"Allah guides whom He wills to the straight path." 
(Al Baqarah | 213)

Aasiya is the girl who has it all. At least that's what everyone tells her. So, why can't she escape this emptiness inside her; that's slowly eating her away?

Moving back to Pakistan for her medical degree was the answer she sought, but her life turns upside down, when she is forced into an unwanted alliance.

Can Aasiya untangle the knots of her heart, as she journeys through life, whilst battling with herself?

Will a happy ending await her, with the one she desires? Or truth will break her and cause her to fall apart?

Her Vocation

“And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others-Will you have patience?” (QURAN 25:20) 


I walked down the stairs to find Amo stirring a pot on the stove. Quietly, I walked up to her and clutched her waist, placing my head on her back. 


''Good morning, Amo.'' I mumbled against her warm back. 


''Oh! Good morning love. I didn't hear you come in. But you should say Assalamualaikum dear. It is more blessed.'' Amo returned sweetly, reaching behind her to pat my cheek. 


''Mmm....Assalamu alaikum wa rehmatullahi wa barakatuhu!'' I replied in a sleepy tone and stayed like that for another moment, basking in her motherly scent. Lifting my head, I went around to kiss Amo's hand. It was a custom here to kiss an elder's hand as a mark of respect. 


''Walaikumusalam wa rehmatullahi wa barakatuhu, my child.'' Amo answered with a small smile and gave me a peck on cheek. I accepted it with a smile and filled the kettle to brew some chai.
