She found love on a bridge built of language. She destroyed it to save her soul.
Hiraya, a guarded college student in Manila lives by the rules of her faith and the discipline of her sport. Her world is quiet until she connects with Abun, a charismatic Indonesian on a language exchange app. Over late-night talks and shared playlists from Reality Club to IV of Spades, their connection quickly burns into an impossible love story.
But Hiraya knows the truth: he is a Muslim, she is a Christian and their faiths are oceans apart. Terrified of a love that demands a sacrifice of everything she is, Hiraya chooses the ultimate act of self-preservation: she disappear.
What happens if two years later, when the leap you were afraid to take comes to find you?

"The Edge of Quiet"🌒
Genre: Dark Academia | Psychological ✦ Thriller | Coming-of-Age | Mystery | Slow Burn Romance Tagline: This isn't a school. It's a mirror-and some of us aren't ready to see what we are. They said it was just a school. But then the walls began to whisper. Seventeen-year-old Elara Syed never wanted attention. A scholarship kid with a quiet voice and observant eyes, she enters St. Edevane's Boarding Institute expecting strict rules, elitist classmates, and endless exams. What she doesn't expect is silence so thick it hums in her bones. From the moment she steps past the ivy-covered gates, something feels off. Whispers slip beneath dorm room doors. Footsteps echo down hallways that lead nowhere. There are rules-but none of them are written. And those who question too loudly? They vanish. Elara's only plan is to survive, blend in, and get out. But when she finds a red thread tied to her locker and a page from a missing girl's journal, she knows it's already too late for that. Then there's Aaran Halbrook, the school's golden boy with perfect grades and dead eyes. He's always surrounded by people but never truly with them. He watches her. Not with cruelty-but with recognition. Like he's seen someone like her before. Like he knows she shouldn't be here either. When Elara finds a matchbook with a symbol, opens a hidden door in the library, and wakes up with dirt under her fingernails after dreaming of a forbidden floor-she realizes this school isn't what it seems. It never was. ⸻ ✧ 𝘈 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥. But what if the gift is surviving trauma? ✧ 𝘈 𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴. But what if the shadows are watching? ✧ 𝘈 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴.

The Aimless Archer
Rishi never meant to fall in love-not with him, anyway. All she wanted was a taste of freedom. Moritz wasn't aiming either. Bratty, stubborn, always ready to argue-she was a walking headache he was asked to look after. Their banter became friendship. Their friendship became something they couldn't name. Until everything fell apart. She had secrets. He felt betrayed. And when it ended, they became polite, distant strangers who once almost had something real. But love, as they've learned, doesn't care for pride, timing, or unspoken truths. And sometimes, the arrow that missed the first time still knows exactly where to land.
INFATUATED

Could she ever think that one day HE will be the one without whom life would seem impossible? NOPE. Love at first sight only exists in fantasy. Real Muslimahs wait with patience and faith for the right time to approach. 🥈1st Runner Up of The Rahma Awards 2018🏆 🥉2nd Runner Up of Spotlight Season 2 🏆Complete

Because sometimes, the battle isn't against monsters, but against the voices that tell you you're not strong enough to fight at all. The heart has chosen. But how much can it bear before it breaks?Complete

Beyond the veil
She wore her hijab with pride. He wore his faith on his sleeve. They never meant to fall in love-but destiny had its own plan.

But they know what it means to love in silence. They know what it means to guard their hearts in a world where love outside marriage is tempting-but never right. This is not your typical college love story. This is the journey of two souls who fall in love not by crossing boundaries... but by respecting them. A story of emotional tension, friendship, family pressure, longing, and the courage to choose the halal path-together. 💌 "How do you fall in love... without disobeying the One who created love?" Read now and step beyond the veil-where modesty meets desire, and faith rewrites fate.
Written in Duas
Thauba is 19. A little lazy, a little lost, and way too scared of marriage (even though rishta aunties are always lurking 👀). She loves K-dramas, journaling her overthinking at 2AM, and pretending everything's okay-even when it's not. She didn't grow up in a super religious home. But somehow, Allah started finding His way into her heart... through her friends, through her little moments of peace, and maybe, just maybe-through him. Rezaan. The calm one. The one who doesn't say much but somehow sees through it all. The one who suddenly appears in her life with a question she never thought she'd hear. Now her world's flipping, her heart's racing, and she's left wondering-can someone who's scared of love... still be written into a love story? A soft, emotional journey of faith, fears, and the quiet beauty of nikkah. Not your typical romance, but maybe... the kind your soul was waiting for.
