"This is a halal love story of Mohammed Ahmed (Kim Taehyung) and Aira Khan, who were classmates from 1st grade until 6th grade. Taehyung fell in love with Aira, but her cold demeanor caused him to move on. After sixth grade, they were placed in diff...
She looked away from him and saw her best friend, Zoya, waving from afar, signaling her to come over. Lowering her gaze, Aira walked toward Zoya and greeted her, "Assalamualaikum, how's your preparation? I'm so nervous."
"Walaikum Assalam, belle. First, happy birthday my love! And Don't worry, everything will be fine. I know you're stressed, but you're well-prepared. Look at me, I haven't even opened my notes. I'm just staring at them, but I'm still fresh and tension-free. Don't worry, you'll ace the paper, and may Allah save me from getting scolded by my parents because I'm going to fail the zoology exam," Zoya replied.
Aira looked at her in disbelief. "Yallah, what's wrong with this girl? Please give her guidance so she'll prepare for her exams," she prayed, and they both laughed before heading to their exam.
After the exam, they left the hall to get their bags. Just as they were about to leave, they noticed a group of boys from their class gathered around, watching someone beat up a 11th-grade boy.
Aira's POV
There was such a crowd of students that I couldn't see who was hitting the younger boy. As soon as the principal arrived and everyone stepped aside, I saw that the boy was Ahmed. My eyes widened in shock. I covered my mouth with my hands because there was blood on his lips, and the other boy was also badly injured.
Zoya, unfazed, said, "Why is it always Ahmed? Ahhh, whatever, I'm tired. Let's go, belle."
I ignored her words and continued to watch the scene. Ahmed was fixing his shirt when he noticed me. We made eye contact for a moment before I looked away. The principal called both boys to the office, and the security guard instructed the students to go home.
When I came out of college, I saw Rohan oppa already there to pick me up. I sat in the car, and Rohan oppa said, "Hello, my precious belle, how was your paper?"
I answered him very happily, "Oppa, I rocked the paper! It was so smooth, like butter!"
Rohan chuckled and said, "That's my girl. I'm proud of you. Insha'Allah, you'll excel in every paper."
She said, "Ameen! I'll make our family proud by studying hard. When I become a doctor, I'll do your check-up for free."
Rohan laughed and said, "Done!"
After they reached home, Aira entered the house, calling out loudly, "Assalamualaikum!" so that her mother and Ayeza could hear her. Then she went straight to her room, threw herself on the bed, and started thinking about the scene at college while staring at the ceiling fan.
"I dunno why I always remain speechless whenever I see him.. why is he so attractive? Why didn't I give him a chance when we were in school?"
With that, her thoughts broke, and she said, "Astaghfirullah! No, Aira, what are you thinking about? It's Haram, no way. I can't think about him. It's just the past. He was only 14 years old when he used to like me, but now we're adults. I know he doesn't think about me now, as I never gave him a chance to be close to me."
Aira's POV
She was so tired that she didn't even realize she had fallen asleep while still wearing her uniform. At Asr, her mom knocked on the door, but she didn't budge. Her mom opened the door, finding it unlocked, and saw her sleeping like a baby in her college uniform. She sat on the edge of the bed, removed her hijab, caressed her hair, and gently removed her ID card from her neck, placing it on the side table. Then, she whispered softly in her ear to wake her up for Asr Salah.
Aira turned to the other side, pouting, and held her mom's waist, drifting back to sleep. Her mom admired her cute behavior, seeing her as her little baby, even at 18. She gently patted her shoulder again to wake her up, saying in a low, gentle tone, "Belle, my baby, wake up and offer Asr. You're getting late, and you haven't eaten anything since you came from college. Come on, freshen up and offer your Salah. Then come downstairs; I'll feed my belle with my own hands." With that, she left the room.
Aira got up from her bed, took a shower, performed her ablution, and offered her Salah before heading downstairs.
I came downstairs and saw Eomma in the kitchen making something for me, while Rohan oppa and Ayeza eonnie were in the drawing room watching some TV show. I joined them on the couch, scrolling through my phone. I watched a video in my college friends' group chat about today's incident of Ahmed beating that boy. Without replying, I placed the phone on the couch and started watching TV with oppa and eonnie. Just then, Eomma called me to eat, saying she was going to feed me. I got up from the couch, went into the kitchen, and sat on the chair beside the kitchen slab. I saw that Eomma had made macaroni for me, which made me happily shocked. I kissed Eomma's cheeks as it's my favorite food and I was also very hungry. Eomma fed me the food, and I got full. Afterward, I went to wash the dishes because I didn't want to burden Eomma; I always wash the dishes for dinner. As I was washing the dishes, I asked Eomma, "When is Appa coming back to Korea? I'm missing him so much... It's been 4 months since he went to Dubai.' She made a sad pout, and Eomma looked at her cute face and said, "Oh my dear belle, he's gone for his office work. Don't worry, he'll come back soon when he's done with the project. I'll call him tonight, okay? You can also talk to him yourself and ask him, okay?"
With that, I hummed in response and left from there, heading into my room to prepare for the next paper. After some time, I didn't feel like continuing, so I closed the notes, stood up from the table, and went to the washroom to do ablution for Maghrib prayer. After the prayer, something came into my mind, and I decided to change my clothes and do a minimal makeup. Then, I went downstairs.

When Aira came downstairs, she saw everyone watching TV. She got their attention, and eonnie asked, "Where are you going at this hour? First, have dinner, then go wherever you want." Suddenly, Eomma said, "Why go after dinner? You know we'll have our dinner at 10, and it will be too late to go outside. Aira, go to your room; you are not going anywhere-"
Aira cut her off and said, "Eomma, I came here to ask if we could have dinner outside. I'm getting bored, and I'm not in the mood to study." Eomma pouted, but Rohan agreed with Aira and said, "Yes, my belle is right. We haven't gone out for dinner in a long time. Now, get up and get ready, both of you. We are having dinner outside today, no more questions."
Aira got excited as Rohan always took her side. She hugged him from behind the couch, and he said, "Are you happy now?" She chuckled and replied, "Why wouldn't I be happy when my brother always take my side and give me first priority in front of everyone?" Then they all got ready. Rohan picked up the car keys and wore his jacket, and they all went out for dinner.
When they reached the restaurant and picked a table, Ayeza started looking at the menu to decide what to order, and Mrs. Fahad was talking to Rohan. Aira was drinking the soup that the waiter gave them as a starter, but she accidentally spilled it on her new hoodie. Aira startled and looked up, and Ayeza noticed the mess. She told Aira to go to the washroom to clean her hoodie.
Aira hummed in response and got up to go to the washroom, but halfway there, she saw a familiar face: Ahmed...
