Samaira and Zain
They have been neighbours since childhood. There were some ingrown feelings, but both dissmissed those thinking of them as mere crushes.
But what will happen when they grow up? Will they still have feelings for each other? Or will...

After coming downstairs, all clicked pictures and Afsana gushed over how beautiful Samaira looked. Hannan and Hamid blessed her saying that they were proud of her. And Iqra and Omar wished her luck. Though it was around Fajr time in New Zealand, they had video called them and Farida had even shed a few tears.
The ceremony began and soon Samaira's name was called. Hannan was recording with a proud smile, Iqra had video called Sahil and Omar was cheering from the audience seat.
After everyone got their degrees, their was an after party. Samaira had again called back at New Zealand and talked to everyone, with the Khans also. Each and everyone was really happy and proud of her. Zara and Farida were in tears.
Zain did congratulate her with a genuine smile, but at the same time was also kind of in awe because of how beautiful she looked. He was really proud of her.
At the party, the students families got to know each other. Samaira introduced Hannan to Safia and Anika and their parents. There were also some of the aunties and uncles from the desi muslim community, with whom Afsana and Hamid introduced Hannan.
"Alhamdulillah! Finally it's done! We're graduates!!", Safia cheered and hugged Anika and Samaira.
"Alhamdulillah", both replied.
"So, what about the plans ahead?", Safia asked Samaira.
"Whatever it is, it'll be in NewZealand InShaAllah," Samaira shrugged.
"Aww! Can't wait to go back home?", Anika asked.
"No!" Samaira replied immediately.
"Aahhh! We're gonna miss you!", Safia again hugged Samaira.
"I'm gonna miss you guys so much too! But you can always come and visit!", Samaira suggested.
"We'll see about that!", Anika said defeatedly.
"You know what guys? I gave her the perfect idea to make us all visit her in New Zealand!", Omar and Iqra joined them.
"What?", the both girls asked.
Samaira rolled her eyes at him but he continued anyway,
"She should get married! Obviously she'll invite us all and imagine how much fun we'll have!", Anika giggled but Safia's face lit up,
"Good idea! Wow Omar! You're a genius! And you're crush is still your neighbour, right? Everything's sorted then!", she clapped in happiness.
Samaira's eyes widened, "YA ALLAH GUYS! STOP! Not you too Safia! Let's go have food, I'm hungry," she decided to change the subject.
"Bu-"
"NO! None of your imaginative planning is getting real! Let's go!", Safia was about to speak, but she dragged them to lunch.
