2024-10-29 19:42:56The next day, Mr and Mrs Shah showed up at Sofia’s place again. This time around, she considered them by agreeing to take them to Liyana’s place.
At Liyana’s apartment, she and Ayaan were getting ready to go to the airport. 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 deadRelated chapters

“The stars, moon, and natural flowers are a witness that today, I promise to stick with you till the end. I will be yours till not even death can separate us,” Liyana vowed.“The stars, moon, and natural flowers are a witness that today, I promise to love you, care for you, and stick with you beyond forever. Nothing, not even death can separate us,” Ayaan completed the vow. ***Liyana was in love with her college mate, Ayaan, and her parents agreed to an arranged marriage with the worst person she ever knew, Rayan. Her fate lies in the vow taken with her lover. Can their love surpass the oppression faced by the family? Will their vow stick them together or be their doom?“Love is the most effective cure. In the crevices of disasters, happiness lies like a diamond in a mind, so let's instill in ourselves the wisdom of love.

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. It doesn’t matter though. As long as I am studying,

Liyana wouldn’t budge. She kept on rejecting Ayaan’s calls. She locked herself in her room, crying sadly. When her mother tried to find out what the problem was, Liyana said nothing, claiming she was okay. The worried mother reported Liyana’s moody state to her father and he promised to be home soonest. But before Liyana’s father arrived home, Liyana wore a new look. She freshened up, changed her clothes, and took out one of her books to read.“Where is she?” the father asked his wife once he was home. “She is in her room,” the mother replied and the parents both headed to Liyana’s room. The father creaked the door open and halted. Liyana was cheerfully reading her book. The father and mother exchanged confused glances. They looked back at Liyana. She seems not to even notice them as she was engrossed in her reading.“Liyana?” the father called. Liyana looked at them.“Salaam alaikum, Father,” Liyana saluted, putting down her book on the bed and

Liyana studied a bit late on campus one day. She was preparing for her forthcoming semester exams. As she was rushing out of the library to go home, Mr Smith was coming along. She halted. She looked around her and discovered she was the only one along the hallway with evil Mr Smith. As he noticed her, he grinned wickedly. Liyana decided to act boldly by pretending not to see him and walking past. As they were near to each other, he grabbed her wrist roughly and pushed her back against the wall.“Ow!” Liyana exclaimed in pain. Her heart banged heavily against her ribcage. “You think you can escape from me?” Mr Smith groaned, his hoarse voice slammed against Liyana’s skin, sending a warning shiver down her spine.“Let me go!” she struggled with him. He pinned her hands to the wall, standing a breath away and gazing at her.“You still haven’t made up for your failed test and now exams are on the way, how will you cope?” he mocked and grinned.

“Ahem… as I said earlier, anything for a sexy lady. I can help you if only you can meet my demand,” Mr Smith stated.“Spill it!” she said in a seductive whisper that sent lustful chills down Mr Smith’s spine.“My price is simple,” he said. “A night with you and you could own first class.”“Really?” Zoe sounded and stood up. She walked back to his front desk and faced him. “I came here fully ready. I have a reservation at Ambiance Boutique Art Hotel. Just your card is needed to get a call or we could just go together if you aren’t busy.”“Have my card, I will be right behind you,” he said and handed over his card to her. She collected it.“I’m heading there already. See you, boy,” she smiled and went out.“Whoa! This is a free blessing. My angel is on guard,” Mr Smith laughed, clearing his desk.Some minutes on, Zoe was at Ambiance Boutique Art Hotel.“Hello, welcome to ABA, how may I help you?” the beautiful chocolaty receptionist in a white and black uniform behind the counte

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

At Liyana’s parents' place, Rayan barged in without notification. He halted abruptly when he saw Liyana chatting happily with her mother. Their eyes turned in his direction.“Oh, Rayan, you are here. 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

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

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

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
