After a few days in one of their casual yet genuine conversations, Zainab remarks, "Ayaan, you seem different these days. What's going on?"

Ayaan, grappling with his own conflicting feelings, replies, "I don't know, Zainab. Something has changed, and I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's the unpredictability of life."

Zainab, sensing the sincerity in his words, smiles, "Change can be good, Ayaan. Embrace it."

As Ayaan contemplates his evolving emotions, he can't shake the feeling that, despite the initial deception, a real connection is forming between them.

In a playful banter, Ayaan teases Zainab, "You know, Zainab, I might have underestimated the power of a genuine smile. Yours has a way of brightening even the dullest days."

Zainab, not one to easily succumb to flattery, retorts with a smirk, "Ayaan, don't let that charming facade fool you. I've seen the old you, remember?"

Ayaan chuckles, "Ah, the old me. Let's just say, maybe there's more to me than meets the eye. And who knows, you might be unlocking a whole new version."

Zainab, maintaining her composure, replies, "Well, let's hope it's an improved version, Ayaan. We could all use a positive change."

Ayaan, displaying impatience, takes hold of Zainab's hand and draws her closer in his office. His eyes meet hers with a sense of urgency as he poses the question, "Zainab, when will you marry me?"

Zainab, maintaining her composed demeanor, gently pulls her hand away and responds, "Ayaan, marriage is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. We need time to understand each other better before taking such a step."

Undeterred, Ayaan persists with a playful smile, "Come on, Zainab, let's fast-track our journey. How about a date this weekend? We can discuss our future over dinner."

Zainab, thoughtful and measured, replies, "Ayaan, let's proceed cautiously. Building trust and understanding takes time. We can continue to work on that before jumping into anything too quickly."

Ayaan, unable to contain his emotions, confesses, "Zainab, you're driving me crazy."

Zainab, maintaining her composure, replies with a hint of amusement, "Well, Ayaan, it seems like we're both navigating uncharted territory. Let's take things one step at a time."

Ayaan is happy to hear it as it means that he surely influences Zainab.
