Okay, everyone listen up! This message is for those who’ve actually read my book — the previous chapters. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about Asad being too nonchalant, not expressive enough, and all that bullsweet. Let me make this clear: I’m not entertaining any of it. He is the way he is because I MADE him that way. His life and circumstances have shaped him into the person you see now. There’s a backstory you don’t know yet.
And Asad isn’t perfect — he’s not supposed to be. He’s not some magical genie who can read Emaan's mind or communicate flawlessly. He has flaws, and that’s exactly what makes him human. He never was and never will be perfect.
I’m the one writing this book — not you. I know his story, his past, his reasons — you don’t. Maybe I sound rude, but I’m tired of sitting quietly while people hate on a character I created with intent and depth. And just to clear things up once again — **Emaan is seventeen.** If you want a seventeen-year-old to have a romantic angle with a twenty-two-year-old man, you need therapy.
Yes, the age gap itself isn’t the issue — the *age she’s at right now* is. It’s not fine, and it never will be. So please get that straight and stop — respectfully. Even if I *did* change the story just to please you, would you take responsibility for the backlash I’d get for writing a romance between a minor and an adult? No, you wouldn’t. So, no — I’m not changing Asad. I unpublished the chapters because I found some of the earlier writing and dialogues childish, not because of your complaints.
I’m doing my best to portray every emotion I’ve felt and seen growing up. I research deeply before writing every scene. Real people carry their pain in ways that show — in actions, behaviour, or silence. That’s what’s happening with him.
So, I hope you understand the message I’m trying to give here. No more complaints about Asad on this topic. Have a good day <3
