“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 placeRelated chapters

At the Khawaja’s mansion, Mrs Khawaja sat in her room in front of the vanity table, applying her cosmetic when Mr Asad came along from outside.“Are you going to Rayan’s housewarming party?” Mr Asad asked, standing behind her.“That should be called a singles party, Asad,” Mrs Khawaja smiled, looking at him through the mirror. “Rayan doesn’t want parents at his party,” she said. “I will be going shopping with Jasveen today. 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

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 him

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

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

“The stars, moon, and natural flowers are a witness that today, I promise to stick with you till the end.

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

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
