So, hi again.

Firstly, I apologise that you guys had to wait for more than an entire month to get this sequel - and I will try my utmost best to make sure that I don't disappoint you all.

The fact that you've hung around for so long even after the first book ended, melts my heart. Thank you. Really. Thank you.

And I hope that you enjoy the second book too. I also hope that you have had something to learn or even relate to in my book, either through Lamees or Gunner or just the overall experience in the story.

This book, the sequel, is a bit different than its predecessor. You'll find that it has a more serious tone, and it's a bit more catered towards a mature audience than simply adolescence. That doesn't mean that you can't read it if you're young, I would encourage you to but be cautious. Because this will be more grounded into reality and this book might not be for you, if you're looking for rainbows and perfectly happy endings. So a word of caution.

I hope this won't discourage you from discovering more of Lamees's and Gunner's building relationship and how their story unfolds.

The Girl With The Headscarf was a story about a girl and a boy who fell in love, despite their very different beliefs and cultures, and how their love always kept pulling them back to each other.

The Woman With The Headscarf is about a girl and a boy who grew up. And who still love each other, despite their circumstances, but eventually start to wonder whether love really does conquer all?

I hope you'll read to find out.

Anyway, things still aren't easy for Muslims and there's still a lot, a lot of cruel taunts and bullying that we have to go through, merely because of our beliefs or attires. It isn't right. And I will not tell you to do what's right or don't do what's wrong, because you should know.

It's not hard, knowing that firm line between wrong and right. So do what you'd want other people to do for you. If you want others sticking their neck out for you, then actually do that for someone. You'll be right to expect the same thing from the next person. So do right. Actually help someone, make their day, make an impact in the most smallest and ordinary of ways.

It goes a long way.
