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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckqkXJENlW
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ef34FPyB
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnSv9XYWe9
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPULRdf5ZWj
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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzkFKYCQaJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp74dPjk2F
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?"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmchf7ze99
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbvFPlYDb7
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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1zato5fU3
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRieHg0r7sb
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJtHLnGMx7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhORmT0PUr
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UjgqTec8G
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAom3TKnmI
“Be careful!” Jasra shouted from the window. “And come back with real chocolate! I can deal with the one they sell here.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSmLGQ2Sv7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT8F8LwuL7
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvLVSKuh6h
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuddX6l8IRW
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5z5V9wSAM
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiV78MM3Px
“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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RqRkOusiR
“Well, I’m going to the conference. The same one you invited me.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV7ujBG9Rt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDglgWrDuM
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?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pkRZZcbme
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUrDvJ5vZA
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECTkNA5IIR
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG2YoAzrba
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy84RKfvJMJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o1ADP2Cqa
"It was the cheapest," Rima chimed in with a playful wink.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhatsmLpUdN
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfrL2jiMjF
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1SOFQdfP9
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2UpBWgzV
“Scared of planes?” she asked in a low voice, leaning in the aisle.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYMdzcXtU6
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB31uykxZCG
“You’re not?” he answered his eyes still closed, head back.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmr8301FXu
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIJE7WSA8J
“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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkOroM1GiH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebKmer2xRg
"Just a short flight, huh?" Hasan said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I guess you're right. I've flown many times before."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD8GfWT1Xu
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aa8NbyGog
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqSmyV2VCs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFXBarN3GW
“Just … Talk to me? If you don’t mind?” he asked shyly. She had never seen him so vulnerable.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRWYocp53X
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DceWvo7kZ
"So, have you ever been to France before?" Shaheera asked, hoping to steer the conversation to a more pleasant topic.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBrxL2bC6k
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliyy5R7807
"No, this will be my first time," Hasan replied, his voice a bit tense. "I'm looking forward to exploring a new country, though."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4EUGisNz0
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsIVQWm0jo
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6JI47mKIc
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCKmRVPTnm
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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAuVN16Tqd
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGB30vpDsT
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuFijfHbx1
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJlgW3z3az
"You know, Hasan, I heard that airplanes are statistically safer than cars. So, technically, we're in good hands!" Shaheera said with a smirk.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P4lVOPqth
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdLdXbdMem
Hasan couldn't help but chuckle, "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to trust in the statistics."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFia1ZalRuZ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hEvq3rZNB
"That's the spirit!" Shaheera exclaimed, giving him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUViuPfkeEZ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR08b61TYK
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlAtBv8knx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwJM2EvMOw
"By the time we land, you'll forget all about your fear of flying," Shaheera said confidently, giving him a wink.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHYmrMqqY0
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZuBwRnA6s
Hasan smiled genuinely, "I have to admit, you're quite the distraction. Thanks for keeping me company."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiEAyQtY9v
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm2vjze8wn
"It's my pleasure," Shaheera replied warmly. "We're in this together, and I won't let you feel anxious alone."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPB0N8sgze
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VmGYJM9xu
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsn2Qas6iW
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EIdhSrc3W
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjHOwdjnwH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIPok63Rat
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2RGGApKQM
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJrEHJkm2T
"Look outside, Hasan. The sunset is breathtaking," she said, pointing to the window.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn02JtR4DJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21fPtSq1JT
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGzwNS75HE
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFijIKXUOk
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfsP2FzDBZ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7SXk5cRFi
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPrRAn9qVh
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsNBzAXFiK
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpFE1l4VFG
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FO2TeZjS0
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjKH6SyzgA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93i1NhzvsJ
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJmKdTy9j1
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3xrPEPDvJ
“So,” he finally said out loud after long minutes of silence, “You and Shaheera are …” he waited for one of them to finish.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHQnKBLnB7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzSrgn4FHa
“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.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoqAvkeTUA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn5WFMbe6M
“But you wish!” Interrupted Thomas.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWwXGl89UP
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BIqTcHsC5
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsPRRq73g4
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO2QEeghDj
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYoA95KC5h
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQYVBsjtiK
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPyt1AQcsO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhOgIeOwXh
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWLINnKLVN

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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdBJrreBWy
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgHVcB2JeF
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfvh0jJHVs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdftgc5yjQ
"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!"805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4skymWvtqH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZvbdPLC3F
The receptionist glanced at her briefly before returning to whatever he was doing, seemingly uninterested.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7HfXupzpw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WNpyhkMOf
Hasan, who had been roaming restlessly outside the hotel lobby, unable to find sleep, noticed Shaheera at the reception desk, fervently discussing the situation.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRKyxYGzFJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LKjpelYnE
"What is she doing here at this hour?" Hasan wondered.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXxPGlysJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8whcQheF2Z
As he was about to step in and offer his help, Mark appeared out of nowhere and offered his assistance to Shaheera.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAB8FFAreF
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HSAMey0Ht
"Hey, need a hand with something? I can help," Mark said with a cheerful smile.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjko645xNiD
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMouyejv0Rs
Shaheera looked thankful but declined politely, "Thank you, Mark, but it's okay. You should get some rest. I'll manage."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgOwca9p3m
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HtkTDGjRs
Mark insisted playfully, "You sure? I'm here if you need anything."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJVn7PEDLJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsNsFNzCw7
"I appreciate it, but really, you should go and rest. I'll handle this," Shaheera assured him with a bitter smile.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ2wRWhlBs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQJs4DbbRB
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lhx1gVB7M
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs658n1MHY
"Hey, Shaheera, do you need any help?" Hasan asked softly.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6YJ0vASi6
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4o12SFohz
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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxCBP2DajQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalbrfq7RPU
Hasan chuckled, "Really? No one's ever told me that I have good timing before."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2diif1D4EJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFwS4z6tmK
"Well, I'm telling you now. You have perfect timing!" Shaheera said with a teasing glint in her eyes.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tGl4Wv8Rm
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbmz327TKV
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ovsyuiBrs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpvzgleEBJ
"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."805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpYInHn92K
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NA1YNoX3s
Hasan listened attentively, realizing that Shaheera was opening up about her past.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j2FqEZCjY
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Iq6BazmvD
"Why did you choose Canada?" Hasan inquired with genuine curiosity.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekpDQBdYr5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvBv553bu3
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYZ8CDGFWW
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoDilxaFU7
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s3TDJxugv
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKAewzy269
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZA9zunqoH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglx7YohimJ
"Really? I bet it's an incredible place. You should consider traveling sometimes," Shaheera suggested warmly.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXb64INCqt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbySpnymLk
"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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjImgKqlmFr

“It’s fine”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSziB5bf647

“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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZIXubQA6Z
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSgGVYLqqV
“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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4dckddlE1

805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW9zqReCiY
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.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8VrhaLrHQ

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.
