The Quietest Goodbye

In the quiet lanes behind the Malik household, Ayla Malik grows up learning how to turn storms into smiles. As the eldest daughter, she carries burdens far heavier than her schoolbooks, yet her laughter remains the brightest thing in her home. Her world is stitched together with her seven friends-Areej, Mahira, Iqra, Yusra, Fatima, Noorain, and Zara-and with the stories she writes to escape the noise inside her house.

But growing up has a way of dimming even the warmest lights.

As Ayla steps into her teenage years, the people she trusted begin to drift, the dreams she held start to crumble, and the girl who once wrote for joy suddenly writes to survive. Between a silent crush on Mohammad Azlan and an unexpected connection with Rayyan Khan, she finds herself caught between the worlds she creates and the one she cannot control.

And then-life changes quietly, suddenly, entirely.

Ayla begins writing a diary, not for herself, but for the boy who once promised he would never leave. A diary filled with questions, memories, and the kind of truth that can only be written when time is slipping through one's fingers.

When she is gone, only her words will remain-
and a single request echoing in the last page:

"Will you finish this story for me?"
