Not My Choice, Still My Nikkah!

Afeeyah was never supposed to be his wife.

She was his sister.
The little girl who used to steal his hoodies, hide behind his legs, and fall asleep on his shoulder during long car rides.

Afdal loved her - always. But not this way.

He loved her in every unseen, unspoken, unreturnable way a boy could love the girl raised beside him.

Then life twisted. Destiny flipped the script.
And suddenly, the girl who once called him brother...
became the woman tied to him by nikkah.

But love doesn't follow logic.
And hearts don't obey timelines.

Now Afeeyah must learn to live with a man she still sees through the lens of childhood...
While Afdal fights to unbury a love he buried long ago.

This isn't a fairy tale.
This is faith, family, and a marriage born from chaos.

Not My Choice, Still My Nikkah - where hearts collide, lines blur, and the real question isn't why...
but what now?

This isn't the marriage she wanted.
But maybe... it's the love she needed.
