Between Almost & Always

I’m Mubashshera, a microbiologist by profession, but a storyteller by instinct, quietly drawn to the kind of stories that unfold slowly and stay long after they’re over. In between mentoring and tutoring medical and pharmacy students, I spend my time reading, writing, and getting lost in worlds of my own making, where emotions linger, silences speak, and nothing ever rushes, especially love. I’m endlessly curious, always wandering, always observing, collecting small, ordinary moments and turning them into something softer, deeper… sometimes a little more aching than I intended. This is the first time I’m sharing my work, and it feels a lot like the stories I love, exciting, uncertain, and unfolding one careful step at a time. I’m really glad you’re here for it. I have a soft spot for slow-burn romance, the kind that builds quietly, almost unnoticed, until it becomes everything. Though I won’t lie… I do like it a little dark. And if there’s iced coffee involved, I’m already halfway in love.
