Between brothers

Safa had never been a believer in fairy tales, much less love. When her father arranged for her to marry a man she barely knew, it was fine- love wasn't part of the deal, right? But life has a twisted sense of humor, because now she's married, pregnant, and actually happy. The kind of happy that feels surreal, especially for someone who never asked for any of this.

Enter Abdallah. The ex-best friend who disappeared after their fallout four years ago. The one who left her with nothing but unanswered questions and sleepless nights. Now he's back, and his timing? Impeccable. Not only does he have to wrap his head around her being married to his brother, but she's also glowing with a happiness he's never seen before. And the baby? Well, that's just the cherry on top of this painfully ironic sundae.

Every time they meet, it's like Abdallah can't escape the shadows of the past-the what-ifs, the lost friendship, the sting of seeing her thriving in a life he thought she'd never want. And for Safa? Well, she's not exactly sure what bothers her more: his clueless confusion or the fact that some part of her wonders if he's still the boy who once meant everything.

In the end, it's not just their history that lingers-it's the future they never saw coming.
