It was 6 Am. in the morning and the cozy living room of Shaheera's and Jasra’s apartment was buzzing with activity. Suitcases were scattered around as she and Jasra prepared for the upcoming business trip to France. Jasra couldn't help but tease Shaheera for taking what seemed like her entire wardrobe for just a seven-day trip.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6KkQ9ovwB
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqHmIC3EIF
"Seriously, Shaheera, do you plan on opening a boutique there?" Jasra joked, eyeing the mountain of clothes that Shaheera was trying to fit into her suitcase.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6331G9D5o0
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly17abLNMp
Shaheera laughed, brushing off her friend's playful banter. "I just want to be prepared for any occasion. You never know what might come up during the conference."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Vl13jLGx
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YS1fM1hqQ
Amidst the packing chaos, Shaheera couldn't resist asking Jasra about work. "By the way, who will be taking over for Hasan while he's away at the conference?"550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS6Dwq1RUH
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo19lBC1LD
Jasra's face lit up with amusement. "Oh, it's going to be Yaasir. He's quite the character, and he's definitely funnier than Hasan. Mr. I-Know-everything is about as funny as a dead body."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Kj5db3OA
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp2WxUaT4f
Shaheera chuckled, remembering their lighthearted encounter in the parking lot. It had been some time since she had heard from Hasan, and she wondered if he was doing well.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88UfQ7QX8m
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T9Yz688Wf
After what seemed like an eternity of packing, a car horn honked outside. It was Thomas, Rima, and Mark, who had come to pick her up for their trip to the airport. Shaheera quickly donned her beige hijab and joined her friends in the car, her suitcase finally zipped shut.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPzJQq3LK4
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GWaE5ttxr
“Be careful!” Jasra shouted from the window. “And come back with real chocolate! I can deal with the one they sell here.”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPNQl9mG6I
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zcKxmkwZH
The car ride to the airport was filled with laughter and singing, as they decided to have an impromptu karaoke session to lighten the mood. Shaheera felt grateful for the companionship of her friends, and the nervousness she had felt about the trip began to subside. At the airport, they smoothly navigated through the check-in and security process. However, at the security checkpoint, Shaheera encountered a small challenge. She was asked to remove her hijab for security purposes, which left her feeling a bit uneasy. Rima quickly stepped in, offering her jacket to cover Shaheera while she complied with the security procedures. Her friends' support made her feel more at ease, and she knew that she was not alone in these moments of discomfort.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCXzhlPYW7
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJDX49plPN
Once on the plane, Shaheera found her seat near the aisle, and she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw someone familiar walking down the aisle. It was Hasan. They both smiled at the serendipitous encounter, and Shaheera introduced him to her friends and colleagues.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjT850ITBO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52JCKvOt8s
“Hasan! What are you doing here?” She asked her smile as wild as the pleasure she felt to see him after so long. Hasan smile disappeared, seeing her friends behind her looking at him, wondering who he was. He coughed a little, making himself time to build his confidence back. And with his usual stoic face, he answered her.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYjzECQ9Rl
“Well, I’m going to the conference. The same one you invited me.”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIUov5ylUZ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjsOOR25E8
Shaheera looked nervous. “You’re stupid,” she thought to herself. “Of course, he’s going to the conference, what did you think he would answer?”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP0Ob0YFUg
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jo6H3mK8R
"Yes of course” she chuckled shyly. “Hmm, well, Hasan meet Thomas, Rima, and Mark. They are the wonderful people I get to work with," Shaheera said with a warm smile trying to hide her embarrassment.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkINCUVpZe2
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw604ZGSmGl
"Nice to meet all of you," Hasan greeted them politely, his eyes lingering on Shaheera. "I didn't expect to see you on this flight."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnlDBOVsOy
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkWGUM2dm1
"It was the cheapest," Rima chimed in with a playful wink.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN33diCidK
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitknHqQKql
As Hasan took the seat next to the aisle, Shaheera felt a sense of comfort knowing she wouldn't be alone during the long journey. Shaheera was sitting by the aisle, on the right side of the plane. To his left was Rima, deep in conversation with Thomas. Hasan sat next to Shaheera, on the other side of the aisle, on the right side of the plane. Mark to his right. Shaheera smiled at him and then joined Thomas and Rima’s conversation waiting for teh plane to take off. However, she heard her right deep breath. She looked at Hasan and saw him eyes closed.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98qIgAheFe
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXySGaNY3q
“Scared of planes?” she asked in a low voice, leaning in the aisle.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcjM4Gc3bJ
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZYsrIkivA
“You’re not?” he answered his eyes still closed, head back.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMruiQZJYdA
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeuePjHJc1
