BEING MALAY is a 'collage of spoken word poetry... left muted' as it would be called. These poems are only performed in private but hope still surfaces for them to be heard. Read them in your heart while you follow the journey of this queer 15-year-old as he unravels the unanswerable question of what it means to be part of a race on one hand and random threads of thoughts being strewn together in one piece on the other.

With a flutter of her lashes and a sultry smile, she revealed her heart's deepest desires. 'Among my many dreams, one stands out - to be your queen,' she whispered, her voice husky and persuasive. 'I long to be the one you trust implicitly, the one whose love and care know no bounds. I aspire to be your partner in every sense, making you proud to call me your wife.

Pretty Little Thing | ✓
[Highest ranking: #1 in Spiritual on 15/8/18] ••• • In which a girl saved a boy's life in the most unexpected of circumstances • She drank water. He drank alcohol. She had a family who'd take a bullet for her. He had a family who'd throw him under the bus. She dreamt of her future. He dreamt of his death. Both are Muslims but only one is closer to their Lord. ••• *NOT CLICHÉ* This story in no way depicts the true Muslim culture. It's about the modern Muslims nowadays who steer away from the right path. This book contains some strong language, graphic content and violence so I advise you to read it with care.

All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced, copied, or distributed without permission. ***************************************** At its heart, The Rays of Hope is about what it means to heal. A boy fighting cancer while old grudges close in around him. A girl growing up without the love she deserved, learning to find her own worth despite everything. A brother who loses himself trying to hold onto the one person he can't bring back. A young man shouldering his family's world before he's had the chance to live his own. A teenager whose love for someone became a wound she carried across oceans - and a career that gave her enemies. A girl caught between loyalty and survival, standing in the gap for someone who has no one else. These characters don't have perfect lives. But they have each other - and sometimes, that's where hope begins.![Her Suspicious Healer [ 📕2 of Broken & Healed Series ] (Slow Updates)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/382525974-256-k866812.jpg)

Sarah × Faris / Alif ( also can be read as a Standalone) 'Bound by lies, Healed by Love'🖤 "So... all of that care, laughter, tenderness...it was all lies?" she asked, her voice trembling as tears welled up in her eyes. "It wasn't lies. Bal gözlüm! Please, listen to me. I love you, aşkım," he said, his hands gently cupping her face . "Love?" she scoffed, her voice rising with anger. "What kind of love are you talking about? Manipulation? Trickery? I don't even know who you are... I hate you!" She yanked his hands away, her body shaking with rage. "Why?" she sobbed. "Why did you heal me, only to break me again? What was my fault?" He remained silent. Her words hit him like a tidal wave. "From this instance, I'm leaving this house, leaving your damn life. I can't stay another second with a liar, fraud, manipulative man like you!" she said, pushing past him, her heart heavy with disgust. But before she could take another step, he was in front of her, lifting her with one arm with terrifying strength. His other hand traced her trembling lips, a dark intensity in his eyes. "Do you think I'll let you go? His voice was like ice, but his grip tightened on her waist. "The moment my eyes landed on you became Mine. And about manipulation, trickery..I'll do it every single time to get you...to keep you." he said darkly locking his grey eyes on her honey orbs. His lips pressed against hers in a bruising kiss. "I healed your scars, didn't I?" he murmured against her lips. "I'll heal them too. Give me a chance, Bal Gözlüm" __________ Story of Sarah Ahmed and Alif/ Faris Rahman is here🖤✨ A tale woven with lies, manipulation, duality but what overshadowed all of them is His Love for Her. He understood her pain more than anyone ever could and he can go any lengths to claim her, heal her. Read the character aesthetics and Prologue to know more.
