The Call of Destiny

by AashiIrf

Rehan Ahmed is one of those guys who come with a warning. He is not your next door Prince Charming. Men like him do nothing proper or pristine. He is more of a local goon, wrapped in a leather jacket and sporting pierced earlobes. He is rough, he is bold.
He is your exquisite nightmare.

Mahira Ali is soon to be a doctor. A girl who follows strict rules, she is painstakingly punctual and programmed to perfection. Her alluring beauty strikes like a hailstorm. A raw mountainous goddess. She is an ethereal dream.

They are a pair of opposites who don't cross each other's paths. They have ignored each other's existence up till now, only to be thrown into a matrimonial upheaval. Will they survive the storm? Will the opposites attract?

NEVER GONNA READ THIS AUTHOR'S BOOK ✨

5 star rating from me. First novel that I have read from the author. Loved the main character, who doesn't love a bad boy 😝

[Laiba Malik · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sweet, emotional and heartwarming second chance romance. Mahira who is in love with Zimaan is arranged to marry Rehan, Zimaan's elder brother and her cousin as her mother is on her death bed and Zimaan refuses to return from abroad. I love how despite all their differences, both Rehan and Mahira start to get along with their silent love. I throughly enjoyed reading the book and how the story unfolds.

[Sharpee Tekriwal · Rating 5 out of 5]

"The Call Of Destiny" is an enchanting story of love, with engaging characters, and a gripping plot. Set in picturesque Mussoorie, this book will take you through a pleasurable journey of heart melting emotions 🥰

Mahira (Mahi) has always been attracted to her cousin Zimaan, but due to twisted turn of events, she has to get married to his elder brother Rehaan, whom she has always disliked. Zimaan wants his brother to do him a favour, by marrying his childhood sweetheart Mahi, in a 'marriage of convenience', and keep her safe for him, so that when he gets back after a couple of months, Rehaan and Mahi can divorce, and then Zimaan can get married to Mahi.

What happens next in their lives? Does Rehaan have some hidden feelings for Mahi? Is he really the ill mannered, careless, good for nothing guy, as he portrays himself to be? Or does he care so much, that he can think of nothing beyond her happiness? Do Mahi and Rehaan live together for a few months, and then get divorced when Zimaan returns? Or do they listen to the call of destiny, and unite forever in love? Read this amazing story to find out 😍

The USP of this book, is the rowdy character of Rehaan. I adored this uncultured, stubborn, wild and crazy bad boy. His carefree attitude, his filthy mouth, his brutal honesty, his uncontrollable arrogance, keep you hooked to the story.

He describes Mahi perfectly, when he calls her as 'Mrs. Mixed Feelings' in the book. Mahi is an extremely beautiful, cultured, GOOD girl, who lives her life as per her well laid plans. She has a reserved nature, and does not stand up for herself. But all that changes, when he comes into her boring life, like a thunderstorm. She becomes a more brave, bold, confident, courageous and free person in Rehan's company.

I loved all the supporting characters, especially Abbas Mamu, Akash, Ruhina, and Aliyah. Shehnaaz (Rehaan's mother) is the most conflicting character in the story, and has quite a massive and surprising turn around !!

I really liked the writing style of the author. She knows how to keep it interesting for her readers. It's her debut novel, and kudos to her for doing such a tremendous job. I highly recommend this beautiful love story to all romance readers ❤️

If two people are meant to be together, Life will find a way to make it happen. This story iterates this fact.

Mahira is a beautiful girl who is forced to marry her cousin Rehan, even though she likes his younger brother Zimaan. Rehan, brash and the black sheep of the family agrees to this alliance to honour his aunt's last wish and to keep Mahi safe for his brother when he comes back to claim her. Never seeing an eye to eye on anything, they both are highly combustible in each other's presence. Forced to live in close proximity after marriage, unseen barriers get broken between them and they forge a newfound friendship, which in turn ignites into a simmering attraction between them. She now compares the two brothers and finds Zimaan lacking. But true to his word, Rehan maintains a distance from Mahi, and instead supports and empowers her to come out of her shell. Mahi, in her emboldened avatar, can't seem to stay away from him. Losing his control, Rehan is finally about to give in to her, when Zimaan re-enters their house surprising everyone. What will happen to Rehan? Whom does Mahi finally choose? What does Destiny have in store for them all?

