-Rahaf's pov-

I settled into my room after praying the maghrib salah a soft glow enveloped the space, casting a warm ambiance.

The events of the past week played like a movie in my mind, each scene bringing forth a wave of emotions and memories.

My heart danced with joy as I reminisced about the fresher's party, Aydin's unexpected presence, and the subtle yet palpable tension between us.

With a gentle sigh, I reached for my journal, a faithful companion through the ups and downs of life. The pages were a sanctuary where I could pour out my thoughts, dreams, and aspirations, unfiltered and raw.

As my pen glided across the paper, the words flowed effortlessly, each stroke a testament to the whirlwind of emotions swirling within me.

Memories intertwined with ink, weaving a tapestry of moments frozen in time. I smiled as I relived the laughter, the music, and the stolen glances exchanged between Aydin and me.

Despite the occasional hurdles and misunderstandings, there was an undeniable connection that bound us together, a thread of fate weaving our destinies in intricate patterns.

Closing my journal with a sense of contentment, I tucked it away in the drawer, a treasure trove of my innermost thoughts and musings.

As I descended the stairs, the soft murmurs of conversation reached my ears, drawing me towards the comforting presence of family.

"Assalamu Alaikum, Bhabhi," I greeted with a warm smile as I approached the couch where my Noor bhabhi sat.

"Wa Alaikum Assalam, Rahaf," She replied, her voice filled with affection. "Come, sit with me. How was your salah?"

Sinking into the plush cushions beside her, I nestled close, my hand instinctively gravitating towards her belly, where new life pulsed beneath her touch. "It was good, alhamdulillah."

We spoke of dreams and aspirations, of hopes for the future, and the unbreakable bond that tied us together as sister-in-laws.

"I can't wait to meet the little one," I remarked, my eyes twinkling with excitement. "They're going to bring so much joy into our lives."

Noor's smile widened, her eyes shimmering with maternal warmth. "In shah Allah, they will. And you'll be the best auntie, sweetheart."

My heart swelled at her words as I embraced her in a side hug.

The comforting warmth of our conversation enveloped us like a soft embrace. The soft glow of the lamp cast gentle shadows across the room, creating an ambiance of tranquility.

"I think I'll cook dinner tonight," I announced suddenly, a spark of determination igniting within me.

Noor bhabhi's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you sure, Rahaf? You know you don't have to do that. I can help you."

I shook my head, a smile playing on my lips. "No, bhabhi. You need to rest. You're carrying a precious life inside you. Let me take care of dinner tonight."
