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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDAJwMQ95c
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CkouBPn7v
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldxpMfPxCB
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiCs65jwgV
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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyvbqUz0MT
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB7mPVZ866
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?"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcgCXp9zxJ
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZA9oTZiWf
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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVxlaYSBsW
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk98Wtsxln
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB3eHpPJYW
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkipaSHVT8q
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8etxHBfpoI
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0jMYwBpNc
“Be careful!” Jasra shouted from the window. “And come back with real chocolate! I can deal with the one they sell here.”591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4qjxsW4dp
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HIAVAUH7
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0pou3dl1d
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wudsbasmD
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ3w2C7U8t
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXCFDXS6uU
“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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWcvgBIWSd
“Well, I’m going to the conference. The same one you invited me.”591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP3EwHJD8v
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixhKuOFzlU
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?”591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum8dFdLOqi
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof6RZKvOK3
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUFsohEy7q
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5gEX8046t
"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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv86htzUX8
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ibnjMabK
"It was the cheapest," Rima chimed in with a playful wink.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SZjaz21UR
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n2GsfCmHd
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtZgoKMcBO
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gDgghLav0
“Scared of planes?” she asked in a low voice, leaning in the aisle.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJl7ffJ3JK
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H7bHdCGjV
“You’re not?” he answered his eyes still closed, head back.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN91aTgYGu0
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw2B13bFlh
“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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISowB6rfOI
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq753V1bXA
"Just a short flight, huh?" Hasan said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I guess you're right. I've flown many times before."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZMF1AyP4Y
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cYbBXPg0a
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk0Q3VRdz0
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0TFUfLyRW
“Just … Talk to me? If you don’t mind?” he asked shyly. She had never seen him so vulnerable.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqfJL4xCeo
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKAGE8ONt3
"So, have you ever been to France before?" Shaheera asked, hoping to steer the conversation to a more pleasant topic.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbZgrsgvKj
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hMhtuVChv
"No, this will be my first time," Hasan replied, his voice a bit tense. "I'm looking forward to exploring a new country, though."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3wlvc9XJv
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pi3Yw6QBo
"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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQE9ZjLGjj
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX4nJ9WjUx
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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMEk8nbgIE
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvDHSUuHAZ
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvHzGDbG2a
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWLUvRATPg
"You know, Hasan, I heard that airplanes are statistically safer than cars. So, technically, we're in good hands!" Shaheera said with a smirk.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrMAGvIDw8
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCU1vxuShW
Hasan couldn't help but chuckle, "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to trust in the statistics."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZEfwhj8dS
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95fejOWV9G
"That's the spirit!" Shaheera exclaimed, giving him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ltLvBt1e
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDUCjBYR82
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJveW7Te8u
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxWH2CptX3
"By the time we land, you'll forget all about your fear of flying," Shaheera said confidently, giving him a wink.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAHX3HIYdQ
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE9XpzndvJ
Hasan smiled genuinely, "I have to admit, you're quite the distraction. Thanks for keeping me company."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IjIfdlyH3
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4uWzpMc9e
"It's my pleasure," Shaheera replied warmly. "We're in this together, and I won't let you feel anxious alone."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZMwPHBWie
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYWTgV7muI
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7wpkVgq4Z
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo96ct2j2H
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcc34IIAVx
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMqywg1esM
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfUd3cNBBB
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73dFhvcIrK
"Look outside, Hasan. The sunset is breathtaking," she said, pointing to the window.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNxTf9RZ4R
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoVstsQhuo
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAQHdEQMi
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnW6vfSGF5
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44VZb3YmI5
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJQbnce9Vq
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeMKyVmhvO
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYlemntejj
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnSwKoHemu
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PsbjU6ezV
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8nDX8rzM6
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapXl3qlyZj
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWYrIy17in
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVOYfyccue
“So,” he finally said out loud after long minutes of silence, “You and Shaheera are …” he waited for one of them to finish.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Lpu0Qp3K
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSK0d6L7au
“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.”591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqMO4aFBGK
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq4dxgA6gg
“But you wish!” Interrupted Thomas.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAwVB7XjIN
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eoLUT3uZY
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC2RLXrKZv
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr4Hn5wuwl
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2HNcT067D
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkyGhBhmdw
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItAAr9yAZB
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7NzRlUotr
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wUz3kCwfb

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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcj3H9Q0Rg
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19IW0ySF7y
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ845d4qPxQ5
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡictwdagpDS
"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!"591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcAiJl68Lm
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvBEBkRIj7
The receptionist glanced at her briefly before returning to whatever he was doing, seemingly uninterested.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPafsYsJsL
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybGKOA48Dq
Hasan, who had been roaming restlessly outside the hotel lobby, unable to find sleep, noticed Shaheera at the reception desk, fervently discussing the situation.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Sx2IE2DQ
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP9cu0HmAs
"What is she doing here at this hour?" Hasan wondered.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJh3sogdfO
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuQtw15l9g
As he was about to step in and offer his help, Mark appeared out of nowhere and offered his assistance to Shaheera.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC0kJSG2KM
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTbxgmpSHE
"Hey, need a hand with something? I can help," Mark said with a cheerful smile.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq713cFS9OZ
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdUKBrajAl
Shaheera looked thankful but declined politely, "Thank you, Mark, but it's okay. You should get some rest. I'll manage."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSW9vRUxDy
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTmWH5Ds6w
Mark insisted playfully, "You sure? I'm here if you need anything."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMdk1rm8z2
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt5s8P6bRF
"I appreciate it, but really, you should go and rest. I'll handle this," Shaheera assured him with a bitter smile.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9gDMR1UHu
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZnMRypofs
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CUjP6Kyno
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIutLefRjYv
"Hey, Shaheera, do you need any help?" Hasan asked softly.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGphoVwFkoD
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq2ezmDQuF
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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFar5rHIFQH
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiejVdTiFR
Hasan chuckled, "Really? No one's ever told me that I have good timing before."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjohxVf646G
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFG3YgU0W2
"Well, I'm telling you now. You have perfect timing!" Shaheera said with a teasing glint in her eyes.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmhFlsB6l5
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEksWfwgTv
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3FPokY0kO
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaIlQvWl5z
"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."591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQs6IQZHwo
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXes2sFzfP6
Hasan listened attentively, realizing that Shaheera was opening up about her past.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt6yyHw3C0
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1yJsGmcbb
"Why did you choose Canada?" Hasan inquired with genuine curiosity.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK36eS9lrvH
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkJzSRcW2U
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0tce6oz2k
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9al71Vp9yO
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4jPuXa2ng
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFt1fFHKq
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVwCWVzgBm
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qYWFwSlAM
"Really? I bet it's an incredible place. You should consider traveling sometimes," Shaheera suggested warmly.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULk0rqubrl
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdqfN10YCD
"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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPV9iICACJ
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCkqFLrtfL
“Commitment is a complicated thing,” she said. “But it’s a too deep conversation after the long day we had.”591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpxOKn5epB

“It’s fine”591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQkTkPd31s
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzYZdSgbPa
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVjihuywcu

“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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk533NUjS1l
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFI70MYgd8
“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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKWfvBsNWO
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQjWuGCcP4

591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CCR81KVig
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.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34iGKwLru9
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIyo63GZb2
They shared a handfull of minutes and separated ways, wishing each other goodnight.591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2FO9j5K1R
591Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSODKBcI5w1
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.