The transformation of Mahi from a soft-spoken timid girl to a confident, bold woman falling in love with her husband and not afraid to show it, is superbly narrated. And Rehan, I want him as my book boyfriend. He is a misjudged bad boy with a heart of gold. Successful on his own, yet insecure and vulnerable of being in his brother's shadow makes him so real and endearing. He's a sweetheart, a romantic, the way he cares for Mahi, teases her and defends her in front of his mom and always craves for her company. The Epilogue is the sweetest and I want Zim and Ruhi to have their own story. This is my debut read of Aashiirf and I loved her simple, engaging and emotional writing. Highly recommended.

" Their journey may seem taugh but together they will enjoy each and every moment of it".
.
"The Call Of Destiny" is an amazing love story of two different personalities Rehan & Mahira who came together in a marriage knot by the fate. Rehan is a bold, Hot guy who do whatever he likes & on the other hand Mahira is a most beautiful sweet girl who has an ambitious mind with a soft heart. She wanted to became a Doctor. But soon the storm of unfortunate events hit Mahira's life & she stuck in a marriage with Rehan Ahmed. But She wanted to marry Zimaan the Rehan's Brother. She loved Zimaan soo much & dreamed about the future with him. Plot gets twisted when three of them faced each other. Mahira got confused in a love trangle. And wanted to slove the puzzle of her life. She was unable to decide what she wanted in her life. But later on we see that all the dots connected at the end with the peacefull end.
But the questions are...

• Why Mahirah & Rehan said yes to marriage?
• Why Zimaan wasn't married to Mahirah?
• What was Mahira's decision at the end?
• Will Rehan Ahmed & Mahira Ali get united at the end ?
To know about how destiny will turn their fate read the book.
.
I've became a fan of Author's writing style.
She with the simple touch made the storyline more engaging. I liked how Author kept all the things secret & in later part things started unfolding all the truths was my favrt part of the book. If you asked me about the favourite character from the novel, Then ofc my answer would be "Rehan Ahmed"🔥❤.
He has the most charming look & personality with few flaws. But the detail of his character I came to knw about in the later parts, Rehan became my favourite fictional Man. Narration & storyline both are excellent. Epilogue is sweet & give the satisfying ending to the novel.

Thank you sooo muchh for the review opportunity.

I absolutely loved this book❤️ This book felt like nostalgia to me,as this book was like those shows which I used to watch with my grandma when I was a teenager and I was obsessed with them😍😍 To be honest I didn't like Mahira from the beginning but Rehan my boy I absolutely loved him from the beginning of the book ❤️❤️He was so vulnerable inside and yet people often misunderstood him and he only opened about his feelings and true self to Mahira. He was soo in love with her yet when got the chance to marry her he didn't want to do that because he thought it will make Mahira unhappy. Also the way he encouraged her and supported her in every step and transformed her into a strong woman who would take a stand for herself was amazing. I really need a man like Rehan in my life. I started liking Mahira later on when she realized that she needs to be strong and finally transformed into a strong woman and also when she finally took a stand for Rehan was so satisfying. I adored the chemistry between the couple, the heated glances the yearning between them and also the banter between them , Ahhhh!!❤️❤️❤️it was everything😍 Another thing which I liked about this book was how at the end it was shown that nobody was a villain and that they were just victim of circumstances. Overall I loved this book and would totally recommended it to someone who loves reading enemies to lovers romance and also who wants a short romance book to get out of their reading slump❤️❤️

The Call Of Destiny @Aashiirf

"Then stop making dinners. I don't like women cutting themselves rather than cutting vegetables".

"It's ours". A small statment but with a meaning of confession to you that the person is in love with you deeply.

A very raw, from heart, true, pure innocent love story of Rehan and Mahira.

Getting married to your cousin is quite a disaster isn't it. You never get along, always fight, quarrel, knows all the flaws of each other and most annoying to each other. But this is the most romantic equation ever where there is a pinch of hate, a pinch of anger, a pinch of attitude, a pinch of drama but lots of care and friendly love.

