He stood up, moving closer to her. "A little something," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "First tell me you consent." She tried to step aside but he slammed his palms against the tree trunk, shoving her against it. "You said anything." She realized what he meant and nearly fell back. "No! I didn't mean that. You-you can't." "Give me your brother then." Her eyes welled up with tears. "P-please. I've never- I can't." "Anything." "We're not married." He laughed at that. "We don't have to be." She met his gaze and buried her face slightly in Ruhayl's hair. It was amazing how silent that kid was. "I-I don't-" He took a step back and shrugged. He wasn't one to force himself on a girl. His ways were malicious but he loathed the idea of rape. "All right. Fine. Let's play a game then." Her eyes narrowed in suspicion. "A game?" "If you survive, I'll consider sparing your brothers. If you lose, you will give me what I want willingly. Simple." He smirked. In both cases, he would win.

Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, Mateen Abbasi is used to having the world in the palm of his hand to use or discard. The word defeat is unknown to him. The only thing Hajra Sajjad never learnt is giving up. And she might've come in Mateen's life just to give him a taste of that and more. What neither saw coming was that fate had already written for their paths to cross. And despite their differences helped them find unexpected heartbreak, faith and love in process.

Ephemeral - lasting only for a short time The love which had no bounds, now just left some deep wounds, The jar of love which we thought we will keep till eternity, Was now just empty, We fell in love due to a simple complication, But miscommunication lead us to fall out, Falling in love seems really cheesy, But falling out ain't really easy, People said our love was like wine, But shouldn't it have gone better with time? Started - 1/5/2022 Ended - 11/4/2023

[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.

" What do you mean, doctor?" I asked. My heart dropping, putting piece to piece together. " Yes, Jahangir Ali Khan-" tension was coiling around my pulse. " your wife has a mental condition in which she wants to attempt chances of suicide more than she wants chances to live." Those words had hell breaking loose as I stood up grabbing the doctor by his collar. " Shut your pretty mouth or else I'll have to slit it." I groaned. The doctor panicked. Fear stricken eyes staring at me. " Mr. Jahangir, this is the ultimate truth." The man choked. Choking up my emotions and hopes- altogether. - When Jahan's beloved wife leaves him behind in this world. He loses hope, accepting that life is nothing more but his suffering.

[BLURB] "Well, now I'm back and I'm gonna drag you to court, you piece of shite," she said before passing a humorless chortle. "Do that and you're doomed." He sniggered, his manevolent gaze hurling obscenities towards her. "Oh yeah? How?" She rose a perfect eyebrow, animosity etched on each lineament. "Let's just say, I have something of yours that'll destroy you." The telltale monstrosity perceptible in his evil kingdom of eyes set a havoc inside her adrenaline rushing body but she held her grounds strong. "And what's that?" And there he showed her something that choked the life out of her frail body as she lost her balance in dizziness. ****** Love is elusive but sometimes it knocks right at your door but you're too arrogant to pay it any heed or maybe too scared to acknowledge it. Either way, destiny always knows how to play its part well. You can ignore it but can never run away from it. It never lets you evade itself and follows you everywhere, like a shadow. Crooning and spreading its arms right open at you, enveloping you from every nook, cajoling you, brandishing your tattered soul, and enticing you to the point where you have to surrender and accept it. Where you have to hold on to it and let everything else go. Because sometimes all a ragged soul and a chasm heart need is a pint of love. The tale of two youngsters who kept finding their way towards each other no matter how hard they tried to ignore it. Life would always collide their paths. Always making up their minds to never see each other again to always bumping on each other, destiny already had something else in store for them. So what was it? A journey of loathing to love. A journey of holding on and letting go.
