She was meant to help him walk again, not make him fall to his knees.
Laila Hussein is a woman of quiet strength and graceful resilience, a physiotherapist who believes in hope when everyone else has given up. Khalid Marzouq is a man scarred by pain, loss, and the kind of silence that runs deep.
She didn't come to fall in love. She came to help him heal, but fate, with its own plans, pulls them into something deeper.
A slow-burning journey through vulnerability and grace, where love asks for nothing and transforms everything.

I turned to leave but paused at the door. My hand brushed the frame, my chest tightening with everything I couldn't say aloud. When I looked back, her eyes caught mine steadily and unflinching.
"I walk now, Laila," I said quietly, "...and I'll chase you for as long as it takes."
Then I left.

slice of life | romance Nadiah sniffled, wiped her nose, then walked toward the balcony and stared at the sky with a blank expression. Living on the second floor of this big house, the urge to jump and die crossed her mind more often than she wanted to admit. But here she was never attempted it, but suicidal thoughts were a constant. Like, all the time. The worst part was, she didn't even know what exactly she was suffering from. "Nadiah," Iman called softly. Nadiah turned her head toward her best friend. "You know you can trust me with anything, right?" "I know. Same goes for you, you can tell me anything too." "Then why?" Iman's voice wavered slightly. "Why do you pull away from me when you're going through hard times?"Iman simply wrapped her arm around Nadiah's shoulder, pulling her into a quiet, comforting side hug. Nadeem removed his hoodie and gently placed it over Nadiah's shoulders. He remained in his white shirt underneath. He scooped five spoonfuls of porridge into Nadiah's bowl, then served some for himself. "Here," he said, placing the bowl in front of her. Nadiah took it with both hands and began eating slowly, like a sloth. She chewed, but swallowing felt impossible. She didn't know why she was torturing herself like this. She simply had no appetite. No strength to even force it down. Nadiah sipped her coffee. "And what do you expect from your wife... emotionally?" Yusuf smiled gently. "Honesty. Not perfection. Just that she feels safe enough to be real with me." She looked down, breathing slowly. "And your role as a husband?" "Protector, provider, and partner. All three." That answer stayed with her long after the meeting ended. English book in Malay setting's. But since English isn't my first language, i used simple English so don't hesitate to read :) be kind, my first writing. (ED. Suicidal thoughts)
𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐀𝐓: 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘮𝘰𝘴
╰┈➤ 𝔟𝔬𝔬𝔨 𝔬𝔫𝔢 𝔦𝔫 𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔰𝔢𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰. 💫 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐀𝐓: 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘮𝘰𝘴. Some people don't enter your life like storms. They arrive like the sky- vast, unbothered, endless. He walked in like the breeze, easy, unhurried, carrying the scent of something familiar. Shreyas Iyer. A cricketer the nation admired, a man who made chaos look calm. He didn't chase the spotlight, it followed him. Not because he demanded attention, but because his presence made silence feel like a song. People often mistook his laid-back smile for indifference, but those who really knew him... knew he was the calm after every storm. She sat quietly, listening-always listening. Not to reply, but to understand. Aarohi Agarwal. A therapist with soft eyes and sharp comebacks. She healed people for a living, but rarely let anyone hold her broken pieces. Empathy was her strength. Boundaries were her armour. She didn't like messes, especially the emotional kind. But she was a beautiful contradiction, sweet and sassy, soft-spoken but never a pushover. She knew what hurt felt like... and more importantly, what healing looked like. Two people, neither looking for anything. One tired of being seen as just a jersey. The other too used to seeing through people. They didn't crash into each other. They collided gently, like constellations crossing paths. Not to complete, but to coexist. Because sometimes, the most unexpected souls find the quietest corners of each other. And sometimes, the cosmos doesn't scream. It whispers.
The space between
She's not the woman she thought she was - not the calm, controlled one. Torn between the weight of her mistakes and the pain of what's been taken from her, she's spiraling through anger, heartbreak, and a desperate need to be seen. This isn't about perfect love or clean endings. It's about the messy, real battle inside a woman who's learning to face her darkest truths... and maybe, just maybe, find a way back to herself. No apologies. No filter. Just Angela.
Veiled In The Starlight
"Kya aap humse nikah krna chahengi?" (Would you like to be in my Nikah?) Faraj looked straight into her eyes, his voice steady yet impossibly soft Zubia's breath caught. For a moment, everything else faded-the world, the noise, the past. Just his words, hanging between them, delicate yet unshakable. __________________________ She was just another intern. He was the doctor everyone feared. She was quiet, but not weak. He was strong, but not whole. She wanted freedom. He wanted control. But fate had other plans. When Dr. Faraj Ahmad-a man known for his discipline and detachment-finds himself entangled in the life of Zubia Fatima, an intern with secrets in her eyes and fire in her soul, something begins to crack. A stolen glance. A lingering silence. A battle of wills wrapped in unspoken words. She gets under his skin. He unsettles her in ways she can't explain. A heart that never wavered. A girl who never trusted. And a journey that neither of them saw coming. Some loves are whispered in stolen moments. Others are written in fate. This one? It's both. --- A story of love, longing, and the undeniable pull of destiny. Are you ready to witness a love that defies reason? Neither of them wanted love. But fate had already decided otherwise. A slow-burn story of resilience, longing, and a love worth fighting for. Because sometimes, the best love stories are the ones we never see coming. #2 halal[21/05/25] #6 blame[27/05/25] #5 fictionalmen[27/05/25]