Rehan is a bad boy, shoulder length hair, a stud in the ear, rowdy, always aggressive, into all bad things but with a golden heart. Successful at a tender age with great friends.

Mahira a MBBS student, passionate, hardworking, in love with her cousin(Rehan's younger brother) and a future planned to full proof.

Destiny rotates the wheel and Rehan and Mahira is tied together. The most hated person to Mahi is now her everything.
But how can she accept him, what about his only love, how will she handle the situation. Will she ever be able to accept this forced marriage???
To many questions isn't it???
Wanna find answers??? Then start reading The Call Of Destiny ASAP.

A worth read and recommended 👍👍

Silence is what makes you feel every emotion a little deeper.
When we are sad, heartbroken we love to sit in silence, when we are extremely happy, we enjoy the silence even to plan our future and get a hold on our life we sit in silence and observe what we are doing. There are so many things that we are unable to express with our words, such things are only expressed by our silence and only our closed one are able to understand the language of silence. Sometimes when a person is silent that means there is a crashing thunder going on inside him.

This story is all about a silent love which has been weaved beautifully by the author with tickling banters, silent pleas, unspoken emotions & many more feelings which are difficult to put in words. Isn’t rightly said, “The Heart wants what it wants.”

In the story Rehaan & Mahi were tied in forced knot much against their desire. Little did they know it was destiny’s trick to unfold many truth & make them take a final decision for their future.

You must read to find out, what truth Rehaan was hiding from Mahi & why Mahi was struggling to choose between Rehaan & Zimaan?

I thoroughly enjoyed this story & looking fwd to read other stories from the author.

This is the first book of the destiny series by Aashi Irf. It starts grabbing at you from the very first and keeps you connected till the last page.

Mahira is a medical student, sweet, quiet, focused and living life according to a plan. Whereas Rehan is quite the opposite, unruly, misunderstood and seen as the disappointment of the family. But fate decides to make them play in an arena that none of them chose.

According to the last wish of Mahira's dying mother, she was compelled to marry Rehan, the arrogant bad boy business man whom she disliked to the core. But it got even more twisted when she realised that Rehan was the older brother of her childhood love.

Torn between the cat's cradle of her feelings, she decided to hold onto her husband and seemingly developed herself into a strong independent woman.

This book isn't only about romance. It's about finding lights in places where you least expected them. Here, destiny doesn't ask for permission but it changes lives anyway.

The author did an amazing job at framing such a healing process throughout this book. It's a must read.

This was a captivating and eloquently written story. Rehan and Mahi are cousins and to fulfil Mahi’s dying mother’s last wish to see her daughter married these two are forced to get married. I have read books which have similar plot but how the author has made this plot fresh and interesting and the story unputdownable with the emotional push and pull , witty banters and slow burn moments building the main characters. This is the story of opposite attracts and silent love. A story of never judge anyone by what you see there is a lot hidden which they are not showing to the outside world. Rehan and Mahi were opposite but perfect for each other . I loved how Rehan became Mahi’s strength . I felt a spark between Zim and Ruhi and am curious if we will be getting their story as well. This is the first time I’ve read this author and I really enjoyed this story, it was binge read story. Can’t wait to read more from this author. Definitely a must read!

Unputdownable. Fantastic read.

This book was an incredible reading experience. Every minute of it was fabulous. It was a remarkable exploration of sentiments, angst, desires, and understanding and love. In short, I adore Rehan and the kind of person he is. The transformation of Mahira from placid to fierce is depicted really well.
Rehan and Mahira are like explosive fireworks. It's a joy to watch their witty arguments, banter, and the development of their bond. Their chemistry is smoking and this book is at a 7 on my slow burn meter. It is a perfect depiction of how action speaks louder than words and how silent love is always the most powerful, like a force of nature that you cannot resist. This book's foundation is lucid narration, strong supporting characters, and a fluid storyline. This was my first read by this author, and I'm excited to read more from her.

Book Review: The Call of Destiny by Aashi Irf
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Aashi Irf's The Call of Destiny is a captivating and emotionally rich novel that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. The story beautifully weaves romance, destiny, and resilience, making it an unforgettable read.

