He mumbles, and all I hear is, "You're right. I don't want to,".
Don't want to what? Don't want to lose me to somebody else? Don't want to say goodbye to me? Don't want to regret not saying the last goodbye? A million questions raced my mind.
He stepped out of the car. I'd never seen him look so devastated. I thought this was an apology, but it wasn't; it was goodbye. "Hey," I waved slightly and even made a point to smile a little bit, the type of wave and smile we sent each other across the hall. He sent one right back. That's it, maybe things would be better between us. But when his smile faded, I knew they wouldn't. Now mind you, he wasn't usually the type to hold grudges. But this was different, I guess. "Well I guess this is the end." He shrugs.

Mending You And I
Previously known as: I'll never forgive you Maryam Junaid, a pious, confident young Muslimah who lost her parents in a fire at the age of ten. As the little girl wandered the dangerous streets of New York, she was kidnapped and somehow ended up in the foster home of the Mehmoods. At the young age of 12, she had already gone through a lot. Abuse, harassment, humiliation, you name it. Life was tough but things took a turn for the better when the sweet Saleh couple stumbled upon her. Liking Maryam's sensibility and piety, they ask for her hand in marriage for their only son; Abdullah Saleh. Knowing that it was the only way out of her misery, she gladly accepted and despite her foster family's disapproval, started her life as the Saleh family's daughter-in-law and the wife of Abdullah Saleh, a stranger. Abdullah Saleh, the famous workaholic, charming, young CEO of Saleh textiles. His intense gaze, raven straight hair, and pale creamish skin weren't one to go unnoticed. Partying, girlfriend and work were his main goals in life and nothing could change that. He was pretty content until a little girl who liked to act snobby and confident, forcefully entered his life. To say that he was annoyed would be an understatement. They say polars attract but this couple just didn't click. The bond of marriage between the two, binding them together created a big clash. And one thing was for sure, it wasn't pretty. __________________________________ Note: The credit for the images used in the cover goes to however made them.

Zahrati (Formerly Zahra)
Ya Baba... It's funny that I'm writing to you. I don't even know why; you can't read this. You don't even know I'm writing this; maybe it's because of what you said the day you gave me this book. Do you remember? You said that words travel a long way, so I guess I'm hoping my words will reach you wherever you are. So brace yourself and listen, because I have a lot to tell you. ***** Starting over in a new country wasn't on Zahra Ibrahim's bingo card. But after her father's death, she finds herself moving across the globe from Egypt to Canada. As if that wasn't enough, she finds out she'll be the only hijabi at her new school. The spotlight is on Zahra as she navigates and adjusts to her new environment. From dodging bullies to worrying about her twin brother's strange behavior, every day is eventful. Then she meets Hassan Abdullah, the volleyball player with soft words and a warm smile. What starts as an unexpected friendship turns into something more, something deeper and precious. As her feelings grow and tensions rise; at home and in school, Zahra must decide if holding onto their relationship is worth it, without compromising her faith and beliefs. And through it all, Zahra keeps her father close to her heart, writing letters to him. Sharing snippets about her days with him, even if he can't read them, helps on the heavy days. And between telling him about the chaos of high school and the boy who makes her heart flutter, she begins to find her own way.Complete
Enigmatic
That bandana boy, with those chocolate orbs, has my heart. "Live a life where happiness is precondition," she said. "What if the life is a condition for happiness?," he replied. Again, irony played its part. New city, new beginning, different emotions, different feelings. Old city, old past, distorted memories, entangled sentiments. "I hope we were alike," he said. "But we both have a heart," she replied. That moment, he really wished if they were same. Enigmatic: (adj.) mysterious and entrancing; beyond ordinary understanding
Summer in Cairo
Imagine being somewhere you know so well. Suddenly, the lights are turned off and you don't recognize where you are. That's how going back to Cairo for vacation felt for Nour. The thirteen year old has been dreaming for over two years of the moment she goes back home. Thing is, home didn't feel like home anymore. It's true that the building she used to live in was still the same, but its inhabitants were far from being the same. Her best friends were acting in ways she couldn't understand. Out of nowhere, she found herself thrusted in the middle of a jumble of endless problems. Every time she tried to help, things only kept getting out of hand. In the middle of all the chaos, a rhythm she didn't understand was starting to play within her heart. If only it remained within her heart, maybe she would've gotten herself into less trouble. Apparently, summer in Cairo was going to be more adventurous than she ever expected.
