"Confusion.

It was the only emotion I felt. What else was I supposed to feel when my parents told me that I was already married?"

***

In a world where people take pride in their dishonesty and joy in corruption in the name of "Modernisation", the Ummah has been divided into "Halal" and "Haram" Muslims.

Abeerah Mahmoud had, despite a fair amount of temptations surrounding her and distractions teasing her, just happened to have fallen into the "Halal" category.

Now all she has to do is keep it up.

Never having a reason to doubt her faith before, Abeerah lived a perfect life up until she realised that her whole life was a lie, not to mention that she finds herself locking eyes with a pair of beautiful honey-brown ones. Her whole world begans to tear apart when she starts falling for those eyes who only look upon her with hatred and disgust, but things rarely appear as they seem-

-for the owner of those eyes had for a long time been haunted by the demons from his past.

An accident puts their marriage to the test.

Will they be able to battle their inner demons toghether or drown in them forever?

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the heart that was broken
The crownless again shall be king. "

~J.R.R Tolkein, The Fellowship Of The Ring.
