" You know why I married you, don't you ?...." His words echoed in my ears again and again as I clenched my hands in my lap. This isn't what I had expected, what I had imagined. Of course it is because of the stain I got on my character without even doing anything wrong. " Yes I know, Malik Sahab...." That was all I could mutter infront of him with all the courage I have. I couldn't even meet his gaze even though I know he was looking at me, I felt too scared to do so. I am even feeling my body go numb with each second I am sitting here. I want to run away but I feel like I am chained to this bed and can't even move a single bit. " Then you should also know what it's like to be the eldest daughter in law of the Malik family, what it's like to be the wife of Ibrahim Malik...." My breath got caught in my throat as I heard him say that word. Why does he always reminds me of it ? I need to move, I need to run downstairs. I couldn't sit here any longer. Just as I gathered all the courage to stand up, I saw him standing right in front of me and my heart skipped a beat. He suddenly leaned towards me which made me stop my breath and I felt like suffocating myself from not breathing but I still couldn't dare to breath. " Breath. I don't want you to die so early.

"Some pass by - she pauses my entire world." _______________________________ She was the one who named him Musa, but Allah was the One guiding that choice. I wasn't meant to find him. And he... wasn't searching for faith. But somewhere between silence and stolen glances, we met - where love wasn't allowed. He didn't belong to my world. And I didn't fit in his. They called him forbidden. I was punished for feeling. In a world where love and destiny collide, her quiet prayers become the heartbeat of his world-two souls bound by faith, tested by trials, and forever changed by the moments they never saw coming. This is not just a love story. It is a story of boundaries, faith, resistance... and a heart that bled quietly in both distance and devotion. It is about a girl who held her prayer beads tighter when the world fell apart. And a boy who found Allah in the reflection of her pain. To the reader: May you feel seen, healed, and protected by His light.

A believer of slow love, silent care, and emotions that don't need loud words. Writing what the heart feels.

She dared to be honest. He chose to mock. She was impulsive, bold, and unafraid to speak her mind; he was bratty, ego-driven, and playful. Bold words. Brutal denial. Mocked honesty. Years later, she's successful, independent, desirable, and untouchable-the talk of the town-while he's left staring at what could have been, realizing too late that he missed out. A confession meant to be harmless became a lesson in ego and immaturity. She moved on. She grew. And he's left wondering why she's unforgettable. She was everything he had ever desired in a girl, but now she is inapproachable. As he decides to find her and apologize for his past mistakes, he hesitates, wondering if he can face her after what he did-and these thoughts make him step back. Now, fate is about to bring them face to face-for the first time. Will she forgive him? Has he truly changed? Or will their past ignite the same tension that once tore them apart?

Sharp mind, steady pulse, and eyes that see through people faster than they can hide. She doesn't chase trouble... but it never seems to stop finding her. What no one knows is how much she's already lost, and how far she'll go to never feel powerless again. 𝐑𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐈 𝐊𝐇𝐀𝐍- Powerful name, dangerous temper, disciplined to the bone. To the world, he's the man who never falters, a leader carved from anger and silence. Feared enough that people watch their tone, their distance, even their breath around him. But when the noise fades, he's a man chained to his past, haunted by what he lost and what he became to survive it. His control isn't strength; it's punishment. They carry the weight of different wars, both too proud to admit how alike they are. Bound by a marriage neither asked for, they find themselves drawn to the one person capable of breaking their guard. Will they keep pretending it's just survival, or let the chaos between them turn into something dangerously close to love?
