I have been thinking about this for a very long time, and after a lot of thought, I have finally made one of the biggest decisions regarding my writing.

I am going to delete 𝐅𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐚-𝐞-𝐈𝐬𝐡𝐪.

I know many of you love Zayran and hoorain, and I know this decision may disappoint or confuse you. So, I want to explain it clearly.

The truth is that I am no longer able to connect with this story or with the characters the way I need to as a writer. I have written many characters before, and I have always been able to understand their emotions and write their stories with clarity and peace.

But with this story, I have been struggling for a long time.

Writing a single chapter has started taking me days, sometimes even weeks. I sit down to write, but I am unable to feel the story the way I should. And I don't want to continue writing just because I have started it or because it is part of a series.

I don't want to force a story that I cannot currently connect with.

This decision is not because I don't love Zayran and Hoorain. It is not because their story doesn't matter to me. I simply know that, right now, I am not in the right place to write their story the way it deserves to be written.

So, for now, I am letting their book go.

I am not saying that I will never write Zayran and Hoorain again. Maybe someday, when I have the clarity and peace I need, I may return to their story. But I don't want to promise that or give anyone false hope. Right now, I need to be honest with myself and with all of you.

I know this is a series, and many of you were waiting for the second book to be Zayran and Hoorain's story. I'm truly sorry if this decision disappoints you.

But the Ishq Series will continue.

The second book may be about Faris and Maliha instead.

And no, I am not giving a publication date right now. There are many things happening in my life, and I don't want to make promises about a date when I don't know what the future holds.

This is a very difficult decision for me, but I believe it is the right one for both me and the story.

Thank you for loving Zayran and Hoorain so much. 🤍
