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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz0BY9FvVd
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyyhtWWHbt
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz9SwJEAKp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUAc7LgRKz
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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMHRqSnQFN
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn3fTh44ga
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?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Bwotx2FB
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY6z6iwwlC
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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTDx6fdFSu
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXnDKwPMR5
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgs8BOmn9A
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuceM99Bv4
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhfx7iKrT8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdKszVg7gb
“Be careful!” Jasra shouted from the window. “And come back with real chocolate! I can deal with the one they sell here.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3sZEIhyh6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwLd2nUN9R
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr4EM8QKuY
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH6uoqL3rN
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NI2CFeqPQ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj2ZqGMGOF
“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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9jchIncv
“Well, I’m going to the conference. The same one you invited me.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0UTlxcAjf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2pbplGb8D
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?”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cqblm4TIA
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rG703uPx1
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhXgb8t4UC
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwib9ZSiBm
"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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFRnHlGpA2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyHZD6IK4j
"It was the cheapest," Rima chimed in with a playful wink.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z8ehQUblp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EsSQfQsFl
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mH9ztCKkT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vjM8P4ZVb
“Scared of planes?” she asked in a low voice, leaning in the aisle.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDskUZWyQH
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkGey5d8yu
“You’re not?” he answered his eyes still closed, head back.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklveAbj4Do
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICcuABE11m
“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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6mh0F41bG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyo5Td1zV4
"Just a short flight, huh?" Hasan said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I guess you're right. I've flown many times before."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6EBlp25Bt
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ0zd9Kpqj
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcrIiIsWdp
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe81GKIi9vV
“Just … Talk to me? If you don’t mind?” he asked shyly. She had never seen him so vulnerable.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LY64sTSdI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg6ECeCBqs
"So, have you ever been to France before?" Shaheera asked, hoping to steer the conversation to a more pleasant topic.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwdhsP3cfX
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryJ6oU3biq
"No, this will be my first time," Hasan replied, his voice a bit tense. "I'm looking forward to exploring a new country, though."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4E8YTbAvG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvGf4uWXt8
"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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCxRZiPiFC
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigqwkIYoeT
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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzklsZYZOmq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tnyrRqjaJ
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6SEh8KRDV
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25d8gs6wz5
"You know, Hasan, I heard that airplanes are statistically safer than cars. So, technically, we're in good hands!" Shaheera said with a smirk.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXjYTeA2EC
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD51GDBxGIX
Hasan couldn't help but chuckle, "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to trust in the statistics."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMRZ43WaL2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXap60JIqF
"That's the spirit!" Shaheera exclaimed, giving him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoDcflA9Wu
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYW2xErsyO
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUt6Zmo1KB
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTvewh5YYO
"By the time we land, you'll forget all about your fear of flying," Shaheera said confidently, giving him a wink.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN0Uuj1ii0
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0lu4Yj2gP
Hasan smiled genuinely, "I have to admit, you're quite the distraction. Thanks for keeping me company."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowu2Jyp88q
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0oO59vDOG
"It's my pleasure," Shaheera replied warmly. "We're in this together, and I won't let you feel anxious alone."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsW4FDmL4N
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0y4ASzURH
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd2ewUZN6y
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKcT14Zzvo
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gMReUPKLy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ20IBfXVaP
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xVdHsukFc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqtDEi3pCN
"Look outside, Hasan. The sunset is breathtaking," she said, pointing to the window.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyJlDhujL9
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbK75Q4uJ1
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxbdU4QcdM
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0v4DHFQbM
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGd65A29j5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGB8NkL13Q
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYQN7ZKOyY
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpDJKZ1lfd
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH9VaD2JNF
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyO4XuSmwe
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypFsTfI726
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4TFriiQTA
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY80J5Wu0i
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMGxoOYySh
“So,” he finally said out loud after long minutes of silence, “You and Shaheera are …” he waited for one of them to finish.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1piZDyTwEi
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL6YWdj6eB
“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.”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws0MboCKLm
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8NyU36OOV
“But you wish!” Interrupted Thomas.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgyHrv5qhL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjmt2kFeLi
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uaqVdIexI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUC0isGmQM
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVoTKvDemD
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtaSVVSNY2
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS6NMON7o9
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8OsIWd8Lg
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVDb1deR9W

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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeb2tzeItJ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzq2O1291R
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrfsbSUR38
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid9p2G4Pd3
"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!"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIT3JTHei7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQcXoWji6u
The receptionist glanced at her briefly before returning to whatever he was doing, seemingly uninterested.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyfGTmWSk2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH78wCEKOv
Hasan, who had been roaming restlessly outside the hotel lobby, unable to find sleep, noticed Shaheera at the reception desk, fervently discussing the situation.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AU1Pv8fMQ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnTGvOEBYe
"What is she doing here at this hour?" Hasan wondered.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEt0nXbsyY
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5YUTDMuql
As he was about to step in and offer his help, Mark appeared out of nowhere and offered his assistance to Shaheera.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsWCnGjGnf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGucX4tV0Y
"Hey, need a hand with something? I can help," Mark said with a cheerful smile.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ78NjHDbEg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAtdGQAlyI
Shaheera looked thankful but declined politely, "Thank you, Mark, but it's okay. You should get some rest. I'll manage."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkf39rlc0k
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzrTFyLxK8
Mark insisted playfully, "You sure? I'm here if you need anything."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxqlxoJwSf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gg6dZjikO
"I appreciate it, but really, you should go and rest. I'll handle this," Shaheera assured him with a bitter smile.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0nfUsqO6r
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvj1pUOvrn
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgTbb9nQ5O
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbQglgkucs
"Hey, Shaheera, do you need any help?" Hasan asked softly.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqPOCoeiH1
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkbj9iV3Zj
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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccc1E5wNXq
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDOhIQUL2o
Hasan chuckled, "Really? No one's ever told me that I have good timing before."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54FqwqVZHx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEsijXUnrQ
"Well, I'm telling you now. You have perfect timing!" Shaheera said with a teasing glint in her eyes.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuehXurIyD
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nf5CcWUJs
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD2l5H2Gml
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHQj5XFCW7
"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."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoRK7FdWzV
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWJpvbWtvg
Hasan listened attentively, realizing that Shaheera was opening up about her past.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PvJRUOv3R
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz7rIIOrwq
"Why did you choose Canada?" Hasan inquired with genuine curiosity.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIGcEk7qT9
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1COVY5oIuB
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2shrlP0Ee
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxVbiK8sT6
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9pwDrWQEm
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjaNO7TAIJ
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6TLOjypLV
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9yZpkBapv
"Really? I bet it's an incredible place. You should consider traveling sometimes," Shaheera suggested warmly.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72C5FYhi9j
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNro6LrRqK
"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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKk4cteyil

“It’s fine”515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpjURVl75J

“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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9l1zF0xD
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgt7NEdo40
“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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp3FmZ8mtE

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB2Ae5U1cW
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.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBloOg23vP

They shared a handfull of minutes and separated ways, wishing each other goodnight.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJdQJfi9Ta

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.