The novel follows Rehan, a notorious bad boy, who unexpectedly falls for Mahira, an MBBS student living in his house. Following the tragic passing of Mahira's mother, Rehan fulfills her mother’s last wish by marrying Mahira, with both intending to part ways soon. However, fate has other plans, drawing them closer in ways they never anticipated.

One of the highlights of the book is the remarkable chemistry between the leads. Rehan’s unwavering support for Mahira, especially in front of his mother, adds depth to his character. His affectionate nature and protectiveness towards both Maheer and his younger sister make him a compelling and admirable protagonist. Their heartwarming moments of public display of affection (PDA) were particularly endearing.

With its emotionally charged storyline and well-developed characters, The Call of Destiny is a novel that stays with you long after you turn the last page. A must-read for romance enthusiasts!

Undeniable chemistry

Their story is a mixture of so many emotions put together beautifully by the author. Life doesn't always work the way we imagine and the same happened with Mahira. Her marriage with Rehan came as an unexpected start which led her to a heaven she never dared to dream of. To her Rehan. Their attraction, sweet moments and thrilling chemistry is worth the time spent. Tears and twists don't stop till the end but with them together it's a beautiful ride.

If Humsafar still lives rent-free in your heart, The Call of Destiny by Aashi Irf is the perfect read for you! It’s not just Humsafar , its much more layers and emotional pull..

It’s got that emotional slow-burn romance, complicated family dynamics, and moments that hit straight in the feels.

Mahira’s journey from loving Zimaan to slowly falling for Rehan—her husband and cousin—is written with so much care and depth.
The story blooms with family moments, heartbreak, healing, and quiet love.
I genuinely felt the bond between Mahira and Rehan grow—and yes, Rehan deserves all the love 🥹

[Abbas · Rating 5 out of 5]

First One for 2024 !!!
In the narrative, Mahira possesses an exceptional talent for peering beyond Rehan's guarded facade, captivating him with her innocence and purity. Rehan, in turn, exhibits an unwavering dedication to protecting and cherishing Mahira, ultimately liberating her from the confines of captivity. This selfless commitment on his part is truly praiseworthy.

Their union, which is initially brought about by Mahira's dying mother's wish, is marred by a deep-rooted mutual dislike. Mahira represents everything that is graceful and virtuous, while Rehan constantly rebels against societal norms, creating conflicts within their relationship. Furthermore, Mahira finds herself drawn to Rehan's brother, Zimaan, who prioritizes education over marriage and refuses to conform to societal expectations.

As time passes, Mahira gradually uncovers Rehan's valiant and protectiveness, as he consistently defends her when the need arises, his rebellious image notwithstanding. He is revealed to be a misunderstood individual who reveals a tender side exclusively to Mahira, and their undeniable chemistry intensifies their bond.

Despite the obstacles they face, Rehan respects Mahira's autonomy, allowing her to make her own choices. Their eventual union symbolizes a heartwarming culmination of intricate relationships, concealed truths, clashing personalities, and an inevitable love story.

Ultimately, this captivating narrative weaves together a beautiful tapestry of emotions and complexities. It explores the depths of human connection, the complexities of love, and the power of individual autonomy. Through the characters' interactions, the audience is taken on a tumultuous journey filled with profound emotions, dramatic tension, and palpable chemistry. This story serves as a reminder that love can transcend societal norms and expectations, and that the most unexpected connections can lead to the most beautiful outcomes.

OMG, this book??? Absolutely wrecked me—in the best way possible!!
It’s not just a romance—it’s an emotional rollercoaster that grabs your heart, squeezes it, and somehow puts it back together softer than before. The raw emotion, the magnetic chemistry, the soul-deep growth—I was HOOKED!!

So get this: Mahira ends up in an arranged marriage (gasp) with Rehan—who she absolutely does not like AND (wait for it)… he’s the older brother of her childhood love!! YES. You read that right. My jaw DROPPED. The tension??? The slow burn??? The way they go from enemies to something so deeply emotional I was literally clutching my chest!!!

Reading this felt like reliving every messy, magical, intense love I’ve ever felt. Rehan and Mahira’s story gave me teenage butterflies, adult tears, and the kind of longing that stays with you. Rehan’s quiet vulnerability??? His patience with Mahira??? I was a goner. He made me swoon like a lovesick teenager and cry like a grown woman.
Protect Rehan at all costs!!

