Some dreams run bone deep. Others...they die a silent death.
Yashfeen a successful publishing agent in Paris, is living the life she dreamed, or...as much as she's allowed to dream.
As the oldest daughter in an Asian family sacrifice came wrapped in silence, chai and a little bundle of joy that is her younger sister.
Yashfeen sacrificed her dreams because Pakistani society just will not let someone study to cure animals.
What happens when she meet a man clearly living the life she dreamed for herself?
"Eldest daughters in an Asian household are the toughest men you'll meet."
Ayan is living the life he dreamed but he knows that there always is a cost but this one was not paid by him.
He's aware of the sister who crushed her dreams so he could live his.
But the career he loves came with a lot of animals, late night emergencies and a broken relationship.
What happens when he is forced into another with someone who's dream he's living?
Is his heart still intact enough to be broken again?
"Some dreams aren't stolen - they're handed to you with a smile. And somehow, that's worse."

IN SILENCE I STAYED
Ranya Rabiu is everything a perfect daughter should be-until her body begins to fail and her soul starts to rebel. Engaged to a man who treats her like an achievement, she drifts through life half-awake, suffocating under obedience and silence. Then she meets Dr. Zaydan Malik-quiet, watchful, dangerously gentle. He doesn't try to save her. He simply sees her, and that changes everything. As Ranya begins to awaken, the world tightens its grip. Love becomes a liability. Choice becomes a sin. Forced into a marriage she never chose, she is sealed inside a house where her voice fades, her faith flickers, and the one person who made her feel real disappears. This is not a love story. It's the story of what happens when a woman learns who she is-and the cost of wanting more.Complete
Wreck Me Softly
#239 6-10-25 Then I asked the question that burned me even then: "How did you know it was real love?" His answer cut through years to find me now, on my knees in fire: "When death terrifies you... not because it'll hurt, but because you might die before seeing her again. Before holding her. Before telling her she was enough. Before she knows you loved her more than your own breath. When your last thought isn't 'I'm dying,' but 'she won't know how much I loved her.' That's when you've crossed every line." My Ayat... you were the only prayer I whispered without words... the only wound I loved wearing. I'm sorry. For everything I did. Everything I didn't do. For not loving you better... not loving you louder..." My voice fell apart. "And if there's something after this... I'll find you. Even there. Always." But the fear clawed deeper: She'll never know the small things, the secrets I kept buried. --- I love you, Zayyan!! her voice once screamed. And I smiled, stupid and young. Never let me go... she'd whispered into my neck. And I'd sworn I wouldn't. "You'll stay?" she murmured. "I'll always stay," I promised. But I'm breaking that promise now... I saw myself pluck a white flower, tucking it behind her ear, knuckles brushing her cheek. "You look like you walked out of a fucking poem," I'd whispered. She laughed. "You sound like a 90s hero." "I'd be one," I'd said, voice softer, "just for you."

veils of destiny
Islamic romance/ family drama "Some promises aren't remembered by heart - they're written by destiny" Inaya grew up in a house where laughter echoed louder than words and love was always wrapped in faith. At five, she was bound in nikah to her older cousin Aleem - a boy who once made her sit in his lap to explain what hijab truly meant. Fifteen years later, she returns to Karachi after studying abroad - modern, lively, unveiled - never realising she's stepping back into the home of the man who already belongs to her by the decree of their elders. Aleem Ahmed, now a disciplined businessman and man of deen, has carried that childhood nikah as both duty and prayer. Protective yet gentle, he believes a woman's honour is her crown - and Inaya, with her laughter and light, is the crown he vowed to protect. Amid family gatherings, cousin banter, evening chai, and whispered duas under the same old roof, unfolds a story not of loss - but of guidance, patience, and the slow rediscovery of love within the boundaries of faith. Because sometimes, qismat ke parde -the veils of destiny-don't separate hearts; they teach them how to meet with modesty.
