My Other Half

Episode 1

*Chapter 1: Yasin's Lonely Heart*

Yasin Hizru stared blankly at his phone screen, scrolling through social media feeds filled with friends' wedding photos and newborn announcements. His 25th birthday had passed, and the pressure to settle down mounted. His parents' constant reminders didn't help.

"Why haven't you found someone yet, beta?" his mother asked during their weekly calls.

Yasin sighed, feeling suffocated. He longed for connection, but his busy career as a software engineer left little time for socializing.

*Chapter 2: Laiba's Virtual World*

Laiba Yesri, 22, sat in her cozy bedroom, laptop open to her favorite Muslim dating website. She had tried several platforms, but this one felt different. Profiles highlighted values, faith, and personality alongside photos.

Laiba's fingers danced across the keyboard as she crafted her profile. She sought someone genuine, kind, and funny – someone who shared her love for Allah and good humor.

*Chapter 3: A Chance Swipe*

Yasin downloaded the same dating app, intrigued by its focus on Muslim matches. He created a profile, carefully selecting photos and writing a brief bio.

As he swiped through profiles, one caught his eye: Laiba's bright smile and sparkling eyes shone through the screen. Her bio mentioned a love for hiking and Quranic recitation. Yasin's heart skipped a beat.

*Chapter 4: First Message*

Yasin hesitated, then typed a message:

"Assalamu alaikum, Laiba. Your profile stood out. Would love to get to know you better. What's your favorite surah?"

Laiba's notification beeped. She smiled at the simple yet thoughtful message.

*Chapter 5: Virtual Connection*

Laiba responded, and their conversation flowed effortlessly. They discussed faith, family, and interests. Yasin shared his passion for coding; Laiba shared her love for writing.

Hours passed, and the sun dipped below the horizon. Yasin realized he'd never felt such a strong connection.

"Can we move to video calls?" Yasin asked, eager to see Laiba's smile.

Laiba agreed, and they exchanged numbers.

*Chapter 6: Face-to-Face*

Their first video call began with nervous laughter. Yasin's eyes locked onto Laiba's bright smile; her eyes sparkled as she talked.

Conversation flowed easily, covering everything from favorite foods to childhood memories.

As the call ended, Yasin felt an unshakeable sense of connection.

"Subhanallah," he whispered, grateful for this chance encounter.

_Chapter 7: Heart-to-Heart_

Yasin and Laiba's video calls became a daily ritual. They explored each other's worlds, sharing laughter and stories.

One evening, Laiba opened up about her struggles with anxiety. Yasin listened attentively, offering words of comfort.

"I feel like I can be myself around you," Laiba said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Yasin's heart swelled. "You can always be yourself with me, Laiba."

_Chapter 8: Shared Values_

Their conversations delved deeper into faith, values, and aspirations. Yasin admired Laiba's dedication to her deen and her passion for writing.

Laiba, in turn, respected Yasin's kindness and work ethic.

"I want to find someone who'll support me in my spiritual journey," Laiba said.

Yasin smiled. "I want that too. Together, we can grow closer to Allah."

_Chapter 9: Virtual Dates_

Yasin planned virtual dates: cooking sessions, Quran recitation, and stargazing. Laiba loved how he made her feel seen.

During a virtual walk, Yasin pointed out constellations, explaining Islamic stories behind them. Laiba listened, entranced.

"I feel like I'm right there with you," she said.

_Chapter 10: Family Matters_

Yasin's parents grew curious about his online connection. They asked to meet Laiba's family.

Yasin hesitated, unsure if Laiba was ready. But Laiba agreed, knowing her family would love Yasin.

Laiba's mother, Amira, welcomed Yasin's parents warmly. The families bonded over shared values.

"Yasin seems like a good match for our Laiba," Amira said to her husband.

_Chapter 11: Friends' Approval_

Laiba's best friend, Sofia, grilled her about Yasin.

"Is he serious about marriage?" Sofia asked.

Laiba nodded. "He's genuine, Sofia. And kind."

Sofia smiled. "I approve. You deserve happiness."

Yasin's friends, too, noticed the change in him.

"Yasin's smitten," his friend, Ali, teased.

Yasin blushed. "Can't help it. Laiba's amazing."

_Chapter 12: Heartfelt Letters_

Yasin began writing Laiba heartfelt letters, expressing his feelings.

"My dearest Laiba,

Every moment with you strengthens my iman. You're my rock, my partner.

Yours always,

Yasin"

Laiba's eyes welled up as she read. She wrote back.

"My beloved Yasin,

Your words touch my soul. I feel Allah brought us together.

Forever yours,

Laiba"
