Despite our differences!

by Nabeela Ahmed

Two love stories, one journey.Riya's granddad, Usmaan, is firmly invested in her happily ever after, little does he know, her happily ever after is thoroughly tied to his!Riya's first love Hassan is from an upper class family in Pakistan where everything modern and western is the norm and religion is something you choose to follow when you are old enough to understand. Riya belongs to generations of Muslim clerics who have been the key holders to their local masjid. She has never left the house without a niqab and studied in a single-sex Maddarsa until college. Fate has brought them together and within the safety of their college walls their love deepens and flourishes for years without their families knowing. Now that college is over, Hassan's parents think he is too young to marry and must study further and Riya's parents are searching for appropriate proposals to secure her future. With their first love under threat, Riya's granddad attempts a desperate intervention to save his granddaughter's heart from being broken. But how can he succeed, when he lost his first love many years before? In her youth, Elaina was a German medical student who fell madly in love with her Pakistani colleague, Usmaan. Their differences meant they could never be. Now, in their old age, with Usmaan determined to complete his granddaughter's happily ever after, can he be reunited with his lost love?With meddling sons, a disapproving daughter-in-law and a firm faith in the purity of their connection, maybe this time they can be together- despite their differences.