“I’ve taking planes since I was a baby.” she laughed. Hasan didn’t answer anything and just kept his eyes closed. “Come on, Hasan, it's just a short flight to France near Switzerland. We'll be there before you know it."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OrrR683Ei
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcAotDykTY
"Just a short flight, huh?" Hasan said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I guess you're right. I've flown many times before."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGinKRLiVYn
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbvEIerDN8
Shaheera knew that Hasan was trying to put on a brave front, but she also knew that his fear was genuine. She decided to engage him in conversation to take his mind off the flight. "Need anything?” she finally asked softly. Hasan looked at her, astonished to hear her usual joyful voice, calm and almost tender. Her eyes were full of concern and her mouth forming a grin. he closed his eyes rapidly.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVizLYEWUb
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1XM94xN1b
“Just … Talk to me? If you don’t mind?” he asked shyly. She had never seen him so vulnerable.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI2ctpUoEw
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEk68rA0kX
"So, have you ever been to France before?" Shaheera asked, hoping to steer the conversation to a more pleasant topic.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tcONw7hG5
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDNRzBlLe7
"No, this will be my first time," Hasan replied, his voice a bit tense. "I'm looking forward to exploring a new country, though."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKS8EfA4d6
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrHHDr2eex
"That's great! France is beautiful, and I'm sure you'll love it," Shaheera said warmly. "We have some exciting plans lined up for the conference and a bit of sightseeing, too."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvWxp3Q4HH
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCIqQFIjXX
Hasan nodded, trying to focus on the positive aspects of the trip. "Yes, I've heard that the conference is going to be quite interesting. I'm looking forward to it."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKAYViA0HL
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce0tgAR8np
As the flight progressed, Shaheera kept the conversation light and engaging, talking about their travel experiences and sharing funny anecdotes from previous trips. She cracked jokes and teased Hasan playfully, trying to make him laugh.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcWDP7LGLV
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjusOcU3bf4
"You know, Hasan, I heard that airplanes are statistically safer than cars. So, technically, we're in good hands!" Shaheera said with a smirk.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnswKn3zQz
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02eQRDfoE3
Hasan couldn't help but chuckle, "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to trust in the statistics."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSbQeJOJat
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL7Vl644Qt
"That's the spirit!" Shaheera exclaimed, giving him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9tW44e5km
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirp2g8symi
As the flight continued, Shaheera and Hasan chatted about their favorite foods, music, and hobbies, discovering shared interests and laughing at each other's quirks.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ1D2EBqvT
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUK2aqotCQ
"By the time we land, you'll forget all about your fear of flying," Shaheera said confidently, giving him a wink.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwc1AjGaOm
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7cXiC70gK
Hasan smiled genuinely, "I have to admit, you're quite the distraction. Thanks for keeping me company."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqbFKZ9Bbs
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQpk7bMDG8
"It's my pleasure," Shaheera replied warmly. "We're in this together, and I won't let you feel anxious alone."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jnSaRQk34
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ZyXytBmO
With Shaheera's humor and support, the flight that once seemed daunting became more bearable for Hasan. He found himself enjoying their conversation, forgetting about his fear, if only for a little while.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jCdo9qzcn
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ466adBXrTo
Time seemed to fly by as they exchanged stories and laughter, the hours on the plane passing by in a blur of meaningful conversations. Shaheera felt a newfound connection with Hasan, and the chemistry between them was undeniable.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAcADJjDIU
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27TmzMZ3TJ
As they flew towards the border of Switzerland, the sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange. The beauty of the moment was not lost on Shaheera, and she couldn't help but share the view with Hasan.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraaQPIoUEh
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJtuKog0Ol
"Look outside, Hasan. The sunset is breathtaking," she said, pointing to the window.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBDejyjRtW
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8MRGY89KE
Hasan followed her gaze and admired the scenery. "It's stunning," he replied softly looking back at her, not sure if the compliment was for the vue or her.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UApdeESOS
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs3OHNnmX4
Shaheera blushed, feeling her heart skip a beat at his words. The playful teasing and professional facade seemed to have dissolved, leaving behind a tender connection that was impossible to ignore.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPU2aSeKzv
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3PLL6jyR6
The plane's tires gently touched the tarmac as it landed at the airport in France, near the Switzerland border. Shaheera, Thomas, Rima, Mark, and Hasan disembarked, the excitement of the trip still lingering in the air. Amidst the joyful chatter of her friends and colleagues, Hasan remained quiet, his mind preoccupied with thoughts he dared not express.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRbDO4vkuT
