I put the grocery bags down after coming inside the house, setting my keys on the counter and placing the bags on the table, putting the stuff away, until I heard a voice.
"FATIMA, FATIMA!" Mama was calling me, hm I wonder what for and why did she sound excited as well?
"Yes mama? Ana in the kitchen Mama." She came in holding two papers.
"We're going! We're going to Jerusalem, to see your cousin get married!" That's when my whole world crashes down.
I'm going to Jerusalem ...that means I have to see my cousin Samer, whom I've avoided for 5 years, since I was 16. Ya Allah help me through this. I even remember when I left Amman 5 years ago, and let's just say that it didn't end well between a 16 year old and a 21 year old.

His Haram Touch
Asad Khan Gusto (The Gay Husband) His father wants him to become a son His mother wants him to become a beast The society wants him to become a man His wife wants him to become a husband But He just wants to be a human Aslia Gusto (The Sick Wife) Her stepfather wants her to become a wife Her mother wants her to survive The society wants her to be submissive Her husband wants her to be dead But she just wants to live 🍁🍁🍁 Aslia Gusto,she was given the title of a wife but never the role. Won the hearts of many but never her husband. But despite her husband's cold persona she still fell first but he did fall harder but in a complicated way. For the trial of their marriage was not you and me against the world but you and me against your rainbow world. This story wasn't just about being confused with yourself,or being at home in the wrong womb. This was also a sentiment of a wife,terrified to lose her husband,not just from the call of death but also from the call of Haram. If a marriage vow is sacred and made in front of God when it is a sin to fall in love? If a man is not for a man,would the wife be powerful enough to free her husband from the Haram touch? Love sees no gender,but the origin of romance is Adam and Eve. 🚨🚨🚨 Heavy content Violence Vulgar words : #1 in Allah(02/15/2026) #1 in Spiritual (03/27/26) #1 in Islam(01/10/26) #1 in IslamicRomance (12/11/25) #1 in Faith-in-God (12/24/25) #1 in Muslimlovestory(03/27/26) #1 in Halal(03/29/26) 2025Complete
Bowled Over By The Broken
No matter how close you are to them, there are certain things you just don't say. No matter how lonely you feel, there are certain people you just don't befriend. No matter how much you've fallen, there's always a guy you shouldn't give your heart to... Sadly for me, I learnt the last one only after I had gotten my heart broken. They say that you shouldn't look down upon anyone, or you will be put in their situation and made to experience the crisis. When I was fourteen, I had rolled my eyes at a girl who was sobbing histerically over a guy who liked her best friend. And I was probably paying the price for that now. However, I was trying my best to fit my feet in the shoes I had been given. I was trying and I was managing just fine. What I didn't need was a trouble maker who entered my life without permission. The guy who claimed to be bowled over by me, the one with a broken heart. Little did he know, I had entrusted myself to Al Malik, The Owner of me and my heart. And if he had to reach me, he had to do so by pleasing Allah. Which wasn't possible for a guy like him. Or so I thought.Complete
