Humaira was no stranger to the city's relentless pulse. Born and raised in a modest neighborhood, she had grown accustomed to the constant hum of activity that surrounded her. Yet, there was a quiet determination that set her apart, a spark in her eyes that hinted at dreams far beyond the confines of her familiar world.
As she approached the towering gates of her University, Humaira felt a familiar sense of anticipation. This hallowed institution, with its grand colonial architecture and well-tended gardens, had become a sanctuary of sorts – a place where she could immerse herself in the pursuit of knowledge, far from the distractions and societal expectations that often weighed upon her.
Clutching her bag tightly, Humaira made her way through the bustling campus, her mind already consumed by the lectures and discussions that awaited her. It was here, amidst the vibrant intellectual community, that she found solace and a sense of purpose.
Yet, even as Humaira's thoughts were consumed by the promise of the day ahead, a nagging sense of unease had taken root in the back of her mind. For weeks, her parents had been hinting at an impending change in her life, one that filled her with a mix of trepidation and dread.
The arranged marriage.
Humaira had known, from a young age, that her parents' traditional values would one day lead them to seek a suitable partner for her. But the prospect of being bound to a stranger, of relinquishing the independence she had so carefully cultivated, filled her with a deep, unsettling dread.
As she made her way to her first lecture, Humaira couldn't help but wonder what her future might hold. Would she be able to reconcile her dreams of a fulfilling career and making a difference in her community with the responsibilities and expectations of a traditional marriage? The uncertainty weighed heavily on her heart, casting a shadow over the promise of the day ahead.
Little did Humaira know that her life was about to take an unexpected turn, one that would test the very limits of her resilience and challenge the foundations of everything she had ever known.

Shibi Malik paced the ornate hallway of his family's sprawling estate, his brow furrowed with a mix of frustration and resignation. The weight of his mother's expectations bore down on him like a suffocating blanket, leaving him no room to breathe.
"Shibi, my son, you must understand the importance of this arrangement," his mother's voice rang out, her tone laced with a subtle hint of steel. "The Aziz family is a respected and well-connected clan. This marriage will secure our family's standing in the community."
Shibi suppressed a sigh, his gaze fixed on the intricate patterns of the Persian rug beneath his feet. "But, Mother, I barely know this girl. How can you expect me to commit my life to someone I've only met in passing?"
His mother's eyes narrowed, a subtle warning in her expression. "Shibi, you will do as I say. This is not a request, but an order. The arrangements have been made, and the wedding will take place as planned."
As saying this she remember that day when she meet Humaira that sweet girl who save her life.From then that girl stuck in her eyes.She only want good for her son,she want her son to marry with someone who genuinely love him care for him.
Shibi felt the familiar weight of defeat settle upon his shoulders. His mother's iron will was a force to be reckoned with, and he knew better than to challenge her. Yet, a small part of him rebelled against the idea of being forced into a marriage, of relinquishing control over his own life.
As his mother swept out of the room, Shibi's thoughts drifted to the woman who had truly captured his heart – Sarah. The beautiful, intelligent student he had met on campus was a far cry from the demure, obedient bride his mother had chosen for him. Shibi's heart ached with the forbidden longing he felt for Sharah, even as he knew that his mother's demands would forever keep them apart.
Conflicted and uneasy, Shibi found himself drawn to the balcony, his gaze sweeping across the manicured gardens of the estate. It was in these moments of solitude that he could momentarily escape the suffocating weight of his family's expectations, allowing his mind to wander to the life he truly desired.
Thinking about a time when he meet Sarah they meet in their after school class where Sarah beauty captivated him.
Little did Shibi know that his world was about to collide with Humaira's in a way that would irrevocably change the course of both their lives.

"Humaira, my dear," her mother began, her voice tinged with a mixture of pride and apprehension. "The Abbasi family has agreed to the marriage proposal. You are to be wed to their son, Shibi, in two weeks' time."
Humaira felt her heart skip a beat, a familiar sense of unease stirring within her. "But, Mother, I barely know this man. How can you expect me to marry him?" Her voice wavered, betraying the turmoil that raged inside her.
Her father reached across the table, his weathered hand gently covering hers. "Daughter, you must understand. This is a great honor for our family. The Abbasi's are a respected and influential clan. This marriage will secure our future."
Humaira felt the weight of her parents' expectations pressing down on her, threatening to crush her dreams of independence and self-determination,she doesn't want to get marry atleast not know,she is feeling very weird to this marriage as if something is stopping her to do this. She knew that arguing would be futile; her parents had made up their minds, and their decision was final.
With a heavy heart, Humaira resigned herself to the inevitable. She would become Shibi Malik's wife, bound by tradition and societal norms, her own aspirations and desires relegated to the shadows.
As she retired to her room that evening, Humaira allowed the tears to fall freely, mourning the loss of the future she had envisioned for herself. But even in the depths of her despair, a glimmer of resolve began to take root. She would not surrender her spirit without a fight.
Humaira's journey had only just begun, and the path ahead would be fraught with challenges, betrayal, and the ultimate test of her resilience.
