Faizan sat opposite Hafeeza in a restaurant. They both had a glass of non-alcoholic wine in their front.
“So, what do you plan to do now?” Faizan asked.“Hmm. Well, I will continue working as a doctor at Clifton General Hospital while also taking care of Father,” Hafeeza replied.“That’s great. About your mother, how is she now? Are people there to take care of her?”“Come on, Faizan, you don’t know my mother yet, she is a very strong woman. A retired sergeant. She refused to have a housekeeper, she can take care of herself. But I will be checking up on her a few times a month,” Hafeeza stated and smiled. She sipped her drink.“That’s great,” Faizan smiled and sipped his drink too. “Do you have a boyfriend?” Faizan queried and Hafeeza almost poured out the drink in her mouth. “Sorry.”“No, it’s fine,” she commented and sighed. “Well, I was once in a relationship in Lahore. I thought he was the all-perfect man for me. I loved himBab terkait

Welcome,” the mother greeted.Rayan shuffled inside. “Greetings, Aunt. Sorry for the way I barged in. I was in search of Liyana,” he apologized.“Was she missing?” the mother asked.“I missed my mom, Rayan, and you wanted to keep me all to yourself. You know what, Mom? Rayan is such a funny lover boy, he wants me by his side always. I had to escape to come see you till we get married,” Liyana acted along. Rayan was surprised. The mother laughed.“Um, I’m sorry, Aunt, I just love her so much,” Rayan declared. Liyana’s stomach twisted upon hearing that. Does he even know the meaning of love?“I understand you two and it’s fine,” the mother laughed.“You can go back home now, I will be fine with my mom and dad,” Liyana set fort

Rayan and his men stormed into Ayaan’s house. They searched every nook and cranny of the house but found no one. From Ayaan’s place, they stormed into Sofia’s house. Sofia’s mother was in the living room. She shook with fear upon seeing the armed men. She jerked up, cowering back from them.“Where is your daughter? “ Rayan growled.“What do you want from her?” the mother queried with her heart heavily banging her chest.“Why are you here, Rayan?” Sofia queried, descending downstairs.“There you are. Where is Liyana?” Rayan demanded. “She disappeared into my body. Can’t you see her through me?” Sofia mocked.“Tell me where she is or your mother goes down for it,” Rayan threatened, seizing the mother.“Argh!” the mother exclaimed in fear. Sofia held her mother’s other hand, and shot her leg forward, landing on Rayan’s stomach and pushing him back. He staggered back, hitting one of his men, falling him and anothe

Liyana pulled out their suitcases to the living room. As she sat to wear her shoes, a knock came at the door.“Sofia is around now?” she remarked to herself then stood up to go get the door. Upon opening the door, Liyana shuddered in fear as she was faced with Rayan and his men. As she tried to shut the door at them, Rayan pushed open the door and they stormed in.“What do you want here?” she queried fearfully.“You can’t ever run away from me, Liyana,” Rayan groaned. Just then, Ayaan came along. Rayan seized Liyana roughly by her arm.“Ouch!” she exclaimed.“Let her go!” Ayaan ordered and Rayan pointed his gun at Liyana’s head. Her heart pounded heavier. She swallowed hard.“One more step, she’s dead

Later on, Ayaan was with his coursemate, Faizan, chatting. Faizan was a simple blithe fellow. He Wasn’t as handsome as Ayaan, yet charming. “Were you able to finish the novel?” Faizan asked, tugging down the edge of his trousers.“Sure I did. I had started to read the novel for days now,” Ayaan replied, scrolling through his phone.“Have you read the “Wandering Falcon” too?” Faizan asked, sitting up and looking at Ayaan.“Not yet, it’s my next target though.”At that moment, Liyana came along angrily.“I hate you so much, Ayaan,” she blustered, pointing an angry finger at Ayaan. Ayaan looked at Faizan, their eyes met then they stared at Liyana in confusion. “You are super irritating, egocentric, selfish, self-centered, and a freaking maniac. Argh...!” she groaned.“Hey, you watch it, what’s your problem?” Faizan rebuked.Liyana cast a -don’t-interfere-in-my-business look at Faizan then glared back at Ayaan. Ayaan didn’t utter a word, he shook his head and focused on his phone

Liyana was left to follow where her legs took her, beside Ayaan. She could utter nothing. Ayaan collected her written purchase list and did the shopping while she followed him up like a deaf mute. When they were done shopping, he led her back to the road, beside his power bike.“Lead the way to your home, okay? I will take you,” he offered. Liyana could still say nothing. She only continued watching him act like a no-talking programmed robot. Ayaan sat astride on his bike. Liyana straddled behind him. “Hold me, okay?” he told her. Her heart skipped a beat. He started the bike and she hesitantly wrapped her arms around his abdomen. She closed her eyes with a deep short breath and relaxed. She opened her eyes and he rode off. Upon reaching Liyana’s house, she alighted from the bike.“Huh…!” she puffed like a punctured tire. Ayaan handed her basket to her and set to leave.“Hold on,” she finally spoke out, lifting her hand as a hint. “Don’t you hate me too?” she queried, dropping her

Men were chattering in a dark room with only flickers of colorful lights, ladies stood behind each opponent, encouraging them with a gentle massage on the shoulder as they concentrated on the cards, gambling.“You shouldn’t have risked your pounds for this,” one of the opponents stated. He had a stick of marijuana in his mouth.“You shouldn’t look down on your opponent, that might be your end,” the other man said, shuffling his cards. “Whoa! Who else is watching?!” he exclaimed as he flung the cards on the table. He just won.At the entrance, Rayan entered with two of his bodyguards. “Welcome, sir,” the other guards on duty in the casino welcomed him. He walked past them with just a wave of his hand.“Hey, people!” Rayan exclaimed, and all eyes turned to him.“Look who we have here,” another man from the casino said, walking to Rayan with open arms. He did a bro-hug with Rayan and they walked around.“I haven’t been seeing you in the game,” Rayan said, taking a shot of a cocktail from

In college, Liyana sat with Ayaan in the campus hall, chatting.“That lecturer must be funny for that,” Liyana laughed.“If you say he is funny, then he is,” Ayaan smiled. “Can you tell me about yourself?” he asked, staring into her beautiful eyes.“What more do you want to know about me? You already know my name, right?” she said, staring back into his eyes.“I want to know more if you don’t mind.”“Hmm! Well, it happened that my name is the only special gift I got so far. Liyana Shah, isn’t that awesome?” she stated cheerfully and they both laughed. “To get serious, ahem, I’m the first and last child of my parents. That’s somehow cool and bitter though,” she chuckled. “My favorite color is pink. I like other light colors too, but pink is my favorite. Uh, my father is a Muslim Pakistani while my mother is an Indian Punjabi. I’m stuck between parents of different religions. My father works as a personal driver to one Mr Asad Khawaja.
