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.

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.

We want to shop more for the wedding,” she added. “That’s good. You need some money?” Mr Asad asked, walking and sitting on the bed.“Don’t worry, honey, the bill on me. My son’s wedding is going to be the talk of the town and Pakistan as a whole,” she stated blissfully.“The wedding is all yours for the preparation. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you need some money,” he said.“Sure, how do I look?” she asked, standing up. She was elegantly dressed in her purple beaded saree. Her golden pieces of jewelry g
Two days later. In Liyana’s room, she sat down on the bed, putting down her phone and about pulling the duvet up to her shoulders when the door to her room creaked open. She looked at the door and her father walked in.“Good evening, Dad,” she saluted, sitting back up.“Good evening, dear,” the father responded, moving closer to the bed. “Why didn’t you come out for dinner?”“I had gone out with Ayaan, Dad. We had dinner at a restaurant,” she said.“Liyana, dear, you have to stop seeing Ayaan, okay? You are now the would-be wife of Rayan. Do you understand?” “The logic is too complicated, Dad. You shouldn’t expect me to understand,” Liyana declared, relaxing back on the bed.“I know you are very stubborn. You never listen. That’s by the way, I want us to go somewhere tomorrow,” the father set forth.“Mmm! Where Dad?” she asked.“Um, one of the Khawaja business clients invited me to a business party at his place
On the night after Liyana’s father returned home, Liyana went to meet her father and mother in the living room. She took a seat opposite them.“Mom, Dad, I want us to talk,” Liyana said.“About what, dear?” the father asked.“I want to plead with you and Mom to tell the Khawaja family the truth,” Liyana stated.“What truth, Liyana?” the mother interjected.“The truth is that I can’t ever marry Rayan,” she declared and the parents adjusted on their seats.“Why can’t you marry Rayan? What has the young man done to you?” the father queried, calm and collected.“Rayan is a crazy fellow, Dad. He doesn’t respect women. He is into drug intake. He is a Casanova and a hostile brute, he doesn’t possess a heart and I can’t live with such a man. Besides, I am in love with Ayaan and I want to marry him. Only,” she stated.“You have lost your mind, Liyana,” the mother groaned. “Even if you’re blind to see the changes we are experiencing in this family, are you also deaf? I know you came up with thi
At Ayaan’s place, he was seated in the living room, going through a book when Liyana came along. She sat down with him.“Let’s go out, Ayaan,” Liyana said.“Where are we going?” Ayaan asked, turning to face her.“To the garden, the place we vowed not to be separated forever,” she commented.“Do you think it will help me remember?” he queried. She rolled her eyes and sighed.“I’m not sure. Do you know I once claimed to hate you?” she asked and he raised his brow at her. She entwined her hand in his. “It wasn’t real but I wanted to force it. I never knew I was in love with you, that was why I was scared of the feelings that arise when I come across you. Like seriously, I couldn’t control it then I have to claim I hate you to shrink that feeling,” she confessed and chuckled. “Then when you helped me in the market, I realized I shouldn’t fight the feelings anymore, I exposed my heart and allowed the feelings to flow. From that moment, I promised myself to stick with you no matter what bec
In the morning, Liyana was sleeping beautifully on Ayaan’s bed when he came along. He stood at the door, looking at her. He moved closer and sat down on a chair close to the bed. He leaned closer, having a clearer view of her face. She looked innocent. He lifted his hand and pulled back her hair from her face.“How could I have forgotten you, Liyana? How can an accident make me forget you?” Ayaan thought to himself. “Even in my present condition, you have stolen my heart. Now it doesn’t matter if I remember my past or not, I still love you. Thanks for coming for me,” Ayaan expressed in his thought. He kissed her forehead. Liyana opened her eyes and Ayaan sat up, looking guilty.“Ayaan?” Liyana called and sat up on the bed. “What are you doing?” she asked and yawned.“I’m sorry, I got carried away,” he apologized.“What did you do?” she asked.“I…I didn’t mean to do it. I just… I…” Ayaan stuttered.“Come on, Ayaan, are you scared
