"What? Now?" Zada asked in worry."Yes. Now. You need to come with me, Ada. You are my best friend. You have to come with me," Emma begged, making puppy eyes."Okay. I will come with you. But what's wrong? You look perfectly okay to me." Zada said, giving Emma a once over."But I am not," Emma said, making a crying face.Emma had just gotten off a video call with her mother in the morning. Much to her fury, little Mila was also there. Zada didn't hear their conversation, she had left Emma to talk and went to eat breakfast. Now, Emma has barged into her room and is begging her to accompany Emma to the hospital, for God knows why!The whole way to the hospital, Emma was cursing Mila with all the colourful words she knew. By now they have all gotten used to Emma's rants about little Mila."Okay. We are here." Zada said, as they both stepped out of the cab in front of a multi-speciality hospital. They both walked towards the reception desk."Hello, how can I help you?" The receptionist

Emily walked into the campus looking for her brother.She took her phone and dialled Emil’s number. He picked upon the third ring.“Yes, Em. I will be out in five minutes. Emma looked so depressed. Let me go and talk to her once” Emil said anxiously.“What happened to her? I will also come.” Emily said, equally anxious.“Okay then. Come to the same cafeteria.” Emil said and hung up the call.Emily hurried toward the cafeteria and just when she was about to enter, she collided with someone. Before she could touch the ground, an arm snaked around her waist and pulled her close.She opened her eyes and saw that she was in the arms of none other than her arch nemesis, Zahir Ahmed al Zidra.“Aww. Wanted to be in my arms? How sweet?” Zahir asked, with a playful smirk on his face.“Dream on bad boy,” Emily said, with a scoff.“Ah! Why would I waste my dreams on you, sweetheart, when there are so many gorgeous ladies flocking around me?” Zahir asked arrogantly.“Yeah, flocking around you to b

Emma and Emily looked around the new 3 BHK apartment. Emma and Zada had been planning to move from the hostel to an apartment for a while and Emily’s arrival fuelled it.Emily took initiative in property hunting, and she herself liaised with real estate agents and short listed three apartments out of all. Since morning, the three of them have been visiting the apartments to finalise the place. This was the last apartment and Emily and Emma instantly loved it.But Zada looked completely zoned out. She was like that since morning.“Okay, out with it..” Emily demanded, as she came and stood in front of Zada, with her arms folded across her chest.“Uh?” Zada was startled out of her depressing thoughts with Emily’s words.“Where are you, Zada? You have been completely away since morning. I am sure you noticed nothing about the other two apartments we visited today. Neither did you notice anything about the apartment we are standing in right now. What’s wrong?” Emily asked impatiently.“I a

It was the long weekend coming and Emma invited the whole lot to accompany her to her hometown, Greenwich.It was just a one hour drive from their university and Zian came up with the plan of renting a seven seater car, so that they could all go together and comfortably.“Why don’t we buy a new car? Why do we have to rent one?” Zahir asked, as he lounged in the cafeteria with the rest of the gang. Liam was missing, much to Zada’s disappointment.“Zahir, you wouldn’t be seen driving anything other than sports bikes or cars. Else you would be seen going on a four wheel off road. Then why should we buy a seven seater for a one time use?” Zian asked, glaring at his brother.“Come on, brother. We are royalty. Renting a car seems so…” Zahir trailed off as he made a face at Zian’s suggestion.“What a snob!” Emily muttered, loud enough for Zahir to hear.Zahir shot Emily a mock offended look. "A snob? Me? I will have you know that I am just particular about my mode of transportation. After a

The whole squad had gathered near the university main ground early in the morning. They were starting by seven in the morning and it was just an hour drive from here to Greenwich and another twenty minutes to reach Emma’s house.“So, what are we waiting for? Shall we start?” Emma asked excitedly. She was thrilled about taking her friends to her home. She had texted her parents a list of items that should be prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner while they were there.“Liam will reach now. He is on his way.” Zian said and Zada’s face brightened up at that.“Liam is coming? He said he had some other engagement, right?” Emil asked in confusion.“He changed his mind it seems. He called me a while ago and told me that he would be joining us after all.” Zian said and Zada was too happy at that news.The last few days, Liam had stayed out of her sight, never attending her phone calls. It had driven her mad.Zahir stared at Zada’s bright smile suspiciously. All his protective brother anten

