"Where's Samar?" Haya asked as Raghav approached her, keeping a glass of berry smoothie in front of her that he got from the canteen on his way back.

"Having a talk," Raghav answered, taking a seat beside her as he took his phone out to see why it was buzzing with texts for the last ten minutes.

Haya took a sip of the smoothie, the tangy sweetness momentarily distracting her from the events of the day. She glanced at Raghav, noticing the furrow in his brow as he scrolled through his phone.

"What's going on?" she asked, setting the glass down.

"Just some work stuff," Raghav replied, his tone distracted. He pocketed his phone and turned to her, "I've been invited to speak at a seminar." 

"What is it about?" She asked.

"It's a seminar at a college," Raghav clarified, "They've invited me to speak, probably about entrepreneurship or leadership." He glanced at Haya, a hint of excitement in his eyes despite the distraction. "It's a good opportunity to share insights and maybe inspire some students."

As Raghav spoke about the seminar, his mind wandered back to the day he first saw Haya, a smile spreading on his lips.

"I love speaking at Seminars," Raghav said with a nostalgic smile, breaking from his thoughts. He reached out and gently squeezed Haya's hand.

"Oh, don't you?" She hummed, looking at him with a teasing smile, "Don't you go and find someone else, okay?"

"Preity Zinta can stand beside you and I still wouldn't notice her.." He replied.

"Liar." She rolled her eyes playfully, knowing full well that he wasn't really lying.

Samar walked into the office, his suit jacket nowhere to be found, sweat glistening on his forehead as he folded his sleeves, "Oh, you're still here?" He asked, looking at Haya and Raghav.

"So... what's with Nihal?" Haya asked.

"Still won't answer anything, either he dies out of starvation in the basement or I'll give him an easy death if he answers my questions, you don't have to worry anymore, everything is under control." He answered, "Just let Kabir do his duty."

"Do you know who else was involved?" She asked.

"It's no one you know, leave it to the team now, yeah? You're safe, Nihal won't be able to reach you, by any means, I promise." Samar replied.

"Close the chapter, Haya, he's done," Raghav mumbled to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, just when a knock came on the door.

She looked up to see a vision of loveliness entering the room.

Veera, Samar's girlfriend, glided into the room with an air of grace and elegance, her flowing hair cascading down her back and her eyes twinkling with warmth and kindness, Veera looked like she had stepped straight out of a fairy tale, just like Samar described her.

Haya couldn't help but stare, her breath catching in her throat as she took in Veera's beauty. She did look like a Disney princess.

Her white dress draped elegantly against her bronze skin tone, creating a striking contrast that highlighted her natural beauty.

Samar's face lit up at the sight of Veera, his eyes softening with adoration. "Hey princess," he greeted, walking over to her to greet her with a tender kiss.

Veera returned Samar's affection with a dazzling smile, "I brought lunch," she said, her voice as sweet as honey.

Haya snapped out of her trance, tearing her gaze away from Veera to offer a polite smile. "Hi, Veera," she greeted, getting up.
