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.

Becoming The Third  by Loyiso491
1 part Complete Mature
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.
All That We Never Said by thethinker266

Avira Mehra has lived her life in quiet compliance. Her days are a careful rhythm of expectations - school, home, and the soft, suffocating reminders of a future she never chose. She speaks softly because her words are weighed before they leave her mouth. She smiles because it is easier than explaining the hollow ache in her chest. She exists in a house filled with love, but not freedom - where her father's word is law, her mother's silence is agreement, and her own desires are something she has learned to fold away, like letters that will never be sent. Her marriage has been arranged since she was sixteen. The man is good enough, her parents say. Stable, respectable, the sort who will "take care" of her. Avira has seen him in meetings heavy with awkward politeness. She tells herself it will be fine. It always is. People get used to these things. She will get used to it too. Still... sometimes she wonders if life is meant to be endured instead of lived. Sometimes she catches herself watching the world outside her window - the laughter of strangers, the recklessness of youth - and she feels a pull, sharp and unnameable, toward something she's never had. And then Pretibha Singh arrives. She is the kind of girl people turn to look at - loud without speaking, sharp without trying. Pretibha wears her freedom like it was stitched into her skin, unashamed, unafraid, untouched by the chains Avira has known all her life. She is everything Avira was told not to be, and perhaps that is why Avira cannot look away. One evening, under the dim glow of a streetlamp, Avira asks the question that has been burning her alive. "If things were different... would you stay?" Pretibha's gaze holds hers for a long, breaking moment. When she finally answers, her voice is softer than Avira has ever heard it. "If things were different... you wouldn't need to ask." And Avira realizes - some people don't just change your life. They show you the life you'll never have.
No One Heard Her Cry by black_hunterr
30 parts Complete
Anaya, an eighteen-year-old girl, is the silent pillar of a broken household. The eldest daughter of a family teetering on the edge of collapse, she lives in the shadow of her father's violent rage and her mother's quiet endurance. Her father, once full of ambition, now drowns in bitterness and unemployment. His fists often speak louder than his words, leaving bruises not just on skin, but on souls. Her mother, worn and weary, works long hours to keep the family afloat. She bears her husband's fury without protest, trying to shield her daughters from a storm that never ends. But Anaya sees everything. She learns early that no one is coming to save her. So she saves herself-bit by bit. She wakes before dawn to prepare for school, studies harder than anyone else in her class, and then comes home to cook, clean, and protect Meera, her fifteen-year-old sister. She never cries in front of them. Her tears belong only to the silence of the night, muffled by her pillow. All she's ever wanted is love that doesn't hurt. A voice that doesn't yell. Hands that don't bruise. A home where she's not afraid to breathe. And then she meets Aryan - a calm, composed naval officer who sees through the mask she wears. With every gentle word, every respectful glance, Aryan offers a world Anaya never believed existed. But her heart, so used to scars, trembles at the thought of trust. What if love turns cruel again? What if Aryan, too, becomes her father? Anaya stands at a crossroads - between the trauma of the past and the terrifying hope of a better future. Will she bury her heart to protect it, or will she finally let it bloom in the light it always deserved?
