Iqra and Zaid have known each other since they were kids-after that crazy dare where they both jumped out of a window. But for years, they pretended not to know each other, acting like they weren't family friends and definitely didn't like each other. They pretended not to know, and in doing so, tried to hide the feelings that were quietly growing beneath the surface.
When Zaid moves into Iqra's class years later, those stolen looks and awkward moments start to mean something real. Iqra is quietly battling her own demons, and when Zaid finally sees past her walls, he becomes the one person she can lean on.
Iqra's dream has always been to get married young, and Zaid is determined to make that wish come true, no matter the hurdles.
From school secrets to university struggles, family drama to the surprise of twins, this story is about pretending not to care, falling in love anyway, and building a life together-one messy, beautiful moment at a time.

Aangan Ke Raaz
In a house where every wall guards a secret and every rooftop whispers a love story, Zara and Khizar have grown up side by side-cousins, co-conspirators, and silent soulmates. She's soft-spoken sunshine; he's a storm in a suit. Everyone sees the spark. They just refuse to name it. Then a rishta arrives for Zara, and the façade cracks open, spilling stolen glances, hidden notes, midnight-chai confessions, and a love that has been blooming in plain sight for years. Set in the tangled warmth of an old Islamabad joint-family courtyard, Aangan Ka Raaz is a tale of tradition, teasing, and the kind of love that finally steps into the light-because some secrets are meant to be claimed.

Fated
'Be mine, Maya' He declared, anticipating for my response. 'I have to go' I managed to stutter, my vision getting blurry with tears. I tried to leave but he pushed me back against the wall. 'Please Zain...I have to go...' I sobbed. 'No' He shook his head, not agreeing to let me go. 'I know you are scared but I have seen it...I know you have feelings for me too, don't push me away...it'll be a sin if we are not together' He moved his hands to my face to wipe the tears away from my eyes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a story of Zain and Maya.