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCj8MuSDRS
As they made their way through the airport, Mark detached himself from the group and approached Hasan with a friendly smile. For a moment, Hasan wondered if Mark was the one Shaheera was promised to marry, his heart clenching at the thought. However, he pushed those thoughts aside, keeping his emotions hidden behind a stoic facade.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltbHrxp6dx
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa47AmuBa3t
The group gathered outside the airport, and a friendly taxi driver approached them, speaking rapidly in French. Hasan looked at him with a blank expression, not understanding a word. Shaheera came to the rescue, fluently conversing with the driver and providing the destination details of their hotel.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjLa1d2X4Y
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloUTTuenJD
They split into two cars due to space constraints, and Hasan found himself in one with Thomas and Mark. Thomas expressed his delight at having Shaheera on the team, while Mark playfully teased that Thomas was lucky. Hasan listened in silence, the doubts he harbored growing stronger with each passing word.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWyD3haiyU
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCabYmXhqk
“So,” he finally said out loud after long minutes of silence, “You and Shaheera are …” he waited for one of them to finish.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrY9yPcSNo
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9URetJ1uLh
“Oh no!” Mark finally said, laughing shyly, scratching the back of his head. “We’re just good friends, she supported me when I decided to convert. Nothing going on between us.”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqSmzpVDM1
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTdG5giRX
“But you wish!” Interrupted Thomas.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyvRObeZim
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceoovtpapR
Their voices faded into the background as Hasan's thoughts consumed him. He couldn't help but wonder about the unspoken feelings between him and Shaheera. Still, he chose to remain silent, convinced that it was best to keep his emotions concealed.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG9OUsL7kg
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwUHRbohYh
The journey to their hotel was long and Hasan stayed reserved, his attention shifting between the interactions around him and the views outside the window. The Alps loomed in the distance, their majestic peaks seemingly mirroring the uncertainty he felt within.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiobx6HlN4K
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMKq6febog
Arriving at the hotel, Hasan noticed Shaheera and Rima chatting animatedly as they entered the lobby. He admired Shaheera's energy and charm from afar, captivated by her presence.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiUYrUykkl
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwXendJcOJ
As the hours passed, the group settled into their rooms, each preparing for a much-needed rest after the long journey. He couldn't deny the connection they shared, but fear held him back from expressing his feelings. And in this moment his mother was searching for him to marry. Someone he would share his life with.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iR1BkOvzO

550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF6oCXKrOX
The conference preparation was in full swing, and Shaheera found herself working late into the night to ensure everything was ready for the big day. As the only one fluent in French, she took charge of handling all the intricate details of the event, making sure nothing was overlooked. After the long trip they had, all she wanted was to go to sleep and take a bath if she could.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3X1iE2lj0
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQWeGfZACf
The hotel receptionist seemed to be inattentive, and Shaheera was growing frustrated. She had reserved a specific room for the conference, and when she arrived to check on its setup, she found it messy and unclean.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEO0uhHuGj
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fndHOcUdg
"Excuse me," Shaheera said, trying to keep her composure, "but this room was supposed to be cleaned and ready for the conference. We have just two days left!"550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlVxDvd10N
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgpB1Cz1Iu
The receptionist glanced at her briefly before returning to whatever he was doing, seemingly uninterested.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4SbhqXHWX
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJRYpaqMZt
Hasan, who had been roaming restlessly outside the hotel lobby, unable to find sleep, noticed Shaheera at the reception desk, fervently discussing the situation.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgXg94nhHV
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbj7REzSSt
"What is she doing here at this hour?" Hasan wondered.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOhM7gaf0J
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCDLyxs1om
As he was about to step in and offer his help, Mark appeared out of nowhere and offered his assistance to Shaheera.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQH3A1EFHV
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2lUGOGj85
"Hey, need a hand with something? I can help," Mark said with a cheerful smile.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIMwEF9Kkc
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7spzebwaHm
Shaheera looked thankful but declined politely, "Thank you, Mark, but it's okay. You should get some rest. I'll manage."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1jYs0QXg3
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUwpambWxc
Mark insisted playfully, "You sure? I'm here if you need anything."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3V7NzEpsj
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO6pNdn3xZ
"I appreciate it, but really, you should go and rest. I'll handle this," Shaheera assured him with a bitter smile.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtfN7T3B7a
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1KwpkmGSi
