Threads of Sanctuary

I have been writing this story for a very long time. I saved up words, patiently gathering them to weave into a tale. Only a few weeks ago did I muster the courage to share it on Wattpad—not for anything grand, merely to console myself. After finishing A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, I was embraced by an unbearable sorrow and disappointment. I had thought of writing a fanfiction for it, but I decided against it. Let Jude and Willem rest in peace. But Arash and Hakimi—they must find happiness. It is not easy, I must admit.

Threads of Sanctuary

Summary:
Arashi, a man haunted by a traumatic past, has spent his life trapped in the shadow of abuse and isolation. His childhood home, once filled with the warmth of his mother’s love, became a prison under the cruel dominion of his uncle, Nizameh. The scars of Arashi’s trauma run deep, both physical and emotional, leaving him fractured and searching for solace.

Hakimi, a figure from Arashi’s past, returns unexpectedly, bringing light and hope to his darkened world. As their bond rekindles, Hakimi’s unwavering love and protection offer Arashi a sense of home he’s never known. Together, they face the lingering ghosts of Arashi’s past, including the haunting presence of Nizameh, whose cruelty threatens to destroy the fragile sanctuary they’ve built.

Through moments of intense conflict and tender intimacy, Arashi and Hakimi navigate the complexities of their love, the weight of their shared pain, and the resilience needed to overcome it. Along the way, they unearth secrets that test their trust and force them to confront their deepest fears. Letters and postcards, once discarded and forgotten, resurface as symbols of missed connections and the enduring power of love.

Their journey culminates in a shared home, a modest yet meaningful space that represents not just survival, but the possibility of healing and rebuilding. Together, they turn their dreams into reality, creating a book café—a sanctuary where others can find solace, just as they have found in each other.