What made this book extra special was how it showed the realness of people. No perfect heroes, no flawless heroines—just two beautifully flawed souls trying to navigate pain, love, and healing. It hit HARD.

If you’re into slow burn, family drama, emotional healing, and tension that could light a match—this book will RUIN YOU (in the best way).
10/10 recommend. Go cry over this masterpiece right now!!
I’m obsessed. OBSESSED.
Add to cart. Immediately.

This book definitely wasn't what your usual love story looks like.

Rehan Ahmed never thought he was capable of being a good husband ever but when Mahira came into his life he did nothing but pamper her in every way .

Mahira, a girl whose whole childhood went spending time with her mother until she had no one left to wipe her tears. Can her life get any worse than it already was? Or was it just going to be the God's play giving her what she actually deserves!

But what happens when Mahira and Rehan are tied into a one side love loop?

But what if your lover betrays you and you are forced to marry his brother instead? Did I forget to mention that said brother has shoulder length hair, an amazing physique and pierced ears? Screams Hot doesn't it?

I really loved the dynamics this book created for me making me think what's gonna happen next. Because from the start I couldn't predict if the love was about to bloom or not.


So dive into the married journey of Rehan and Mahira and unveil what happens in the next page?

While reading have you ever felt the need to protect your most favourite and cutest couple? This couple is that for me!!! The moment I started reading this book, I was purely and genuinely hooked from the very first chapter..

Many beautiful moments in the book blossomed their love life leading to HEA♥️

[Jàññàt Zèèñàt · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Call of Destiny by Aashi is a deeply emotional story centered around a young medical student, Mahira. She isn’t a doctor yet, but she’s studying to become one. Her life takes a dramatic turn when her terminally ill mother pressures her to marry Rehan her cousin and the elder brother of her boyfriend, Zimaan.

Rehan is not someone who easily agrees to what he's told. Initially, he resists the idea of the marriage, but eventually, he gives in to fate. Once married, Zimaan returns and demands that Rehan divorce Mahira so he can marry her himself. But Rehan, with his strong and defiant personality, refuses setting the stage for the story’s main conflict.

Rehan has a complex past that has made him a tough, blunt man, almost like a goon. With shoulder-length curly hair and a rugged demeanor, he comes across as the classic bad boy. Mahira is stunned to learn about his strained relationship with his mother, but as the truth about his past unravels, she begins to understand and go with the flow.

What truly touched me was Rehan’s love reserved only for Mahira. He fiercely protected her, especially from his own mother’s harsh behavior. He never allowed anyone to raise their voice at his wife, standing by her through every storm.

As the story progresses, Zimaan’s return causes further turmoil, making it difficult for Mahira to think clearly. But Rehan, being the man he is, refuses to let her go. His unwavering stand and the way he let go of his own deepest scars added a heartwarming layer to the narrative.

The story ends on a very happy note. It’s an emotional roller coaster full of unexpected twists, painful secrets, and heartfelt moments. The age gap of four years between Mahira and Rehan adds another interesting dynamic she’s a student doctor, and he’s a CEO working hard to expand his business when marriage changes everything.

I absolutely loved this story. It's a powerful tale of love, destiny, and emotional healing

✨ The Twist of Destiny by Aashi Irf ✨

@elentiyapr - Thank you for sharing the copy of the book

@aashi_irf_author

We all remember The Call of Destiny, right? Rehan and Mahira’s love story captivated our hearts, and it’s impossible to forget Dr. Zimaan—the ‘arrogant’ brother who once pushed love aside for ambition. Now, in The Twist of Destiny, Dr. Zimaan returns with his own twisted love story, bringing a whole new side of himself to light. And what a story it is!

Zimaan’s life takes a turn when he encounters Dr. Ruhina Khan, a bold, carefree radiologist with a unique fashion sense and a fearless attitude. This is where opposites truly attract. Their journey unfolds in unexpected ways, with Zimaan’s icy demeanor meeting Ruhi’s fiery spirit, sparking a romance that is as intense as it is heartwarming.

