Aches Of The Heart ✔️
AOTH Sagir Bawa was once a man overflowing with love and tenderness until his first heartbreak shattered his soul in the cruellest way imaginable. That single event transformed him, filling his heart with bitterness and leaving him vowing never to love again. Relationships, marriage, and the thought of being with another woman became a distant, scorned memory. But fate rarely follows the plans we make. When his parents decide to force him into an arranged marriage, despite his vehement protests, Sagir finds himself standing on the precipice of a promise he made long ago. Will he bend to their will, or stay true to his vow to never love again? Then came her........ Hairana Sultan, whose stubbornness and fiery personality masked a life overshadowed by aching sorrow. She believed love was nothing but an illusion-a word spoken but never truly felt. And like Sagir, marriage had been forced upon her, though to Hairana, it seemed like the only way to grasp her freedom. But secrets have their own gravity, and Hairana's mother holds the weightiest one of all-one that could shake Hairana's world to its core. When Sagir and Hairana's paths collide, both tethered by destiny, their unyielding stubbornness threatens to combust. Neither believes in love; neither trusts the idea of happiness shared with another. Yet, can the heart remain untouched when fate is determined to intervene? As challenges arise, and life's trials test the strength of their resolve, will their hearts soften toward each other-or will their aching hearts remain impenetrable, refusing to bow to the whispers of love? ......... ☺️☺️☺️Complete
In the silence of us
Amira never thought her father's old friend at the bank would change the course of her life. What began as family visits and polite conversations soon pulled her into the orbit of Captain Ibrahim. He was everything she was not expecting- calm, reserved, disciplined, a man who spoke more in silence than in words. She, on the other hand, wanted magic. She dreamed of a love that looked like the movies. But what she found was something else entirely- an arrangement dressed as marriage. Between family pressures, cultural clashes, and his unfinished past, Amira learns that respect is not the same as love. And Ibrahim must decide if silence can ever hold a heart, or if love, once lost, is too fragile to be found again.
