I screamed in my head and clutched my head with both of my hands. "No. I don't want this" I whisper shaking visibly. "Adiba... please calm down... listen I want to tell you something.. just calm down" he tried to calm me down in a very gentle voice but how can I? did he forget what he did to me? if he then I will remind him.

The Blue Hour by cstahle

Inspired by true events, 'The Blue Hour' is a story of political intrigue and doomed love set in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire during the summer of 1876. All Prince Hamid and the Belgian glove-maker, Flora Cordier, want is to pursue their forbidden love. But how can they amid backroom dealings, deadly conspiracies, and when an ominous prophecy seals Hamid's fate as the saviour of the Empire? ***** It's the summer of 1876, and rebellion, corruption, famine, and the impending threat of war plague the Ottoman Empire. As European powers circle like vultures for spoils, the century-old dynasty fears Allah has abandoned it. Presiding over the decline is the deranged Sultan Abdulaziz. A prophecy emerges that Hamid, second heir to the throne, will ascend to sultan-hood by summer's end. Fearing for his life and haunted by an inner darkness, he flees the palace. Meanwhile, Hamid's step-mother Peresto, and his enigmatic tutor, Reshid, conspire to fulfil the prophecy by betraying the Sultan and Hamid's step-brother, Crown Prince Murad. Intoxicated by love and freedom, Hamid pursues a secret affair with Flora Cordier, about to marry a man she does not love to escape her past. Over a few passionate summer months, they fight for their forbidden love to become the persons they dream of being, in defiance of society and of the powerful forces of history that conspire to drive them apart. Intimate and intensely atmospheric, 'The Blue Hour' encapsulates eternal themes of love, power, and the struggle for freedom. Blending the epic romance of 'Doctor Zhivago' with the rich historical detail and political intrigue of a Jason Goodwin novel, it is entertaining and vividly immersive, with deep emotional resonance. COMPLETED.

IT is a one-sided love story, two people are caged in an unwanted marriage, for 3 years, good things change and their feelings, after they come to the end of it. "IT WILL CHANGE, IT WILL Set you free, it will set me free from this improbable pain" her tears were freely going down her cheek. Cenk came and pulled her from her arm to him, and their faces were inches. "I will not divorce you, Cemre, and don't even think about it," he said, looking coldly into her eyes. "You don't even want me! You don't even care about me, look at me!" she whimpered. "Yeah, I don't want you, and I definitely don't care about you, this marriage will never end, we are both stuck in it, PUT that in your thick mind, there is no running from this hell that you created "and he let her go and he took his jacket and went out, Cerme collapsed on the bed crying. "She recognized it at once: love, one-way deep adoration that bounced off and did not bounce back; careful, quiet love that didn't care and went on anyway." ― Celeste Ng, Everything I Never Told You

[#15 in Spiritual as of 5-11-2016] Alhamdulillah! There are two types of people. One- who love this world more than Deen and strive for the worldly possessions. Two- who love the Deen more than this world and strive for Jannah. But when Deen meets Dunya barriers form because Dunya finds it unable to adjust with Deen and Deen finds it difficult to explain its love to Dunya. Can they then live together?
