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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM3sS74opE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCUgUIWeb6
"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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeVLdkUW1x
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aaV8Gpc1r
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."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfe08V0eSx
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcwevKcfWc
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?"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEwtF3c8vf
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgEsGNIHe
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."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC0DoVj5rt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNcJeJGfqw
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbmHKaemg1
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFMPI9d0Uc
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VAELQtEsR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF2YIM0KWb
“Be careful!” Jasra shouted from the window. “And come back with real chocolate! I can deal with the one they sell here.”535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1XrHftSzb
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rlHRxkrbe
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CKR1bXl0Y
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdtsbRZOex
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOkMEvhAV7
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ94763ghV
“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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpGexgbBe6
“Well, I’m going to the conference. The same one you invited me.”535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6lzKc4x8b
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL8tHNQAqD
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?”535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFPSehsJXa
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJKe7YlYvf
"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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTw5t0je3m
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeal1ySOE6
"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."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEAClG6yXs
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D3mPSoTX9
"It was the cheapest," Rima chimed in with a playful wink.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HRkVBuyhV
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPh9d46sWa
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxpRfLHbMi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n9C3kmOTP
“Scared of planes?” she asked in a low voice, leaning in the aisle.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqwI2J819w
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2u8foCH4W
“You’re not?” he answered his eyes still closed, head back.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6XatWy102
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynwivFWXBx
“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."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFnuPyDZZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyOy303Rfx
"Just a short flight, huh?" Hasan said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I guess you're right. I've flown many times before."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ81rJn9f6A
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5mgAa9r5Z
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r8GwCAu93
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gbv6mkN5f
“Just … Talk to me? If you don’t mind?” he asked shyly. She had never seen him so vulnerable.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUfLffVUNg
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnpZHnik2a
"So, have you ever been to France before?" Shaheera asked, hoping to steer the conversation to a more pleasant topic.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK87vDzwRcc
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWgLoEWusB
"No, this will be my first time," Hasan replied, his voice a bit tense. "I'm looking forward to exploring a new country, though."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPyQDYoeRB
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnkTXvNcxO
"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."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtggJ6yXfQ8
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vygOuABaf
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."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WkTF97H8r
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwJsgikrWy
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB6AeLbcMo
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFrLDzyrzt
"You know, Hasan, I heard that airplanes are statistically safer than cars. So, technically, we're in good hands!" Shaheera said with a smirk.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGtzxwHRUR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpns2prTK3Y
Hasan couldn't help but chuckle, "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to trust in the statistics."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEnnsc4L8a
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEFHqJDuvO
"That's the spirit!" Shaheera exclaimed, giving him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaC7dqL2ty
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCwaUoJJ69
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX4gPRctsC
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwkrqTf4HN
"By the time we land, you'll forget all about your fear of flying," Shaheera said confidently, giving him a wink.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvyCgJlE9s
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiCAmCOXhG
Hasan smiled genuinely, "I have to admit, you're quite the distraction. Thanks for keeping me company."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI1J6XOVXf
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rjo7eQmQx
"It's my pleasure," Shaheera replied warmly. "We're in this together, and I won't let you feel anxious alone."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrunplyfzsL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAgdKTD8XQ
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlVYQsw0bC
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQZzeOvWBH
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44iXz34HsW
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRAuXmbK9N
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCMPlIaRKL
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnck1pFipDD
"Look outside, Hasan. The sunset is breathtaking," she said, pointing to the window.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZbtaoNLsi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRgRQzNrcx
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cIaETqXWV
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznYsnpucnL
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlMnqRqzKB
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PCOn2MNt8
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY6mY21T7Y
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaAhGdlF1i
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpPKu9P3ZF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0hqfdy90K
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo26fw8zpeK
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwy8R9HaCL
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvFxQ9XScP
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡful0HGIXSY
“So,” he finally said out loud after long minutes of silence, “You and Shaheera are …” he waited for one of them to finish.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpv61nCVGZ
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzzHY8fyAl
“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.”535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI6xbkBs0F
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KH3s3N5A1
“But you wish!” Interrupted Thomas.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJYXyrVnta
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1GoYuBdkw
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyBwJCPEIa
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAvwb9WwWo
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0bAunusYS
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsgutw4C3a
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wUTvsTX7Z
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOuTpe98LH
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsiYNcPssN

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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ6L2qoD2q
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltb5WeUVjP
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp6fdgMguE
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwCgDIKFM3
"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!"535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v2oyt9Sqe
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0QmALresi
The receptionist glanced at her briefly before returning to whatever he was doing, seemingly uninterested.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcZezCZDqa
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5DInmTucC
Hasan, who had been roaming restlessly outside the hotel lobby, unable to find sleep, noticed Shaheera at the reception desk, fervently discussing the situation.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXIh8pfekC
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQc5HcT8DC
"What is she doing here at this hour?" Hasan wondered.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHBPLlQAmt
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYCztZRaoG
As he was about to step in and offer his help, Mark appeared out of nowhere and offered his assistance to Shaheera.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0onfNJWLGp
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdcRM5oT5v
"Hey, need a hand with something? I can help," Mark said with a cheerful smile.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaZx3MLCeR
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl8TqmPBW4
Shaheera looked thankful but declined politely, "Thank you, Mark, but it's okay. You should get some rest. I'll manage."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89vgmFoqds
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMc2wT2xDT
Mark insisted playfully, "You sure? I'm here if you need anything."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwqSuSkH3u
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULqhVmF5E6
"I appreciate it, but really, you should go and rest. I'll handle this," Shaheera assured him with a bitter smile.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDI5pZnt8x
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZKCnZ7Rsf
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob5imK10dO
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Ol7LzQbc
"Hey, Shaheera, do you need any help?" Hasan asked softly.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvneiKeEKVv
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZedaggQmk
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."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsQtckFC6X
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM05Yz2Tove
Hasan chuckled, "Really? No one's ever told me that I have good timing before."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdkEHoQJxi
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbStoE0awvf
"Well, I'm telling you now. You have perfect timing!" Shaheera said with a teasing glint in her eyes.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQleFEArFI
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDHOAHwqYB
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTJtQ74NXS
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XRBmqquyt
"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."535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB85sIBCNN
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWEPUjVkEw
Hasan listened attentively, realizing that Shaheera was opening up about her past.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNdBxHCKDF
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk645Hm5h5
"Why did you choose Canada?" Hasan inquired with genuine curiosity.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLJ2sItcNX
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRnOLWFdZv
"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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5AnUfpQrj
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW0OtPfIvm
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC4gGH173t
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUly4N4IXb
"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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rfib6lN2k
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplh3zTddmK
"Really? I bet it's an incredible place. You should consider traveling sometimes," Shaheera suggested warmly.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFy0HtBxIk
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG6kiftjrw
"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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv56eLkpfZK
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlTOhYCimT

“It’s fine”535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMWXpajDc5

“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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ANUdF7Hg
535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWm36QtE2x
“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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zg36ZWRnt

535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEFcrCBP1K
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.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ofn3MMwB

They shared a handfull of minutes and separated ways, wishing each other goodnight.535Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdkUupstq

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.
