Her Destiny || 📒

part 25

Ayliz woke up to a sunny morning, her phone screen shows last night messages from Hana. She smiled as she read the invitation to go shopping.

"Hey, let's go shopping tomorrow!" Hana's message read.

Ayliz thought for a moment, then typed out a reply. "Ok, let's go! What time?"

"As soon as we can! I need some serious retail therapy," Hana responded.

Ayliz laughed. "Well, I'm always up for a good shopping spree! See you tomorrow!"

Then, she headed to the bathroom to start her day. The warm water of the shower washed away the sleep, and Ayliz felt refreshed and ready for a day of shopping .

She headed downstairs for breakfast, and as she entered the dining room, she saw Hana walking in too. "Hello, Aunty, Uncle! How are you?" Hana said with a bright smile, greeting Ayliz's parents.

"Alhamdulillah, we're fine, dear. How about you?" Mrs. Zubair replied warmly, gesturing for Hana to join them.

"Come join us for breakfast," Mr. Zubair added, pulling out a chair for himself.

Ayliz grinned at her friend. "Hey, perfect timing! I was just about to dig in."

Hana laughed. "I'm starving! Thanks, Aunty and Uncle, for having me over."

As they sat down to eat, the conversation flowed easily,

Mrs. Zubair asked, "Are you girls going out somewhere?"

Ayliz replied, "Yeah, Mumma, Hana and I are going shopping."

Hana added, "Yeah, Aunty, I messaged her last night and we planned it out."

Mrs. Zubair smiled, "Ok, okay, go and enjoy yourselves, but don't forget to stay safe and be back home on time!"

Ayliz turned towards her father, seeking his approval as well. Mr. Zubair gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'll handle everything in the office. You go and have fun with your friend, dear."

Ayliz grinned, feeling grateful for her supportive parents. "Thanks, Appa! I'll be back soon!"

"Today's going to be so much fun!" Hana said, grinning.

Zayan and Minhu sat in a cozy restaurant, sipping their coffee and engaged in a lively conversation. Minhu was recounting his conversation with Hana and him.

"Hey, Mr. Handsome, you know what they think about us?" Minhu asked, a mischievous glint in his eye.

Zayan raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

"Hana and Ayliz," Minhu replied, his voice filled with amusement.

Zayan's curiosity was piqued. "What do they think?"

Minhu burst out laughing. "Remember that time in the office when I was fixing your tie?"

Zayan nodded, his eyes narrowing. "Yeah, what about it?"

Minhu chuckled. "Well, Ayliz burst into the office, and... "

Zayan's expression turned puzzled. "So what? Spit it out, man!"

Minhu cleared his throat, still grinning. "They think we're gay!"

Zayan's eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape. "What? What did you say? Minhu, you're killing me! Ayliz thinks I'm into men? That's like saying the sun rises in the west!
Ya khudaya, this girl, She's really something... a tornado in a teacup!"

Zayan threw up his hands in exasperation. "Now what do I do? I like her, but this little kitten thinks I like an owl like you!" He pointed a finger at Minhu, who chuckled.