🔸 What I Loved:

Dynamic Chemistry: Zimaan and Ruhi’s banter is addictive, sizzling with tension and humor. Their love grows from rivalry and resistance into something undeniably real.

Hospital Life: Ashi Irf’s portrayal of the medical world is so authentic. The challenges, routines, and pressures of being doctors add depth to the characters and make their bond feel even more meaningful.

Family Bonds: Zimaan’s relationship with his brother Rehan adds a layer of warmth and humor. The banter and the brotherly bond are heartwarming.

Themes of Destiny and Acceptance: This story explores fate’s unexpected twists and the beauty in embracing what life brings—perfectly illustrated in Zimaan and Ruhi’s evolving relationship.

Ashi Irf’s storytelling is a perfect mix of romance, depth, and humor, making this book a true page-turner. If you love stories with a strong desi romance vibe, a touch of spice, and characters who grow and evolve beautifully, The Twist of Destiny is an absolute must-read!

The Call of Destiny" is a beautiful story of love that blooms after marriage. Yes!!! You heard right.. love after marriage. 💗 Author Aashi Irf beautifully has captured this love blooming after marriage. And trust me I was so mesmerized the moment they fell in love with eachother. It's a magical moment. So the couple is Mahira Ali & Rehan Ahmed 💝. Sometimes opposite people fall for eachother unexpectedly and falls harder than anyone else. The line " opposite attracts most" definitely goes to our couple of this book.

Mahira is a MBBS student. Calm,collective, composed, where Rehman is totally opposite, bad boy, wild,bold. 👀 . Alredy you can feel the vibes.
Their marriage was a forced one. To keep Mahira's dying mother's wish,Rehan married Mahira. But this marriage of convience has transformed into love marriage slowly. The transformation is really beautiful. Not only the marriage is transformed but also Mahira's shy, timid nature is transformed too. With the support love care of Rehman,Mahira has become a strong woman. But the journey was never easy. It was a rollercoaster journey of emotion. It' was never easy for both of them to fall for eachother. But eventually destiny has brought them together.

I personally love the character Rehan when he supported his wife infront his mother. The way he took stand is really good. The transformation of Rehan was too beautiful to experience through the book. The way author captured love, emotions is beautiful. I love them too much 🥺 Truly destined couple.

Tropes 👇

I really liked the chemistry of Mahira and Rehaan — like the kind you root for.
And guess what? I surprised myself by breaking my own reading record - finished this one in less than 24 hours. That clearly says something about how easy-breezy yet engaging Aashi di’s writing is. ✨
This was my first book based on Muslim culture, especially the concept of marrying a step cousin.
At first, I honestly didn’t feel like reading it when I found out what their relationship dynamic was. In my culture, that’s a very sacred bond, and I hold that belief close.
But since it’s fiction AND considering I’ve read dark romance too, I decided to set that thought aside and give the story a chance.
And believe me… I don’t regret it at all.
In fact, as I said, I loved their chemistry.

The family drama, the emotional depth, the respect he had for her (and another reason it was okay for me is that she was never seen as a sister, not even a cousin sister, and their culture/faith allows it)… it all made sense in context.
I envied his mother for what she did… but her backstory later made me understand why she was the way she was. Not forgive - just understand.
And Zimaan… bro, learn to love your brother.
As for her father-in-law (who’s also her mamu)... girls need a FIL like that. Fr.

And last but not the least:
Aashi di, you have a beautiful talent for writing emotional stories like this.
Now I fully get the hype around this series. Well, well deserved.
You know, some books might go against your beliefs… but still have that something which touches your heart.
And keeping the cousin dynamic aside- I just loved the trust, loyalty, care, and faith Rehaan and Mahira had for each other. 🩵

He is a misjudged bad boy with a heart of gold the greenest flag. This story is about how, If two people are meant to be together, destiny will find a way to make it happen anyhow Mahira, She is the perfect, prim, and proper good girl, but he managed to bring a wild and carefree girl out of a trapped angel. The transformation of Mahi from a soft-spoken timid girl to a confident, bold woman was so amazing to read. I loved how Rehan became Mahi's strength. After the marriage I really enjoyed their growing friendship which ignites into a simmering attraction between them, finally when he started putting his walls down.
