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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0cDkqkLjt
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvyBU3Dy4
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX1ew9EJpf
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uu1CSI0N4
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtjmnwoSCI
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajIEMTYHHC
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?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYDE5TK1kk
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbf1Psgvas
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKI5hyBxZl
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFflbOAHqX
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFS5Slm5Iz
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g4l3p7iz1
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYTsDDSoZt
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Om0RSAP3
“Be careful!” Jasra shouted from the window. “And come back with real chocolate! I can deal with the one they sell here.”560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPVlKe2LMZ
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsPE6uX4Wa
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNKreh9C7y
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtbXY7iOsG
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNUIt35SjB
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoYFSz37wa
“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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpSjHeLxpJ
“Well, I’m going to the conference. The same one you invited me.”560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2PTCT4E93
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB30KyqMOt6
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?”560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Auo8LyqqD
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEfqGd54GT
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjAGsXi5Rn
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu6iBego6r
"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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCGei5MN7G
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRBfXxMnNX
"It was the cheapest," Rima chimed in with a playful wink.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsjSroeeqA
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XuQmcqulA
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2BP1DiMe1
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg8VybHlA3
“Scared of planes?” she asked in a low voice, leaning in the aisle.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UUYTuCeva
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPANWe7c7sl
“You’re not?” he answered his eyes still closed, head back.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWItJcyt6M
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9IM57qQIN
“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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7w2XH9p8G
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3XMdLYOKU
"Just a short flight, huh?" Hasan said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I guess you're right. I've flown many times before."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6wNJYVzNU
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6RqEWBu4y
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjbjDFFx8Q
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt2DXzqVfZ
“Just … Talk to me? If you don’t mind?” he asked shyly. She had never seen him so vulnerable.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6eXjoLBEO
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8XNa1sdm4
"So, have you ever been to France before?" Shaheera asked, hoping to steer the conversation to a more pleasant topic.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A182OQDpH
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfljOarUtD6
"No, this will be my first time," Hasan replied, his voice a bit tense. "I'm looking forward to exploring a new country, though."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8R9XVd6NK
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqoe08ZWp3
"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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaqCMcvsVt
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq3zm4iZT8
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbweqF0CKkx
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZDQYDi44a
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEp6Al5Xdt
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDVyfvB7o1
"You know, Hasan, I heard that airplanes are statistically safer than cars. So, technically, we're in good hands!" Shaheera said with a smirk.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgvXc5Zyql
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPhZ2AIk6d
Hasan couldn't help but chuckle, "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to trust in the statistics."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoqhBO0Cm1
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcQXpQoOm3
"That's the spirit!" Shaheera exclaimed, giving him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m65J9JY2E
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NWwrjhZN4
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKIloWntNe
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHvOeFjU5n
"By the time we land, you'll forget all about your fear of flying," Shaheera said confidently, giving him a wink.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC9HwFuB4R
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi6GIfU2sD
Hasan smiled genuinely, "I have to admit, you're quite the distraction. Thanks for keeping me company."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFNcRfiVIs
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdObzEShB4a
"It's my pleasure," Shaheera replied warmly. "We're in this together, and I won't let you feel anxious alone."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QiLVISoNf
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCttzNFF7
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W6CwQw2Aw
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAPRb7RgW9
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxsLiaYyCx
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLjOPopitJ
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6JYbq4xGB
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUMxw10cl8
"Look outside, Hasan. The sunset is breathtaking," she said, pointing to the window.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVPCY370yU
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfii99BRnG7
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1EjBdUPZ0
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB7bh2JzJQ
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT3qqcZMOH
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZPnvW3Snq
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekw39pPkap
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPelJB4I6c
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxYOfHC2BV
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPHPzgr5HL
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCblifzTtG
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ04uAv4kEO
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpusP4KVtB6
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngIZ6u6pBl
“So,” he finally said out loud after long minutes of silence, “You and Shaheera are …” he waited for one of them to finish.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQay3BWswkf
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmYRZFsiWx
“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.”560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yW1ogSDxO
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdTpV3A3Hk
“But you wish!” Interrupted Thomas.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgRACKBQXc
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AI3G84yww
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jRReMStL9
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBuKXvS8Ak
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ju83xJ7L3
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NpMi9ZHhR
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w2xojKlZW
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnTnQcfrkr
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4VaPIqDmh

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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z25EwoIO3
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAAJlzsRlY
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvHV2GU68x
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN66oxhAO0u
"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!"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrZPuMGkKh
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvQvQI1RHW
The receptionist glanced at her briefly before returning to whatever he was doing, seemingly uninterested.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSzdUnSRVx
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcVAb2COH0
Hasan, who had been roaming restlessly outside the hotel lobby, unable to find sleep, noticed Shaheera at the reception desk, fervently discussing the situation.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2BpzwqZWr
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsewoXGN94
"What is she doing here at this hour?" Hasan wondered.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqmemHOuGq
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMhc822Nk9
As he was about to step in and offer his help, Mark appeared out of nowhere and offered his assistance to Shaheera.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmDpOs5OF6
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsR7lOAvd1
"Hey, need a hand with something? I can help," Mark said with a cheerful smile.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnerTefd5j
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuEx7U5K6w
Shaheera looked thankful but declined politely, "Thank you, Mark, but it's okay. You should get some rest. I'll manage."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuigAuW9jE
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcBiJZqA4x
Mark insisted playfully, "You sure? I'm here if you need anything."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHqItcG9uD
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQjfhg76rF
"I appreciate it, but really, you should go and rest. I'll handle this," Shaheera assured him with a bitter smile.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMriQTLQ61
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStIgPnJSxi
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuoWRp8Yyx
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pk6kokV13
"Hey, Shaheera, do you need any help?" Hasan asked softly.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0FnqWfkm1
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNxHa0IHqk
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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOHL7QJ54w
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPtQgDtae6
Hasan chuckled, "Really? No one's ever told me that I have good timing before."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZA104Dbp9
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bsV5OXlU2
"Well, I'm telling you now. You have perfect timing!" Shaheera said with a teasing glint in her eyes.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbntyPgSzL
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhalI9UkN2R
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uH8kmBA7q
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF8dPCqHzL
"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."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fXTa5XifV
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGG6TV5VbK
Hasan listened attentively, realizing that Shaheera was opening up about her past.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrTyJ0OSLM
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlG9wLOZBm
"Why did you choose Canada?" Hasan inquired with genuine curiosity.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrqyZv6mTj
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jirR8dUP7
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN5iKpftKW
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDem99xbEW
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxbpCFTnho
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe73rK0sfI3
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7RyHfGRBK
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ4tOf1c5h
"Really? I bet it's an incredible place. You should consider traveling sometimes," Shaheera suggested warmly.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiLxq77Gox
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllCryF7aIr
"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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcjSgTKBJW
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXraMJn1rr

“It’s fine”560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLEdzVYaUB

“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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTIzcOyk4N
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpDZLWKOFI
“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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VX4ee95W1

560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZsj1oQf44
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.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W8Tq3m3UJ
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQApxuZPrs3
They shared a handfull of minutes and separated ways, wishing each other goodnight.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoATnBWsNYV

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.
