This time it won’t be slow because exams got postponed

I love how on the dramatis persona labels [redacted] as [redacted] 


Somaiya has some of the best opening paragraphs that just grip you and let you into the story immediately 


Oh god oh god oh god YAAAASSSSS
I have so many theories about the prologue 




Tala is wonderful 






Scenes between Maram and Amani make my heart lodge in my throat through pain

This is extremely heartbreaking

Fuck Mathis


MARAM POV YAAAASSSSS
She’s rebuilding. My H E A R T 






Butterflies are just restless inside me reading this scene, My heart is swollen with joy 






“but she’d explicitly asked the artist to have her turn away so that the absence of daan on her face would not be so clear to the viewer.”
GIVE HER HER DAAN PLEASE

Maram misses Amani 




I’VE JUST MET AGHRAAS! FINALLY 

and it’s safe to say I’m falling head over heels for her



Omg she just said “you must not” to Maram, without being close with her or knowing her. I LOVE HER
Eye- of all the things I expected Maram to say, ordering Amani to [redacted] was not it 


Curse this heart, I’m crying again
I’m STILL convinced [redacted] MUST be related one way or another. Maybe cousins.
Listening to Ma3shar l3ushaq by Carmen Tockmaji during this scene did me in
I WAS STABBED DIRECTLY IN THE FEELS

I’timad breaking all boundaries >>>>>>>>>>>>
I just wanted to say your name 




AGHRAAS OMG 






This fight is stressing me out

Maram being concerned about Aghraas and her accommodations is TRUE LOVE 










SHE TRIED APPLYING HENNA 


MY HEART CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE 








I love I’timad 




Fuck yhe Garda, fuck the Vath, fuck Mathis, fuck it, I’m crying
THE LAST THING I EXPECTED IS FOR BAKHOOR TO MAKE ME TEAR UP, WHAT IS THIS, SOMAIYA? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

Maram and Aghraas 




The moonlight scene left my breath short 




*lump forming in my throat* DAmMiT 


Maram is ripping through Nadine and this is my favorite funny part of this book 




MARAM AND HER GRANDMOTHER ARE GIVING ME ALL THE FEELS 


HERE IT IS!!
ARINAAS AND AGHRAAS FINALLY MET! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER 




Furat and Maram coming together just made my day 




Amani promised herself to get her Daan back once this is over and you can’t imagine how much I’ve wondered about this and I FINALLY HAVE MY ANSWER 


My nerves are on edge 
PLEASE BE SAFE


The Tazalghit women deserve a spin off 












AGHRAAS 

Mice and foul for real



Mice and foul for real
MARAM AND AGHRAAS ARE MY Q U E E N S 






No 


MY HEART IS SWOLLEN WITH PRIDE OH GOD 


I’m so close to crying I’m trying so hard to look up and blink so tears don’t fall but IT’S TOO EMOTIONAL I CAN’T STAND THIS

Omg I forgot this bitch existed. AT LEAST MARAM IS KEEPING AN EYE OUT
I declare from this platform, that I would willingly die for Maram and Aghraas 


M A R A M
