He loved her in silence, waited in darkness, and rose in flames - only to burn alone. Karim, a simple schoolboy, fell for his sister's best friend, Anum. What began as innocent teenage love turned into a storm of secrets, punishments, and pain. When society pulled them apart, Karim waited... for six long years. But fate had a darker plan. Just when he thought his love would return, she was promised to someone else - his own brother. Crushed yet determined, Karim built an empire, changed his face, and tried to become the man her family would never say no to. But some love stories don't end in marriage. Some end in silence, on the night of someone else's wedding. "In Another Life, Anum" is a haunting tale of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and the kind of waiting that turns into a curse. A story that doesn't ask to be remembered - it demands to be felt.

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.