An hour and a half later, they stopped the car in front of a beautiful cottage style house in the quieter part of Greenwich.The white picket fence surrounding the cottage almost gave it a fairytale look.Daniel Hart stepped out of the house with a wide smile on his face. “Gianna, they are here.” He called out loudly, looking back into the house.Emma barrelled towards her father and hugged him tightly in glee.“Papa… I am home..” Emma said, beaming.Gianna came out of the house and smiled at Emma’s friends.“How was the journey, kids?” Gianna asked fondly.“It was fun, Mrs Hart. It was the first time we all were going on a trip. Though it was short, we thoroughly enjoyed the ride.” Zian said with a smile.“Oh, please call me Gianna..” She said with a chuckle and turned to Emma.She frowned looking at Emma.“Emma, didn’t you take a shower today?” Gianna asked, her lips thinning in annoyance.Emma shot an angry look at her ‘evil step momma’.“I took a shower just before bed last night

Emma’s cheeks were in a permanent state of being puffed up, since Mila came. It was so very clear that Emma was annoyed."Hey, look who's here!" Gianna exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as Mila entered the room."Ugh, it's the little monster," Emma muttered under her breath, though her annoyance was met with amused glances from her friends.Mila was like a shadow behind Gianna, following her around, asking cute questions, making Gianna smile from time to time.No wonder Emma is jealous. Ever since they reached, Gianna has only been a typical strict mom. Zian felt a bit of anger towards Gianna for making Emma feel she isn’t enough.Admittedly, Daniel Hart has spoiled his little girl rotten and Gianna only seems to compensate for that by being a bit strict, but Emma isn’t mature enough to understand that.To those listening, Emma’s jealousy only seems funny, but Zian could clearly see the deep insecurity behind it.Mila, however, seemed unfazed by Emma's irritation. She marched over to th

“Maybe it's time we have a man to man talk, hmm?” Daniel asked, appearing out of nowhere.“Uh oh!” Daniel stepped out into the backyard of the house through the kitchen door and Zian followed suit.Zian looked around the place and the artistic gene in him ached to etch the place on a canvas.“So?” Daniel raised an eyebrow, as he folded his arm across his chest and stared at Zian square in the eyes.Zian shot a hesitant smile.“Nice house..” Zian said, with an awkward chuckle.“Thanks for the compliment. Now can we get to the point? Don’t try to pretend that you don’t understand what I am talking about.” Daniel said sternly and Zian nodded his head.“I will never do that, Sir. I know you are suspicious about my intentions with your daughter. I totally understand. My father would be the same if someone had their eyes on either of his precious daughters.” Zian said politely.“Emma is naive. Too naive to understand the workings of the world. She will not be able to tolerate a heartbreak.

Though Zian and Emma were recently married, they had fallen into a comfortable rhythm together, their lives woven in a way that complemented each other. Zian now led the Ahmed family’s business side with his characteristic calm and precision, steering it toward expansion with a confident hand. Meanwhile, Emma had tried her hand at a few things, but as Zian often teased, she had the attention span of a toddler. Her parents, relieved that she’d at least completed her education, had stopped expecting her to settle into any traditional career.Knowing her gifts lay elsewhere, Zian suggested she join the Ahmeds’ charity organisation. Rather than dealing with finances or administrative work, he assigned her something more hands-on. Three days a week, Emma visited palliative care homes and orphanages, spending her time cheering up the residents with her infectious charm and boundless stories. Zian knew she could lift anyone’s spirits with her words, and she eagerly embraced the chance to

One month later, the sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the campus as the group gathered on the sprawling lawn. The last month had been an unforgettable journey, filled with laughter, embarrassment, bonding, and countless challenges. But tonight, they had all agreed, was for celebration—a proper farewell to the antics that had drawn them all closer.Liam, of course, had been the master of ceremonies for this whole ordeal, and he looked especially smug as he watched Zahir and Zian reluctantly serve drinks, their expressions caught somewhere between exasperation and amusement.“You know, I think I am going to miss this,” Liam said, taking a glass from Zahir and winking. “Seeing you two bow down to me—it’s been... enlightening.”“Trust me,” Zahir shot back with a grin, “you have enjoyed this way more than anybody did. But don’t get too used to it, Liam. As soon as today ends, we are going back to normal.”“Oh, really?” Liam laughed, leaning back in his chair. “I d

