Colliding Hearts

𝟏. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

As morning's warmth awakened the world, sunrays caressed the ground, and the clock struck eight. The day's canvas stretched out before each individual, some eager to chase their dreams, while others basked in the serenity of their already-fulfilled lives.

In a tranquil corner, a beautiful girl sat with devotion, her prayer mat a sacred space. Her hands reached upwards, imploring her Lord, as her electric blue eyes, like sapphires shining bright, squeezed shut, releasing tears. Her long lashes, like silken threads, thickened with each droplet, as her heart poured out its deepest emotions.

Her peaceful solitude was a testament to the beauty of faith, a moment of connection with the divine, as the world outside stirred to life. In this fleeting instant, time stood still, and all that existed was the gentle rustle of her whispers, the soft fall of her tears, and the warmth of the sun's gentle caress.

Lost in the depths of her devotion, she remained oblivious to the presence of another, her soul communing with the divine. Time stood still as she poured her heart out, her prayers a gentle whisper, her tears a testament to her sincerity.

Five minutes ticked by, and she slowly rose, her movements fluid, her eyes still closed. With reverent hands, she folded the prayer mat, the soft rustle of the fabric a gentle echo of her devotion. A stifled sigh escaped her lips, a whispered surrender to the exhaustion that threatened to consume her. Her eyes finally opened, like petals unfolding, revealing the depths of her soul, still shimmering with the tears of her prayer.

❝ Deena,❞ The voice echoed, shattering the serenity of her reverie. Her gaze lifted, drawn to the familiar pair of amber eyes that seemed to hold a warmth she couldn't quite ignore. Eyes that had once captivated her, now filled her with a mix of emotions - resentment, anger, and a hint of longing. Though she despised him with every fiber of her being, her heart still betrayed her, skipping a beat at the sight of him. It was as if her heart refused to let go of the memories, the love they once shared, and the pain he had left her with. His eyes, like warm honey, still held the power to melt her resolve, to awaken the emotions she thought she had long buried.

❝ It's Adeena Siddiqui for you, Mr. Zahab ❞ She spat, her voice a low, venomous growl, as anger seethed from every pore. Her eyes blazed with fury, like embers ignited, as she glared at him with an intensity that could scorch the air. Yet, despite her fiery demeanor, the man's gaze remained gentle, his eyes soft with a love that seemed to hold no bounds. His expression, a mask of serenity, concealed the anguish that ravaged his heart, the pain of lost love, and the longing that still lingered. His eyes, like a calm sea, hid the turmoil beneath, as he beheld the woman who had once been his everything, now a stranger, consumed by hatred and resentment.

❝ Oh, Jaan, you forgot, it's Deena for me? ❞ Zahab's voice was low and husky, his amber eyes gleaming with a warmth that seemed to caress her very soul. His gaze devoured her, drinking in the beauty of her electric blue eyes, the windows to her heart, which he knew held a special place for him. Zahab Abdullah Shah, the CEO of Shah's Group of Industries, a titan of the business world, and a billionaire with a reputation for ruthless precision. His sharp mind and calculating gaze could intimidate even the bravest of souls, bending them to his will.

Yet, in Adeena's presence, his demeanor softened, his eyes betraying a vulnerability he reserved only for her. The air seemed to vibrate with tension as he spoke, his voice a gentle reminder of the intimacy they once shared.

But his heart, a fortress of steel, betrayed its defenses when his amber eyes encountered the breathtaking beauty of Adeena Hussain Siddiqui. In that fleeting instant, his pulse raced to a different cadence, as if the very rhythm of his existence had been rewritten.

The moment their gazes met, his heart surrendered to the whims of fate, skipping a beat in reverence to the woman who would become his Jaan, his soulmate. Time stood still as their eyes locked, the universe conspiring to bring together two souls destined to be entwined. In Adeena's presence, Zahab's formidable facade crumbled, revealing a vulnerability he had never known before, a vulnerability that would forever change the course of his life.
