He started walking toward her, causing her to instinctively take a few steps back. Before she knew it, she was pressed between the car and her husband, with no way to escape. Her breathing deepened as he gently held her chin, lifting it so that she had no choice but to meet his eyes. "Aap mujhe avoid kar rahi hain?" His voice was calm, but the question felt more like a statement. Her throat tightened, her voice stuck. She could only shake her head in denial. (Are you avoiding me?) "Nahi?" he repeated, slightly raising an eyebrow, as if daring her to lie. (No?) "Aisi... aisi koi baat nahi hai," she stammered, quickly ducking her head down as he loosened his grip on her chin. (It's...It's nothing like that) ------ Aisha grew up finding solace in her faith, which shaped her values and dreams of building a loving, faith-filled home. Since high school, she'd harbored a soft spot for Omar, a family friend whose ambition and drive set him on a different path. While Omar respected his parents' beliefs, his focus was on building a successful business, and over time, he distanced himself from religion, feeling isolated even within his close-knit family. When their families proposed marriage, Omar agreed out of respect, viewing it as a formality rather than a heartfelt commitment. A year into their marriage, Aisha found herself yearning for a connection that Omar, still focused on his ambitions, seemed unable to give. Yet, hints of change began to emerge, offering hope for a journey that might bring them closer, rooted in love and faith.

"මට දෙන්න ලෝභයි....නුබ වෙන කාටවත්..... ඒත් නුබේ වචනවල හැටියට ආදරේ පරිත්‍යාගයක්..."

In the gilded halls of Enpire, whispers are sharper than daggers. Prince Jathar has long endured the murmurs comparing him to his perfect brother, Prince Baci - everyone says he should be the heir. But when talk turns to the palace maid Kellara and her impending wedding, Jathar finds himself consumed by a jealousy he cannot name, and a longing he dares not show. Kellara has served the royal family with quiet devotion, hiding a secret even she does not fully understand. Strange runes have begun to burn across her skin, each pulse of pain whispering her doom. When she seeks the help of a witch, Kellara learns that her curse is older - and darker - than any spell. And it is bound by one truth: her life is entwined with that of her fated mate. As the king's death shakes the realm, duty and desire collide. Jathar must decide whether to bury his forbidden feelings... or risk everything to save the woman whose destiny could either damn him - or set him free. Love, power, and ancient magic weave a perilous path in this tale of cursed hearts and impossible choices.

Every day. Every feeling. Every fight. In this life. I published this book because I believe people share similar lessons, just in different timelines. And here, I express my realizations in time of uncertainties; the lessons that made me grow; and the reminder of whose child I am. Therefore, I want to share this work to remind you as well as we never know who might need a word to keep dealing in this world. We may be different- unique in our own ways But we are one, to the ONE, at the end of these days.

"What's wrong with you? You seem like you just got your heart broken by your girlfriend who is running away with a fifty-year-old man." If it is in any other situation, Cameron would have laugh but now he is in too much pain that he ignores her sarcasm. "I need your help," is all that he could muster. ••• Hazel Ryder used to be a person that was always for everyone when they need a listener, given that she is gifted with the ability to read people and is an empath. She could read people by staring into their eyes and even sometimes, by a touch while at the same time transfer emotions into them. But that was two years ago. Now she is this cold girl that everyone knows about but is afraid of, resulting in her being called 'witch', 'freak', 'weirdo' and all the names that goes along with it... But to Cameron's eyes, the new guy who had just moved there to finish his last year in Hillary High, he sees Hazel as a mystery. He is intrigued by her ability but scared at the same time. Cameron, with his charming smile and cheerful personality, hides some dark misery from his past and he is not about to let some mysterious so-called witch and her so-called ability to read people know about it. Until he accidentally grabbed her one day when she dropped something and she saw a vision. She ran away, of course, horrified by what she had just saw. He wants to know why, at the same time he wants to forget everything and just lives his life normally. Then one day his past comes haunting back at him and he could only think about one person in his mind to ask for help. So let's just say it is a surprise for Hazel when she finds Cameron at her doorstep, practically begging her to read him. This story tells about friendship, family, society, empathy and love... so hop right in.

She was never the loud one. Never the favorite friend. Never someone's first choice. Hiba was the girl who did well in studies, obeyed her parents, and kept her feelings to herself. Every year, she had one close friend. And every year, that friend slowly became a stranger. No fights. No explanations. Just distance. In a room full of people, she felt alone. At home, she felt unseen. In friendships, she felt replaceable. "They think I'm angry," she once whispered. But the truth was - she was just tired of being left. As her loneliness grew, her prayers slowly faded too. Not completely. Just quietly. She believed in Allah - but she didn't feel close anymore. Until one night, when the weight in her chest became too heavy to carry alone. This is not a story about a perfect believer. It is a story about drifting... about returning... about feeling forsaken - and discovering that you were never abandoned. 📖 *"Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased."* - Surah Ad-Duha (93:3) 📖 *"And when My servants ask you about Me - indeed I am near."* - Surah Al-Baqarah (2:186) Sometimes people leave. But Al-Qareeb never does.
