She says, tearfully, "No one loves me, why are you doing this? I'm a stranger to you. You've brought me here to use me, haven't you?" Her eyes are brimming with tears. He's shocked by her words, but then he gently wipes away her tears with a handkerchief, looking at her face, and says," aap humri jaan hai ,mohbbat ho gyi hai is dil ko aapse bas itna chahte hai ki aap hume apne is bade se dil me ek choti si jagah de " (You are my life. I've fallen in love with you. My heart only desires one thing from you - to give me a small place in your big heart) . . . . . Cover credit by @03myficational

" karthik please meri bat suno yar.... " chup ho jao Ridhima....I beg you please be silent " my eyes turned disbelief and it hurts the man who used to listen to me with his whole heart now begging me to not utter a word. I didn't say anything, because I knew nothing would change. Before I realized, we were already at my parents' house. Stopping the car, he got out, came to my side, and opened the door. "Karthik, please... ek baar. Just once, hear me out," I pleaded, but his expression didn't change. Suddenly, he lifted me out of the car. "Andar jao, Ridhima. Aur us ghar mein kabhi pair mat rakhna." He put me down making me shake my head as my voice stopped for the word I was going to speak. Saying this, he left. "Is this the end?" I asked myself in disbelief as my vision blurred from the unstoppable tears.

Adventures with Carl and his magic mandala

Hana doesn't speak much. She just reads. Every Thursday, she sits in the corner of Alif Corner behind her niqab, a hazel notebook in her hands and eyes that have carried more silence than words. Rayyan owns Alif Corner. He doesn't speak much either. He just notices. The way she sits in the same spot. The way she holds a book like it's the only thing keeping her steady that day. So he starts leaving notes in the books he sets aside for her. He never signs them. He never approaches her. Hana doesn't know who writes them. But she keeps every single one, folded carefully like a treasure, Because after a betrayal that left her heart guarded and her name spoken in whispers, these small, unsigned words are the only things that make her feel seen again. Rayyan doesn't know she keeps them. He doesn't know she rereads them on the nights her own home feels heavy. He only knows that her calm deserves to be protected, not disturbed. What begins as silence slowly becomes something else. A connection built in glances, in shared books, in prayers whispered at 2 AM. It's not fast. It's not loud. But it's real. This is a story about a love that never needed to be spoken. About patience that outlasts doubt. About two people brought together by qadr, when neither of them was looking. But some promises aren't meant to last a lifetime in this dunya. Some are meant to leave a legacy that does. It begins with a note left on a shelf. It ends with a heart that learned to trust again - even after goodbye. ••••••• " Threads of Qadr In Love " is a story about healing in quiet places, about faith that holds you when you can't hold yourself, and about love that doesn't need to be spoken to be felt. #1 in niqabi - 14.05.2026 #1 in bookshop - 01.06.2026 #1 in bookshop - 30.06.2026

Maia Santiago believes in plans. She colors her world in neat lines, maps her days down to the very last minute, and has known since she was twelve exactly where her life is going: straight toward medicine, straight toward UP Manila. There is no room for surprises. There is certainly no room for Alas Bueno-swimmer, dreamer, and the boy who keeps dripping chlorine water on her library books. Alas has belonged to the water since he was nine years old. It is the only place where everything makes sense. Until he meets a girl who quotes old books and sees straight through his easy smiles, finding the boy who is afraid of sinking just beneath the surface. Summer in Balingoan was meant to be simple: study for exams, train for regionals, wait for the world to change. But when words begin to appear in the margins of pages, and hands find their way to rest gently against backs, two lives that were never supposed to fit together suddenly click into place. And slowly, they learn that perfect timing matters far less than perfect feeling. Because sometimes, the person who pulls you under is the very same one who teaches you how to float. Undercurrent is a story about love, letting go, and discovering that the most beautiful things in life are never written down on any schedule.