“I am not a bloody playboy…” Zahir screamed at the end of his wits, leaving everyone in the room other than Zian, Zada and Izzy shocked by his declaration.“What???” It was Liam’s voice that rang out more loudly. Zada gave him an elbow jab asking him to shut up.“Listen, Emily. I am not a playboy. I have never been one. The only girl in my life is you. When I was five, it was only you. And now when I am twenty, it is only you.” Zahir said, looking earnestly into Emily’s eyes.She looked at him suspiciously.“Stop lying.” Emil said coldly.“He is not lying, Emil.” It was Izzy who spoke. “What?”“He is not a playboy. He is plain stupid. He has this dumb belief that if he has this playboy image, it would make him more popular. He is only dumb, not a playboy.” Izzy said and Zahir glared at her.“What? I am only telling the truth. Who would do such stupidities like you do?” Izzy asked with a shrug.“What makes you so sure?” Emil challenged and Izzy smiled.“Remember the truth or dare game

Silence filled Emily’s room as she lay curled up in Zahir’s arms, savouring the warmth and closeness between them. They had finally let their walls down and the silence that hung between them now felt intimate, peaceful."If you say that this doesn't mean a thing..." Zahir trailed off, his voice a low, warning murmur as he brushed a hand through her hair, his eyes locked onto hers.Emily laughed softly, resting her head on his chest. "You are mine, Emily Langston," he whispered possessively."And you are mine, Zahir Ahmed," She whispered back, equally possessive.Zahir smirked, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes. He loved how she was never intimidated by him, always ready to challenge him, push back, stand toe-to-toe. They lay there for a moment, wrapped up in each other, enjoying a rare, unguarded moment. But suddenly, the sound of the front door opening and footsteps approaching the living room startled them out of their reverie.Emily quickly pulled the blanket up, her eyes wide

The months seemed to fly by, drawing Zada and Liam, Zian and Emma, and Izzy and Emil closer together. Each of their love stories blossomed, surrounded by the easy warmth and laughter of new romance and friendship. But for Zahir and Emily, it was a different story. Their undeniable attraction was as strong as ever, but neither would admit to the feelings simmering beneath. Yet, every chance they got, they would find themselves in each other's arms, their moments of intimacy full of tension and passion. And each time, they would pull away, murmuring the same words: ‘It doesn’t mean anything.’One evening, they were at the apartment the girls share after a gettogether. The others had left in couples, for some ‘couple time’, leaving Emily and Zahir alone. The air was thick with an unspoken tension, an electric charge that always seemed to grow whenever they were alone."Are you seriously going to that party with that guy?" Zahir asked abruptly, his voice laced with irritation. Emily shot

“By the way, Mr Ahmed, what shampoo and conditioner do you use?” Madison asked, looking admiringly at Zayed’s slightly long hair.“MOM!” Liam exclaimed in shock. He turned to his mom with pleading eyes.“What? I just wanted to know..” Madison said innocently. “Please keep a control on your tongue, mom. Don’t scare them away on the very first day.” Liam whispered to his mother in a pleading tone, earning a glare in return.“LIAM FREDRICK! How could you say that to your Momma? The momma who carried you inside her womb for nine months? The momma who changed your dirty diapers when you were a kid? The momma who kissed your boo boo’s away?” Madison asked, hands on her hips. She was fired up.Liam closed his eyes in disbelief. They were supposed to impress the Ahmeds. Not scare them off.Zayed and Salim exchanged a glance.“How the hell did we land here? Now there would be nothing stopping Cami and Ava. This woman seems just like them. They are going to get on like a house on fire.” Salim

The air was buzzing with anticipation as Liam paced the living room, stealing quick glances toward the front windows. The Ahmed family would be arriving soon, and he could already feel his nerves bubbling up. Outside, Madison Fredrick was bustling around the backyard, setting up for the barbecue. With her usual over-the-top excitement, she darted from one setup station to another, adjusting tables and setting out colourful plates.Madison, practically glowing with enthusiasm, called out, “Liam! Have you checked if the Ahmeds have landed yet? Oh, this is so exciting! Imagine having all of them over here!”“Yes, Mom, they landed just a bit ago. Zada, Zahir, and Zian went to pick them up and they have a stop by to freshen up after the long journey.” Liam chuckled at his mom’s energy. “Perfect!” Madison clapped her hands, her gaze already scanning the backyard. “We have the best setup! Michael is handling the grill, Chloe’s setting up the drinks station, and I have already got everyone
