AOTH Sagir Bawa was once a man overflowing with love and tenderness until his first heartbreak shattered his soul in the cruellest way imaginable. That single event transformed him, filling his heart with bitterness and leaving him vowing never to love again. Relationships, marriage, and the thought of being with another woman became a distant, scorned memory. But fate rarely follows the plans we make. When his parents decide to force him into an arranged marriage, despite his vehement protests, Sagir finds himself standing on the precipice of a promise he made long ago. Will he bend to their will, or stay true to his vow to never love again? Then came her........ Hairana Sultan, whose stubbornness and fiery personality masked a life overshadowed by aching sorrow. She believed love was nothing but an illusion-a word spoken but never truly felt. And like Sagir, marriage had been forced upon her, though to Hairana, it seemed like the only way to grasp her freedom. But secrets have their own gravity, and Hairana's mother holds the weightiest one of all-one that could shake Hairana's world to its core. When Sagir and Hairana's paths collide, both tethered by destiny, their unyielding stubbornness threatens to combust. Neither believes in love; neither trusts the idea of happiness shared with another. Yet, can the heart remain untouched when fate is determined to intervene? As challenges arise, and life's trials test the strength of their resolve, will their hearts soften toward each other-or will their aching hearts remain impenetrable, refusing to bow to the whispers of love? ......... ☺️☺️☺️

... JAWAAD HISHAM AHMAD BUKAR Some say he's ruthless, cold, distant. Some say he's rude, emotionally guarded. Others say there's something about him that makes people think twice before getting close. Perhaps they were right. Perhaps they had simply never stayed long enough to discover what he kept buried beneath the impenetrable exterior, the wounded pride and the carefully controlled demeanor. JUNAYNAH IMRAN MAHAMAT To some, she's way too loud. Too stubborn. Too reckless. Too dramatic. To others, she laughed freely, spoke boldly, and carried herself with a confidence that's often mistaken for arrogance. She has a way of saying exactly what she thinks, regardless of who stands before her. Beneath the laughter, the mischief, and the unwavering confidence is a heart far softer than she would ever admit. --- **What happens when two people who were never meant to understand each other are forced into each other's world? ** **Junaynah Imran Mahamat and Jawaad Hisham Ahmad Bukar could not be more different. She is everything he finds exasperating. He is everything she refuses to tolerate. Yet, somehow, their paths keep colliding. ** What begins with resentment soon becomes something neither of them knows how to name. But between secrets, misunderstandings, buried truths, and wounds either is willing to reveal, getting close may prove far more dangerous than staying apart. **Because sometimes, the person you judge the quickest is the one you were never meant to misunderstand. **

Some names were never meant to meet. Raufaa Ameen Dabo ~ the daughter of a former vice president, raised in a world where silence hides more secrets than words. Haidar Lawal Kangiwa ~ the son of an executive minister, carrying a surname heavy enough to shake doors before he even walks through them. Two families. Two histories. One unexpected collision. But some encounters are dangerous. Not because of who they are... but because of what the past remembers. When old wounds begin to echo louder than the present, hearts are forced to choose between walking away... or staying despite everything. Will they survive what came before them? Or will yesterday finally destroy what today is trying to build? #LoveAgainstYesterday by umhiteer writes

Ameerah never planned on getting married at least, not to a man she'd only ever heard about as stoic, awe-struck whispers from her mother's friends. Her plan for the weekend was simple: eat small chops, dodge aggressive aunties, and escape before the wedding reception chaos even started. Instead, she's sitting as the bride in her sister's place because the actual bride bolted twenty-four hours before "I do." Her new husband? Muhammad Ayzan Kumo. Rich, annoyingly composed, and the human equivalent of a frozen stare. He didn't want a replacement bride. He has zero feelings for either Ameerah or her runaway sister, Aisha. And he definitely didn't sign up for Ameerah's nonstop sarcasm and chaotic energy. Ameerah Kabir? She's not stressing. She's nonchalant, sharp-tongued, and way too playful for a man who treats life like a corporate board meeting. If he wants to act like their unexpected marriage is a business contract, she's more than happy to make it the most entertaining contract he's ever signed. Too bad neither of them counted on the slow burn, the midnight banters, or the fact that "I don't care" turns into a lie real fast when you're tied to the one person who actually sees right through your armor. It was supposed to be a temporary fix. So why does it feel so permanent?
