The Perfect Bride – Tears Behind the Moonlight “Tonight’s party… if you don’t want to come with me, that’s fine,” Date said calmly. “And about the dress—if you don’t like it, you don’t have to wear it. I’ll be waiting downstairs until half past six. If you don’t come by then, I’ll understand that you’ve chosen not to.” He buried himself in some paperwork, but when he looked up, it was as though the moon itself had descended from the sky. She stood there—Daw—in the dress he had chosen, its beauty amplified by her presence. Without a word, he took her hand and led her out, silently declaring his affection in front of the flashing cameras. The press had long been hungry for news about him, as he had never before been linked to any woman. At the ceremony, Date received an honor and an award. His gaze never left her, and when it came time to hold the prize, he gave it to Daw, not to his sister, nor to his childhood friend who had long harbored feelings for him and was determined to win ...

O pure-hearten one, who shares with me the sweetness and sanctity of love—my one and only love—was it not our choice to belong to each other? They fell in love at first sight. Their hearts pledged themselves, their lips promised marriage. But destiny had other plans—harsh, cruel, and unrelenting.

The Successful Husband — 7 Principles of Love, Wisdom, and Partnership   A man is not just someone who signs a marriage contract; he is the guardian of a woman’s life, dignity, emotions, and dreams.

Here are 7 psychological principles that truly make a man a successful husband: 1️⃣ Emotional Maturity A successful husband takes his wife’s feelings seriously, not just hearing her words but sensing the pain behind them.

Yasmeen — A Journey of Friendship, Language, and Laughter It’s been almost eight to ten years since my friendship with Yasmeen began. It started on social media with a few simple exchanges. I am Saraiki, she is Pathan—our languages worlds apart. But thanks to Urdu, which bridged the gap between us. From exchanging gifts to sharing joys and sorrows, time passed, and our bond only grew stronger. In the early days, in the excitement of friendship, I made a mistake—I asked Yasmeen to teach me Pashto. It didn’t take long to realize that this language could only truly be mastered by Pathans themselves. When she spoke to me, her voice was soft and gentle, but the moment she addressed someone in her family, her tone would suddenly turn deep and commanding—throwing in words like zaagṛe, baagṛe, dum pukht, waṛa muṛa that transformed the atmosphere instantly. I would wonder—should I really be learning Pashto? One day she said, “We made khosa . Do you eat them?” I was puzzled—“I’ve only heard...

A Love Written by Fate Life holds nothing more beautiful than love—especially when it blossoms between the children of neighbors. Such love is always pure, innocent, and full of playful quarrels, hiding within them the most genuine emotions. Three years ago, my niece—the daughter of my late brother—was in her third year of middle school when our neighbor’s son asked for her hand in marriage. I strongly opposed the idea at that time, wanting her to complete her education first. She was intelligent and promising, and it was my brother’s dying wish that she succeed in life. Her mother had passed away before she turned three. She had only one sibling, an older brother three years her senior. I still remember the day they learned of their father’s death. My brother worked as a night guard. One night, he was accompanied by the wrong people. They knocked him unconscious, robbed the entire premises, and placed the blame on him. False witnesses and corrupt officials sentenced him to fifteen...
