Restless in the silence of the night, Shaheera found herself immersed in the daunting task ahead. The conference she had to organize for the next day weighed heavily on her mind. Her notes lay scattered around, each page representing a puzzle piece she needed to fit together. The clock ticked relentlessly, and as the darkness lingered, she decided to face the challenge head-on. Mind focus, Shaheera took a moment to pray Fajr, seeking guidance and strength from the Divine. "Guide me, Allah," she whispered.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4OinV94AS
With the first light of dawn, determination glimmered in her eyes as she rose from her prayer. Clad in quiet resolve, she began her meticulous work. Rima soon joined her, offering a helping hand. Together, they navigated through the labyrinth of tasks, but Shaheera took on the lion's share, her fluency in French making her indispensable.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVNIgPY3P9
"I can't believe how much there is to do," Shaheera sighed, arranging the conference schedule for the umpteenth time.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Bg8wtzst
Rima smiled reassuringly. "You've got this, Shaheera! We'll make sure everything is perfect."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtFUjWZV7H
Shaheera nodded, grateful for her friend's support. "Thanks, Rima. I don't know what I'd do without you."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xY6iRFym8
As the morning sun bathed the room in a warm glow, Shaheera's focus narrowed, her world revolving solely around the upcoming conference. The outside world seemed to fade as her dedication enveloped her. Hours passed, and she continued to toil diligently, her mind consumed with the smallest of details. She barely noticed the passage of time as her determination kept her moving forward.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGqzDCtPNr
As the morning slipped away, Shaheera hardly paused for a break. Rima watched her friend with admiration, her heart swelling with pride for Shaheera's tireless efforts.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCtnYJO6GD
"You're amazing," Rima said, handing her a cup of coffee. "You're making it all come together so seamlessly."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehmzlIecP9
Shaheera gratefully accepted the coffee, taking a moment to sit down. "Thanks, Rima. I just want everything to be perfect. As I planned it."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSZJmeVm6k
"You've got this," Rima repeated, offering a reassuring smile. "We'll get through this together."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhibisluajJ
As the sun climbed higher, guests started arriving at the hotel, their voices a gentle hum that filled the air. Shaheera's heart raced, knowing that everything had to be flawless for the conference to be a success.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbF9ymVnIo
Meanwhile, on the ground floor, Hasan descended, drawn by a subtle curiosity. His analytical mind found solace in observing the interactions of others, and the conference provided the perfect opportunity for him to observe and learn. As he entered the conference hall, he was struck by the sight of Shaheera, adjusting her hijab before a mirror. The soft glow of the sunlight kissed her face, and her eyes held a sense of purpose and grace.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jp9mXrczS
Unconsciously, Hasan halted in his tracks, captivated by her presence. He hadn't even had the chance to take his seat on one of the chairs placed around when he found himself entranced by her poise and determination. Instead, he chose to stand at the back of the room, his notepad ready. Shaheera caught sight of him in the reflection of the mirror. She turned, surprised to see Hasan observing her. A gentle smile graced her lips as she approached him.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBPt1punJU
"Good morning, Dr. Hasan," she greeted warmly. "Are you ready to take notes like the diligent doctor you are?"566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQca2EeuWGN
Hasan's stoic exterior cracked ever so slightly, and he managed a small smile. "Always, Shaheera. I find it helps me stay focused."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H89KPS79k
"Focused or not, I hope you find something interesting to write about," she teased playfully, her laughter like a melody that danced through the air.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeLEu1UABA
Hasan couldn't help but be intrigued by the way Shaheera's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I'm sure there will be plenty of noteworthy moments," he replied with a hint of amusement in his voice.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeywiV7Ly6
As the first speech came to a close, the conference hall buzzed with applause and excitement. Shaheera and Hasan stood side by side, basking in the aftermath of a successful event. The connection between them, though unspoken, was undeniable, and a sense of comfort settled between the two.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKQ6e6Tp7O
Hasan hesitated for a moment, feeling a peculiar pull to initiate a conversation with Shaheera. He admired her dedication and passion for the event, finding himself drawn to her bright spirit. But just as he was about to speak, Mark approached and pulled Shaheera aside, requesting her assistance with translation.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm5B1VEloY
"Shaheera, the caterer has some questions about dietary preferences. Can you handle it?"566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyKjGZT9en
