Love's Unforseen Twist

21

As Zakir and his mom excitedly chatted about their cousins coming over, Sarah couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation. She was thrilled to hear that all of her cousins were coming for Zakir's marriage. She was waiting for them and finally they were coming. Bursting with excitement, she rushed to her parents' room to share the news.

As she approached their room, she couldn't help but overhear their conversation about her marriage. The reality hit her hard, reminding her of her own future and the possibility of her own marriage. It was a heavy thought to bear.

Without saying a word, Sarah quietly slipped away from her parents' room, seeking solace in the tranquility of the garden. She found herself sitting on a bench, gazing up at the sky, overcome with a mix of emotions. The weight of unrequited love for Rehan, who didn't feel the same way, weighed heavily on her heart.

"Why does love has to be so complicated? I wish he knew how I felt," Sarah whispered to herself, her voice filled with longing.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about the unspoken feelings that burdened her soul. It was a bittersweet realization, but Sarah knew she had to accept the reality.

Kashan was on a call with his assistant when he noticed a familiar figure sitting on a bench in the garden. He looked at her with shock, her tear-streaked face conveying sadness and despair. Curiosity piqued, he felt compelled to ask what had happened and who had made her cry.

Sarah's heart skipped a beat as she felt someone's gaze upon her. She turned her head and was taken aback to see Kashan looking at her. She quickly wiped away her tears, feeling embarrassed and vulnerable. Without saying a word, she got up and started to walk away, wanting to escape the situation.

Kashan's heart sank as he watched Sarah hastily leave. He felt a pang of guilt, realizing that his presence may have made her uncomfortable. He scratched his head, feeling a mix of regret and confusion.
