Before the books and the blackboards.
Before the scholarship letter that made her father cry on the prayer mat.
Before she stood at the gates of the university, shoulders square against a world that had always demanded more than she had to give-
There was silence.
The kind that filled the room when she first entered the world. No cries. No laughter. Just a mother bleeding regret and a father bleeding pride.
Jadwa Abdulrahman did not arrive with a golden spoon or a warm welcome. She was born into a quiet rebellion-two hearts that chose love over legacy, and paid for it with hunger and exile. Her name meant gift, but in those first days, she felt more like a burden that no one came to lift.

"The First Kiss Was Goodbye" by miss bidhuri
💔 The First Kiss Was Goodbye 💔 She hated him without a word. He loved her without a chance. Tanvi and Rudra never spoke. Yet their silences screamed. She called him arrogant, unreadable - the boy she claimed to hate but couldn't ignore. He watched from afar, silently falling for the girl who was never his to love. When fate forced their paths to cross, sparks didn't fly - they smoldered. In glances. In tension. In the way his touch branded her skin like a secret. But love is never enough in a world ruled by silence, family, and sacrifice. She left with no goodbye. He broke without a sound. One kiss. Too late. Too full of everything they never said. This isn't a love story. It's a heartbreak that lingers, a slow burn that never dies. Because some souls don't move on... They wait.
If I Can Hate You, Why Can't You? A Nigerian Story
Anger, pure anger and fear sipped through her veins threatening to burst out. She struggled vehemently to release her hand, but that only made him tighten his hand around her twisted arm. She cried out of pain but that only seemed to impress him. He smirked and said, "Mm, so fiesty?" He glared at her and pushed her against the wall. "You are evil Abdullah!" She almost shouted. Beads of sweat formed on her silk skin. Why was he making her life a living hell in her matrimonial home? She was supposed to live a happy life with her so-called husband, but instead, he is bullying her. "Just tell me, why?" She gazed at him confused wondering what he meant by that. "Why what?" She cried "Heh" he chuckled, "don't play dumb with me Kulthum. Just tell me why you chose him over me? What am I lacking? Huh? Tell me!" He shouted pushing her more against the wall. "Because you are evil! I never loved you in the first place, you are nothing worth loving" she spat as tears flowed down her beautiful face. As soon as he heard that, his face stoned up while his jaw clenched and his eyes became bloodshot. Such a sight she had never seen since she was married to him. "If I can hate you, why can't you, Abdullah?! I am so tired of this relationship, I can't do it anymore just let me go" With a dejected heart, he released her hand and whispered dangerously close to her ear, "If I can't have you, then no one will" He stumped off angrily while she slumped to the ground releasing a heavy sigh of defeat as tears rolled down her cheek. Since the day she got married to him, there had never been a day where she laughed for at least two minutes. All she knew at that very moment was that she was doomed! *completed but currently under editing*Lengkap

Becoming The Third
Prologue The darkness of the past loomed over her like a shadow, a constant reminder of the pain and suffering she had endured. Her mother's tears, her father's abuse, the toxic cycle of violence that had defined her childhood - it was a legacy she had vowed to break, but one that continued to haunt her. As she stood in the silence of her room, the memories came flooding back. The sound of her mother's sobs, the smell of her father's anger, the feeling of being trapped in a world that seemed determined to consume her. She had thought that she had escaped, that she had found a way to break free from the chains of her past. But the truth was, she was still trapped. Trapped in a cycle of abuse, trapped in a relationship that was slowly draining the life from her. She looked at herself in the mirror, and saw a reflection that was both familiar and foreign. The bruises on her lip, the fear in her eyes - it was a sight she had grown accustomed to, but one that still filled her with a deep sadness. She knew that she deserved better, that she was worth more than the pain and suffering she had endured. But the question was, would she ever be able to find the strength to walk away, to leave the past behind and forge a new future? The answer, she knew, lay in the unknown. It was a journey she would have to take, one step at a time, one breath at a time. And as she stood there, frozen in the silence of her room, she knew that she would have to find the courage to take that first step, no matter how daunting it seemed.Lengkap