Shaheera nodded, her mind already racing with solutions. "Of course, I'll take care of it. Just let me know where they are."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGSxajRCKO
Mark pointed her in the right direction, and she quickly resolved the issue with the caterer, ensuring that every guest's needs were met. As the afternoon sun painted the sky with hues of gold, the conference hall still buzzed with activity. Hasan remained in the background, his notepad filled with observations and insights. 566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcGlbCOZeS
Hasan watched from a distance, his heart sinking slightly at the sight. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as he observed Shaheera's easy camaraderie with Mark. He quickly pushed those feelings aside, reminding himself that he was not one to openly express emotions.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQhUJ4z3wG
Meanwhile, Shaheera assisted Mark with translation, and the two of them seemed to share a light-hearted banter. Her laughter filled the room, and Mark couldn't help but feel at ease in her company. However, underneath the surface, there seemed to be a subtle tension, though Shaheera dismissed it as her own overthinking.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM4HbVIlpa
After their conversation ended, Shaheera returned to Hasan's side, and they resumed their quiet companionship. The rest of the afternoon flew by as they continued to work diligently, focusing on the conference's smooth operation.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlaS5q0QNJ
Rima approached her again, offering to help with some last-minute tasks. The two of them worked seamlessly together, with Rima providing support wherever needed. Shaheera felt blessed to have such a caring friend by her side.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqmrKvsLMe
However, as the day wore on, Shaheera couldn't help but notice Hasan's distant expression. She spotted him still standing at the back of the room, silently observing the event. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts, his notepad filled with meticulous notes. She was concerned for him. It looked like he didn’t move from the place for teh whole day, just staying quiet most of teh time or engaging small talk with other doctors present. 566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLp87s3YYU
Approaching him, Shaheera smiled warmly. "Thank you for being here today, Hasan," she said sincerely. "Your presence was appreciated."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI6WkiEREr
Hasan turned to face her, his eyes softening. "It was my pleasure, Shaheera. You did an excellent job."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BBZRPdSLo
His genuine praise made Shaheera's heart flutter, and she blushed slightly. "Thank you," she replied, her voice gentle. It was such a small praise, but it was enough for her to start blushing. Was it his voice? Or the way he always pronounced her name? Like it was the most delicious word to say out loud. 566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbp5U0BPcA
They exchanged a few more words, their eyes locking in a silent understanding. It felt as though their souls were connected through an invisible thread, an unspoken bond that neither of them dared to acknowledge openly.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmybcNgW5dy
Just as the moment seemed ripe for further connection, Mark's interruption broke their trance. He approached Shaheera, requesting her help with something else. She nodded, excusing herself again to attend to Mark's needs.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcB2vlFJ3a
Hasan stepped back, feeling like an intruder in their conversation. He, again, quickly suppressed the unwelcome surge of jealousy, reminding himself that Shaheera was free to interact with her colleagues as she pleased.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ377zLF7nrP
Rima noticed Hasan's disheartened expression and approached him once more. "Are you alright, Hasan?" she asked softly.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7CN0qlEkD
He forced a smile, attempting to dismiss the whirlwind of emotions that threatened to overwhelm him. "I'm just tired from the long day," he replied.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEGE1c1qKu
Rima sensed there was more to it, but she respected Hasan's privacy. She stood by his side, offering her silent support as the evening progressed.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6kcFE3Anc
As the conference came to a close, Shaheera found herself reflecting on the events of the day. Her heart warmed at the memory of Hasan's presence.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqZzsSKCMq
Rima approached her with a knowing smile. "You know, Shaheera, sometimes the best connections are those that go unspoken."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiLoNYWWNz
Shaheera blushed, her heart skipping a beat. "What do you mean?" she asked, trying to appear nonchalant.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz7fYVyS0G
Rima chuckled. "You and Hasan seem to have a special bond, even without saying much. Sometimes, the quietest hearts hold the deepest emotions."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPqSUtjei1
Shaheera's cheeks turned even rosier, and she glanced across the room at Hasan, who was still observing from afar. She wondered if there was truth in Rima's observation.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQcnqSQp08
As the night wore on, Hasan and Shaheera's paths continued to cross. They exchanged knowing glances, each feeling a sense of comfort in the other's presence. Though their emotions remained unspoken, they found solace in the silent connection they shared.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLdYGjQBzE
