Adyan's POV

I was beyond confused torn somewhere between excitement and absolute frustration. Just moments ago, I thought I'd gotten a green light from my crush. Or at least, I thought I had. All I wanted to do was call her, maybe hear her voice, maybe make things real. But no. Laila had to go and ruin everything.

Now, thanks to her meddling, I was stuck with a blind date setup with some spoiled, chatty girl who was probably more trouble than she was worth. And the cherry on top? Dad was on board with the whole thing. Which meant I was basically trapped with no way out.

My plan? Simple. I'd be polite, play the gentleman, and ask her nicely to bow out of this circus. Surely, she was as uninterested in me as I was in her. That would be the cleanest escape.

Meanwhile, Humaira's name still lingered on my tongue like a forbidden word. I hadn't even called her yet, and now, with all this drama, I was more hesitant than ever. What was I even supposed to say? Hi, my little sister just sabotaged my love life, but hey, how are you?

In moments like these, I missed Afdal my best friend, my brother in everything. He would've known exactly what to say, exactly what to do.

I stepped out of the shower, towel-drying my hair, only to find Khairiya lounging in my room with a creepy little grin plastered on her face.
