Isko comes from a supportive family, yet he struggles to find his true direction in life while facing constant bullying both inside and outside of school. His life takes a turn when he reconnects with his childhood neighbor, Maui Tj Chavez, the school gang leader. Maui, on the other hand, has a clear ambition: he dreams of becoming a doctor but lacks the financial means to pursue this goal. Every morning, he leaves for his Grade 3 class at the same school as Isko. Even though his class was dismissed at noon, he would return home at night exactly when Isko's class ended, drawing them to walk home together. Because of his intimidating reputation, Isko's bullies keep their distance from them. As they grow closer, as the world hates them... Maui protects Isko's freedom, while Isko, still uncertain of his own future, agrees to carry on Maui's fading dream of becoming a doctor. They did what they could to hold on to their dreams and hope. But everything falls apart when Isko accidentally kills a student who had been bullying him, dragging them both into a catastrophe that changes everything.

{𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐀 & 𝐙𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍} || 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 || Aisha Farooq spent years fighting for a future that belonged to her. Becoming a doctor wasn't just a dream anymore, it was proof that a woman could be more than someone's daughter, wife, or mother. But one family decision shattered everything. Forced into a Nikkah with her cousin Zayan Rahman, Aisha enters a marriage she never wanted with a man she believes will never understand her ambitions. To the world, Zayan is charming, careless, and impossible to take seriously. But behind his effortless smiles lies years of silent love and the painful truth that no matter how long he waited for Aisha, she never once looked at him the same way. Trapped between family expectations, buried resentment, and feelings neither of them know how to handle, their marriage becomes a battlefield of pride, heartbreak, and slowly unfolding love. Because sometimes destiny doesn't tie souls together gently. Sometimes it knots them so tightly that breaking apart becomes impossible
