The New York University Institute of Fine Arts is a prestigious establishment that Asia can hardly believe she is attending. It feels, to her, as if the entire universe has aligned in her favour. With the world in the palms of her paint-spattered hands, Asia begins to realise her dreams of becoming a recognised artist, but then things begin to happen. Things Asia cannot possibly explain, or reconcile.
The universe shifts, and when it does, the aftershocks are monumental. Cracks spider through the surface of Asia's perfectly crafted future, and with her world threatening to unravel, Asia must follow the cracks to find out the truth of what is happening to her.
But time is running out, and Asia doesn't know who to trust, anymore. She cannot even trust herself.
This story is a crossing of various themes and genres, where paranormal meets themes of science-fiction and romance.

Soft Silence
"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug. Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌
Guilted: Wars Against The Past (Editing)
The things I knew that were once unethical, were bound to be saintly. The dreams I dreamt once upon a time, seemed to be an epitome of nightmares. The heart I thought I stole long ago, always belonged to someone else. The crimes I have committed all my life, became a handful of lessons that I ought to learn. The world I looked up to once, became a mortal enemy of mine. The family I thought would disown me, fought my battles for me. The life I never imagined I'd live, sadly it became a life I'd rather live than die. Lastly, the guilt I carried in me for the each and every second of my living, was a poison spreading and gradually banishing everything around me. Clearly, I was bounded by the past! Never have I imagined for the galaxy of guilt in me to steadily transform into a matter of great; Love. No, it wasn't for my dead sister, or for the woman I once claimed to love, or for my money-grubbing father, or even for the woman who was destined for me. Majestically, it was for Someone who I never ever thought it would be for; My Maker. Well, it's mind-blowing how the ugliest of matters bring out the most beautiful of articles! -Guilt is a gift from Allah, warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul.- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 22/12/2017, 7:15 pm.

INFATUATED
Studious, Pious, Beautiful, Introvert- enough adjectives to describe her. She gets tagged with 'TOO SERIOUS' at her first encounter with everyone. But isn't her mind the most colourful of all? People think she is way too conserved about her religion. But does her attire make her backdated? Her sweet humble behaviour is considered to be her weakness. But isn't she a rigid one when needed? Single? Definitely dude! She's a practicing Muslimah. Let's see how her life changes in the five years of university. What happens when her future significant other crosses her path? Could she ever think that one day HE will be the one without whom life would seem impossible? NOPE. Love at first sight only exists in fantasy. Real Muslimahs wait with patience and faith for the right time to approach. 🥈1st Runner Up of The Rahma Awards 2018🏆 🥉2nd Runner Up of Spotlight Season 2 🏆Complete

Linger
Ira has always lived slightly out of sync with the world. A 27-year-old artist drifting between rejection emails and half-finished sketches, she's grown used to the quiet ache under her skin - that feeling something important is just out of reach. Her days blur into lukewarm coffee, too-loud clocks, and dreams she can't quite shake. Dreams of black sand, twin moons, and a boy with storm-colored eyes who seems to remember her. When a strange mark begins to glow on her wrist - delicate, crescent-shaped, and definitely not a birthmark - Ira writes it off as stress. Lack of sleep. Maybe delusion. Until she sees him. In the metro station. On the page. At her door. A man who shouldn't exist outside her sketchbook - but stands in her living room with a voice like silk and eyes like the end of the world. He doesn't tell her his name. Not right away. And when he does, it tastes like something she was never supposed to remember. Rei. As her memories begin to blur with dreams, and the world starts glitching around her - Ira is forced to question everything. Familiar people vanish. Reality slips. And every line she draws pulls her closer to a truth her body remembers... even if her mind has tried to forget. There are gaps in her past that don't make sense. A childhood disappearance no one explains. A voice she's heard before, whispering from somewhere behind the veil. And a pattern of disappearances that all seem to follow in her wake. Because Ira isn't just remembering Rei. She's waking something older. And it's waking her back. Linger is a slow-burn romantic mystery woven with fantasy, memory, and myth. It's about the soft terror of forgetting, the sharp intimacy of being seen, and the aching pull of a connection that defies logic, distance, and time. Some doors, once opened, don't close quietly. And some names, once spoken, can't be taken back.Complete
Signed by Silence (Sais)
Colet Vergara x Fem Reader At 28, Professor Nicolette "Colet" Vergara has built walls taller than any lecture hall. Cold, nonchalant, and notoriously strict, she's the university's most feared instructor-intelligent, sharp-tongued, and believed to be incapable of love. Rumors swirl in hushed tones, but no one dares get close enough to confirm them. She teaches like clockwork, lives in routine, and has convinced herself that emotions-especially love-are distractions she can live without. But her world shifts when a transfer student arrives. Y/N, a 19-year-old reincarnated girl born deaf but bursting with warmth, light, and creativity, is enrolled into a mainstream university not designed for PWD students by her doting mothers, Malory and Collie. Despite the odds, Y/N navigates her silent world with courage, always carrying a sketchpad and pen-her words flowing in ink and image. She's quiet but vibrant, gentle yet resilient. Their paths collide-literally-when Colet mistakes her silence for defiance and yells at her in class, only to be met with blank eyes and a soft, confused smile. The truth stuns her: Y/N can't hear her rage. And somehow, that silence says more than words ever could. As the semester unfolds, what begins as a reluctant apology slowly turns into stolen glances, unspoken understanding, and deep conversations in writing. The cold professor finds herself softening against all logic, and Y/N, in her quiet grace, begins to stir emotions Colet thought she buried long ago. But their growing bond comes with shadows-the age gap, strict university rules, and Colet's own fear of love. Can Colet risk everything she's built for a girl who listens with her eyes and speaks through her hands? Or will silence be the only thing left signed between them?
Written in Duas
Thauba is 19. A little lazy, a little lost, and way too scared of marriage (even though rishta aunties are always lurking 👀). She loves K-dramas, journaling her overthinking at 2AM, and pretending everything's okay-even when it's not. She didn't grow up in a super religious home. But somehow, Allah started finding His way into her heart... through her friends, through her little moments of peace, and maybe, just maybe-through him. Rezaan. The calm one. The one who doesn't say much but somehow sees through it all. The one who suddenly appears in her life with a question she never thought she'd hear. Now her world's flipping, her heart's racing, and she's left wondering-can someone who's scared of love... still be written into a love story? A soft, emotional journey of faith, fears, and the quiet beauty of nikkah. Not your typical romance, but maybe... the kind your soul was waiting for.
