Assalm dear readers, this is my first story so there will be mistakes i would also like to apologize if it seems fast paced. It will be much appreciated if you could tolerate it and give me your honest comments.

 I would like you to keep in mind that the characters do not represent actual Muslims and I have tried my best to include traces of Islam in my story but please bear with me if it doesn't seem really Islamic.

Aside from that please read, share and enjoy! :)
