing all your hard work for a girl! A girl Ahmed! A girl!" He emphasizes 'girl' with annoyance and disappointment. I clench my jaw getting heated. "Dad she is NOT some girl okay! I love her and she loves me! She is more than just some girl!" I soften my tone, "dad I love her okay and I'm not leaving NYU because of her. I'm not even thinking about NYU for her. And for our future together." I try to reason with my dad who is shaking his head in disbelief. "Ahmed I know you care about her okay. There's nothing wrong with falling in love-- unless she's taking you away from your life plan!" My dad explains visibly frustrated. "Dad, it was never my life plan to begin with. It was yours!" I run a hand through my hair. ************************************************************************************************ ALSO, THIS STORY IS A TAD RELIGIOUS BUT IT IS FICTIONAL

The nerd and Mr. Popular✔️ by asma_anam

"Just a reminder you're nothing but just their tutor and we are tolerating you in our house cuz you're a friend of that stupid girl, so act formal and keep your nose away from our family's matter," he spat out angrily and left the room. Zaynah Fatima, not your expected nerd, whose life was full of secrets and drama. Wajahat Shah, the arrogant, cocky, and the most popular guy of college, you will hate him but the more you get to know about him, the more you're gonna love him. What would happen when that not-so-nerd and Mr. Popular crossed their path? Would they get along or hate each other? Or would someone else catch the attention of Zaynah? Another clichè teen fiction with a lot of secrets, drama, mysteries, and stupidity! *Characters in this book are Muslim but this book can be read by anyone* *Warning* Zillions of mistakes and you may fall in love with the characters!!! #1 in spiritual 04/10/2021
