Her Destiny || 📒

part 28

As Mrs. Zubair and Mrs. Haroon walked away, Hana leaned in close to Minhu and whispered, "I'm so happy we finally confessed our feelings to each other."

Minhu smiled, his eyes shining with happiness. "Me too, Hana. I feel like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders."

....

Mr. Haroon's eyes sparkled with warmth as he turned to Mr. Zubair said, "I must confess, I have always been deeply fond of your daughter. Her kindness, intelligence, and beauty make her an exceptional young woman." Mrs. Haroon's face lit up with a gentle smile as she added, her hand clasped around Mrs. Zubair's, "I wholeheartedly agree with my husband's thoughts. I believe she would make a wonderful wife for our son Zayan."

Mr. Zubair's face radiated surprise and delight, his eyes locking onto his wife as if seeking her thoughts. Mr. Haroon nodded, his smile broadening. "Yes, I truly believe this union would bring happiness to both families."

Overcome with emotion, Mr. Zubair rose from his seat and hugged Mr. Haroon. "This is indeed a wonderfull, Haroon! I am deeply touched by your kind words and generous offer."

Mrs. Zubair's voice trembled with happiness as she echoed her husband's sentiments. "We are truly grateful for your consideration. Zayan is an exceptional young man, and we have always admired his character and values."

As the two couples shared a warm, congratulatory hug, their gazes drifted toward Zayan and Ayliz, who were sitting across the room.

Mr. Zubair's voice was filled with determination as he said, "I shall speak with Ayliz and hope she will agree and be happy with this ." Mrs. Haroon nodded in unison, "We shall do the same with Zayan, and may our children's hearts be filled with love and happiness."

Mr. Haroon's wise words hung in the air, "In this matter, our children's desires and happiness are paramount. May we work together to create a union that brings joy to all." Mr. Zubair nodded, and the two men sealed their understanding with a firm handshake.

They were all sitting around, chatting and sipping juice, when Minhu's phone rang. He got up to answer it, and the others kept talking.
....,,,,

But then Minhu's expression changed. "What's wrong?" Zayan asked.

Minhu said, "This guy on the phone said he's near Zayan's office, and the lights are on. He thinks someone might be inside."

The group fell silent, shocked. "Who could be there this late?" Hana asked.

Zayan jumped up. "Let's go check it out, Minhu!"

Minhu stood up, but Hana said, "Wait, I'm coming too!" She grabbed Ayliz's hand. "You're coming with us, Ayliz."

Ayliz tried to speak, but Hana cut her off. "No more questions, let's go!"

They all quickly got up and headed out to investigate the mysterious presence in Zayan's office.

As they arrived at the office, they were greeted by the watchman sitting outside, who seemed to be the only person around. They entered the office, and everything appeared to be in order, except for the fact that the lights had been left on. Zayan suggested, "Maybe someone simply forgot to turn them off." Ayliz added, "Yes, the lights are quite noticeable at night due to the darkness."

Just then, the lights suddenly went out, plunging them into darkness. They quickly pulled out their phones and turned on the torches to illuminate their surroundings. Zayan said, "Wait, let me go check what's going on." Minhu joked, "Don't go alone, you're scared of the dark! Let me come with you." Zayan gave him a neutral look and shrugged his shoulders, saying, "Okay, come."

As they made their way through the dark office, Minhu was slipping and sliding, having a bit of fun. But suddenly, he collided with someone and let out a loud shout, "Ghost! Ghost!" Zayan rushed to his side to help him up, saying, "There's no ghost, Minhu. Calm down." But when Minhu turned around, he saw the watchman standing there, who explained, "I came to check the lights, but you slipped and collided with me."

Minhu was still shaken and stuttered, "O-okay, you go." Just then, Hana put her hand on his shoulder, and Minhu let out a loud scream and jumped into Zayan's lap. Everyone burst out laughing at Minhu's overreaction,

As they walked out of the office, the group couldn't stop teasing Minhu about his scaredy-cat moment. Zayan chuckled and said, "Hey, Hana, someone was saying 'don't go alone, you're scared of the dark'!" Hana tried to hold back her laughter, but couldn't help giggling. "Yeah, yeah, I heard that too!"

Minhu looked at them with a mock-angry expression, his face red with embarrassment. "Shut up, you guys! I was hella scared, It was dark and suddenly someone was there... ahh!" He shuddered at the memory, making the others laugh even harder.

Zayan playfully patted Minhu on the back. "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone you're afraid of the dark... this time." Minhu rolled his eyes, laughing along with his friends. "Shut up, Zayan!"

Minhu looked at Hana with a pretend-offended expression, placing his hand on his torso. "You, how can you laugh at me? You should be taking my side, not making fun of me!" Hana shrugged her shoulders carelessly and said, "Why would I?"

Minhu replied, "Because you're my girlfriend!" But before Hana could respond, Ayliz and Zayan exchanged a shocked look, their mouths dropping open in unison. "When and how?" they asked simultaneously, clearly surprised by Minhu's claim.

Hana's eyes widened, and she took a step back, looking like she'd been caught off guard. Minhu's face turned bright red as he realized he might have said something he shouldn't have.

Minhu looked embarrassed, scratching his head. "Uh, I mean... I think it was just today, at the party, when I stormed off in a huff... that's when Hana came to comfort me, and, uh, I guess that's when it happened."

Zayan and Ayliz exchanged a knowing look, their eyes wide with excitement. "Ooooo!" they chimed in unison, teasingly drawing out the word.

Hana's face turned bright red, and she looked like she wanted to disappear. Minhu's confession had clearly caught her off guard.

Zayan beamed with excitement, congratulating Minhu with a hearty handshake and a warm hug. "Congratulations bro, May Allah bless you both!" He then turned to Hana and gave her a gentle smile. Ayliz hugged hana "May Allah bless your relationship and fill it with love and happiness."

Zayan added, "Ameen,".

Minhu and Hana exchanged shy smiles, basking in the happiness and blessings of their friends.

Minhu blushed, feeling grateful for his friends' support. "Thanks, guys. We're really happy."

Hana smiled, looking a bit overwhelmed but pleased.

Hana glanced at her watch and said, "Oh, it's getting late. I really should head home." Ayliz nodded in agreement and gave her a warm hug.

Minhu offered, "I'll drop you off, I'm heading home anyway." Hana hummed in response, said goodbye to Ayliz and Zayan, and then she and Minhu got into the car and drove off.

As they pulled away, Zayan turned to Ayliz and asked, "Do you want to stay here alone outside...?? or else I am going. She looked at him with a straight face and replied, "Me too." He raised an eyebrow, ohhh!! Then let's go.

As they strolled towards their car, he gazed up at the stars and said wistfully, "You know, I love white sauce pasta, but I don't have anyone to cook it for me with love."

Ayliz replied, "That's not true! Who said??You have your mom, she'd cook it for you with love if you asked her to." His expression faltered, and he became speechless for a moment.

He looked away,and muttered uffff this girl can't understand a little thing, "Yeah...you're right." His words had struck a chord, and he didn't know how to respond.

Breaking the silence, he said, "Let's get in the car," trying to change the subject and compose himself. Ayliz nodded, and they both got into the car.
