ᴇᴄʜᴏᴇꜱ (ᴡʟᴡ)
For Makena, life is a quiet navigation of grief and unspoken fears, especially around a truth she barely dares to name. But everything shifts the day a single word, searched with trembling hands, cracks something open. Suddenly, she's drawn into stories she can't unread, stories that awaken a love she was taught to fear. Then comes Aziza. With eyes that make Makena forget every rule she's written to protect herself, Aziza is everything she fears... and secretly longs for. Now, Makena must make a decision: to embrace a love that feels like both salvation and betrayal, or to retreat into the lonely safety of denial. Echoes is a story of quiet defiance, of finding healing in unexpected places, and of a love so profound it just might rewrite everything Makena thought she knew about faith, family, and herself.Complete

The Quiet That Killed Her
Sometimes, diam bukan tenang. It's the sound of someone slowly disappearing. Thaira Miah, 17. Once ceria, full of laughter, and dreaming of becoming the next Da Vinci. But when she started feeling empty, lost, and tired all the time, everyone brushed it off. "Overthinking je." "Kurang ibadah agaknya." "Nanti okay lah tu." Her family called it a phase. Her friends called it drama. And the one person who promised help left her with scars and silence. She smiled anyway. She drew her pain in secret. Her art became her diary, her wounds her canvas. But no one looked close enough. This is the story of the signs they missed. The girl they lost. And the quiet that killed her. A heart-wrenching novel about hidden depression, judgement masked as advice, and the danger of not truly listening when someone says, "I'm not okay."Complete
Echoes of Home
Every wound tells a story. Every hug carries history. And every laugh is a rebellion against everything lost. If you've ever loved someone through distance, waited for a voice you weren't sure you'd hear again, or fought to reclaim joy after everything changed.... this story is waiting for you. It's not about survival. It's about coming home. This is the story of what happens after the world breaks, and before the heart fully heals. Lives drift apart in silence, held together only by memory, loyalty, and the ache of what used to be. It's a journey of fractured timelines, of love waiting in the quiet, and of friendships remade under pressure. At its core, this is about choosing each other again when hope seems misplaced and finding home not in safety but in presence. If you've ever felt out of sync with your own story, this one knows how it feels. And it will remind you: the heart remembers its rhythm, even after everything else forgets.Complete
The Lavender Haze (GL)

Now the world around her is beginning to crack- And something is clawing its way through the haze. A secret too heavy to carry. A love too deep to forget. And a truth powerful enough to burn everything down.

The Quiet Between Us
It's not a love story. It's the ache of wanting someone you were never meant to want. She didn't plan to feel anything. He wasn't even supposed to be the doctor. What was meant to be a routine appointment stirred something deeper-a quiet ache, a forbidden pull. In the space between silence and small talk, her world shifted. This is a true story of unexpected emotional connection, of chemistry that whispered instead of shouted, and of the blurred lines between care and curiosity. It's not a love story. It's a story of awareness. Of reflection. Of the quiet ache of wanting- someone you were never supposed to want anything from.