Mark bid her goodnight and left, still unaware of Hasan's presence nearby. As soon as Mark disappeared, Hasan stepped forward, deciding it was his moment to intervene.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcrXy1FFur
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQoxpzZ7dP
"Hey, Shaheera, do you need any help?" Hasan asked softly.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwD1i3Oz9P
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZVy4oNHiT
Shaheera turned, surprised to see Hasan standing there. A smile lit up her face, "Hasan! It's good to see you. You know, you have a knack for showing up at just the right time."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLR1JpA5In
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdRkEbraEf
Hasan chuckled, "Really? No one's ever told me that I have good timing before."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp8C0XWBVA
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbUfSsLzy6
"Well, I'm telling you now. You have perfect timing!" Shaheera said with a teasing glint in her eyes.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oyIIusvQY
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jiI1buwsP
They shared a laugh, and Hasan felt a sense of warmth in Shaheera's presence. The receptionist came back and explained to Shaheera the procedure and what the hotel could do for the room to be prepared in time. Hasan felt stupid. He had offered his help but with no French he was useless. he just states beside her, arms crosses, looking indifferent like he was always looking. the problem handled, they moved away from the reception desk, standing near a window overlooking the night-lit city.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGw8XjHLZY
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrwCejDnM6
"You know," Shaheera began, her tone softer now, "I left France to come to Canada for a fresh start. It was a big decision, leaving everything behind, but I needed a change. It’s weird to come back."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtxcosrAi6
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79AWmRMDqo
Hasan listened attentively, realizing that Shaheera was opening up about her past.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzYBCxNZHH
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYrWuKfxk2
"Why did you choose Canada?" Hasan inquired with genuine curiosity.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb7TsByVSL
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf8NjiKbpt
"I had always dreamt of experiencing life in a different country, and Canada seemed like the perfect place. It's diverse, welcoming, and has so much to offer," Shaheera explained thoughtfully. “And I love snow” she finished.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1rZyMwyqq
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHydFLTEtjO
Hasan admired Shaheera's resilience and courage. He could see the determination in her eyes as she talked about her journey. However, when it came to sharing his own life story, he hesitated.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qhcuWP5JT
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zglcFo270
"You've adapted so well. It's admirable. And you know, I've never really went to Pakistan. I sometimes regret this decision" Hasan revealed with a hint of vulnerability.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtHJOlxddO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwW4OVfDHD
"Really? I bet it's an incredible place. You should consider traveling sometimes," Shaheera suggested warmly.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAad0hCsQpP
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRzGG5mKHT
"Maybe I will, someday," Hasan replied, a faint smile playing on his lips, but he didn’t say more. They fell into a comfortable silence, both lost in their thoughts and the night's tranquility.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrONQwKgKFH
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1SJRLVrTP
“Commitment is a complicated thing,” she said. “But it’s a too deep conversation after the long day we had.”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpu1IRJT5h

“It’s fine”550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs70Qm6LnSx
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5nwg26kOw
She waited for him to keep the conversation going, but he kept silent and looked over the window. He wasn’t a talker. She smiled softly.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmNi8U8Isw

“I’m sure I’ll reciprocate. No plan for a wedding?” She finally asked. Hasan eyes stopped their contemplation of the sky and went to her. This would have been the perfect moment to confess. But from what he heard from Jasra, she was engaged. And even though they knew each other for such a short time, all he wanted was to see her smile. either it was with him or not. He coughed a little, his eyes drifting back to the sky above.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjodDcjdgjW
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6yWsDVqLf
“Arranged marriage. My mother is looking for someone who could share my life,” he said in a low voice, almost like a whisper. To make it sound like a lie or a dream that was never real. because the person he wanted to learn about and marry was right beside him. “You? Any plan?” he asked innocently.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HorT1oU8H
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTft4Vg2r8R

550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTtcKcWz7X
Hasan thought he was falling for a second. She was not engaged? What did that witch of Jasra say? The weight of uncertainty that had been pressing on him since their encounter in the parking lot suddenly lifted, and a glimmer of hope sparked within him. He couldn't deny the rush of relief and excitement that washed over him, knowing that she was still available. But he kept his emotions carefully concealed, unsure of what the future held for them.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2MbSLMMUz
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbiQExP8mK
They shared a handfull of minutes and separated ways, wishing each other goodnight.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGEeXgruiO
550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnosIyXz7Q
Hasan couldn't help but feel a growing fondness for Shaheera, appreciating her honesty and kindness. But he knew that their connection went beyond mere friendship, and he felt the pull of emotions that he was not yet ready to confront.