As the conference hall slowly emptied, Hasan and Shaheera found themselves walking side by side, ready to embrace the serendipity of their newfound bond. The unspoken words between them seemed to echo softly in the air, carrying the promise of a beautiful connection yet to be fully explored.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKXY998cjL
***566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCeup1vjbR
The evening of the conference's success was a joyful affair for the publishing house where Shaheera worked. The team gathered, celebrating their achievements, and decided to head to a restaurant on the outskirts of the city for a delightful dinner together.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprLtJVhcCc
As fate would have it, Shaheera and Hasan found themselves seated next to each other. Shaheera's heart raced with anticipation, but she masked her excitement with a warm smile as she engaged Hasan in conversation.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5PQPn7C5q
"Quite a day, isn't it?" Shaheera began, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxHsrhoprn
Hasan nodded, his eyes meeting hers. "Indeed. The event was well-organized, and you did an exceptional job, Shaheera."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsocrqdRsX
Her cheeks flushed at the compliment. "Thank you, Hasan. Your presence and support meant a lot to me."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHhpvHD6rn
Silence felt as they understood they had been repeated teh same conversation teh whole day. Hasan smiled gently. "You have a natural talent for bringing people together. It's commendable."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAEesE17X2
Shaheera chuckled, a touch of shyness in her voice. "Oh, you're making me blush now. But I must admit, seeing everyone come together today made it all worth it."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOrhf1nALr
Throughout the evening, the lively chatter and laughter enveloped the group. Shaheera and Hasan found themselves immersed in conversation, each moment drawing them closer.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtciNNAdo
"So, Hasan, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?" Shaheera inquired, genuinely curious.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VlFZhDky7
Hasan paused for a moment, contemplating his answer. "I usually spend my free time reading or researching medical articles."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY6xdshAEo
Shaheera grinned. "Ah, the dedicated doctor. I can picture you with your nose buried in books most of the time."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM5ClJ8hZI
Hasan chuckled softly. "You're not far off. But I wonder if I should take a break and explore other interests sometimes."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYC1OQJx72
The hint of vulnerability in his words made Shaheera's heart skip a beat. "You definitely should. Life's too short to be all work and no play," she encouraged warmly.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAPGS2PCgg
His gaze softened as he looked at her. "Perhaps you're right. Maybe I'll consider it."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j3ADR2qox
As the night progressed, Mark approached Shaheera, seeking her assistance once again. She excused herself and went to help Mark, leaving Hasan momentarily alone. He really started to see him like a menace. How in the world would he subtract her three times from his company. 566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI1KiSlXN8
Observing Hasan from afar, Rima, with a playful smile, approached him. "You seem quite taken with Shaheera, don't you?"566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOhCuHNHOF
Hasan's expression shifted, but he didn't deny it. "She's a remarkable woman."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXUdD9Alfy
Rima grinned. "Indeed, she is. And it's obvious that she has a soft spot for you too."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT8xcpf3AC
Hasan's eyes flickered with surprise. "You think so?"566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsACD2gbbX
Rima laughed softly. "Oh, come on. I see the way she looks at you. It's as if she sees something special in you."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCR1vkCnp1
The meal resumed its course, and Shaheera returned to sit beside Hasan. Their shoulders brushed, but neither of them moved for the first few seconds. A breath later, Hasan stood up to retrieve the water bottle from the center of the table and pour a glass for Shaheera, his expression as stoic and closed off as a securely locked door. As the atmosphere of the dinner took on a jovial and relaxed turn, Hasan's phone rang multiple times. He saw his mother's name on the screen and excused himself to take the call.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhzSQcQQzJ
"Salam-Aleikoum, Ommi. How are you?" he said in a light tone, his gaze still fixed on Shaheera's back, shaking with bursts of laughter. A smile formed on his face automatically, almost unconsciously.566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLEhhYp2sZ
"Wa-Aleikum-Salaam Oh Hasan, I've found a perfect young woman for you! You must meet her as soon as possible! When are you coming back? I've already contacted her mother, and she seems very interested."566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTWwJv7RFd
As his mother continued talking about this seemingly perfect young woman for him, Hasan's smile faded, and he was suddenly back to reality. He was going to get married. If this young woman was recommended by his mother, she must truly be the right one for him. Surely.
