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 marriage.
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.
This isn't the marriage she wanted.
But maybe... it's the love she needed.
Not My Choice, Still My Nikkah - where hearts collide, lines blur, and the real question isn't why...
but what now?

PARALLEL HEARTS
AN AREWA SLOW-BURN... ©2025 all rights reserved --- Aisha Hassan Saeed never planned to work for a man like Sudais Abubakar Muhammad - the meticulous, intimidating CEO who somehow manages to stress her, confuse her, and fascinate her all at once. She's outspoken, funny, and full of trouble. He's controlled, calculating, and impossible to read. They clash in the office, argue over little things, and pretend they can't stand each other. But underneath the sarcasm, the quiet looks, and the unspoken tension... something is shifting. This is a slow-burn story about a boss who swears he doesn't care, a PA who swears she can't be bothered, and the undeniable pull between two people who were never supposed to get close - yet somehow keep finding their way back to each other. --- ~"An image of complexity, painted in the subtilities of black and gray."
