UNFORGETTABLE |Completed & Undergoing Editing|
This is not a happy-ever-after romance. This is a story of love, loss, and the unexpected turns of fate. Munaar Ahmad is the perfect example of a young Muslim Fulani girl... bright, free-spirited, and living life just the way she dreamed. But her world shatters when an old promise between their parents forces her into marriage with her next-door neighbour... the same man she's secretly loved since childhood. Suddenly, Munaar finds herself torn between duty and desire, fear and hope. Can she cope with the weight of early marriage? Will she survive the changes it brings? And... will she ever find love in the place she least expected? Find out in Unforgettable, a story that will tug at your heart, test your tears, and remind you what it truly means to love.
Two Stories
Two Stories What happens when the rich, spoiled, and uncultured Rayyan A. Ahmed and Anaya A. Ahmed-siblings raised in the USA-are suddenly forced by their father, Mr. Abbas, to marry siblings who are their complete opposites: the disciplined and well-mannered Zeenat Muhammad and Zayd Muhammad? It's not love or faith that convinces them to say yes-it's a deal. Anaya agrees only because she's promised a major project by her father, while Rayyan accepts because he's offered the CEO position of the family company. But there's a condition: they must not only marry but also prove themselves respectful, settled, and committed within two weeks. But what happens once they get what they want? Will they still choose to stay married-or will they walk away? And worse... what happens if they fail and lose everything?

Burning Blue
𝓐𝓼𝓶𝓪 𝓜𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓭 is the model daughter of Abdulrahman and Alma Murad. She's elegant, composed and carefully shaped to meet her parent's expectations. Every decision - her career, her friends, even her fiancé has been curated to preserve the perfect image. Asma lives to please and has never failed to do so. 𝓐𝓶𝓲𝓻 𝓜𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓭 is the exact opposite - reckless, inconsistent and a constant headache to the family. Scandals seem to follow him, and his charm rarely covers the mess he leaves behind. To Asma, he embodies everything she was trained not to be. When the family announces their engagement, she feels sentenced and he feels trapped. Their first reaction is denial; there's no way they could ever fit together. Yet the more they clash, the more they expose the cracks in each other's carefully guarded masks. Is this the story of two people destined to break one another, or of enemies triggering a love neither saw coming?
His For A While

But when a family will forces them into a contract marriage, pretending to be a couple becomes part of the deal. They agree to play along, for now, and walk away when it's all over. Only it's not that simple. Not when old feelings begin to resurface. Not when the silence between them starts to speak louder than words.

when love lasts
When Allah wants two souls to be together, they will even if the distance between them is the distance between heaven and earth _________ Not every love story begins with fireworks. Sometimes, it starts with broken hearts, quiet prayers, and two souls carrying wounds only time can soothe. Rahmah never believed love would come for her-at least not the kind that stays. The kind that sees your scars, your fears, your silence... and chooses you still. Ahmad was never looking for love, until he found it staring back at him in the quiet strength of a woman who didn't even know her worth. This is a story of two hearts-flawed, fragile, and faithful. Of pain, healing, and the kind of love that doesn't just come and go. It lasts. When love is written by the One who created hearts... it never fades. Follow me to unravel the incredible love story of Ahmad and Rahmah I'm currently writing this book and sharing it as I go. It's not perfect yet, expect some/a lot of errors and unpolished moments. I truly appreciate your presence and support during the process. Hijram EnjoyyyComplete
