Her Destiny || 📒

part 29

Zayan drove the car while Ayliz gazed out the window, lost in thought. Suddenly, her phone rang, breaking the silence. She glanced at the screen and saw her father's name flashing.

"Yes, Appa?" she answered,

Mr. Zubair asked, "Where are you all?" She explained, "We came to check Zayan's office, Appa. Someone thought he saw someone inside, but it was just a misunderstanding."

Her father inquired, "Everything is okay, right?" She reassured him, "Yeah, yeah, Appa, everything's alright. Hana and Minhu left, so now it's just Zayan and me heading home."

Mr. Zubair responded with a relieved "Shukr Alhamdulillah". He added, "By the way, Mr. Haroon and his wife just left our place. Mr. Haroon asked me to tell Zayan that he will come home."

Ayliz acknowledged, "Okay, Appa, I'll tell him." With that, the call ended, and Ayliz turned to Zayan, who was still driving, and relayed the message from Mr. Haroon.

Zayan took a quick glance at Ayliz, then refocused on the road, asking in a calm tone, "What's up? Everything okay?"

Ayliz replied in a gentle voice, "Yes, Alhamdulillah, everything's good. Appa was just asking where we were and told me to let you know that your parents left their place and calling you too."

Zayan nodded, his eyes still on the road, and said simply, "Okay." Then she again started looking outside the window.

As they arrived at Ayliz's home, she got out of the car and said, "Thank you, Allah Hafiz" . She turned to leave, but Zayan called out her name, "Ayliz!"

She turned back, slightly confused, "Yes, what's up?"

Zayan smiled mischievously and said, "I can't wait anymore." Ayliz looked puzzled, "For what?"

Zayan just chuckled and said, "You can't understand now, go, it's already late." Ayliz nodded and headed towards the gate, leaving Zayan alone in the car.

As he watched her go, a big smile spread across his face. He whispered to himself, "Ayliz, my soon-to-be wife... I can't wait anymore. I don't even know when I fell for you." He was clearly excited and eager about something, but only he knew what.

With a spring in his step, Zayan accelerated the car and drove off towards his mansion.

As Zayan arrived at the mansion, the guard promptly opened the gate, allowing him to drive in. He pulled up to the entrance, got out of the car, and stepped into the grand foyer. With a sense of relief, he ascended the stairs, his footsteps echoing through the hallway.

Reaching his room, he tossed the car keys onto the table and began to unwind. He slipped off his blazer, revealing a crisp white shirt underneath, and made his way to the bathroom. The sound of running water filled the air as he turned on the shower, ready to wash away the events of the evening.

As the warm water cascaded down, Zayan couldn't help but smile, his mind still on Ayliz and the excitement that had been building up inside him. He felt a sense of anticipation, knowing that his life was about to change in ways he never thought possible.

Zayan emerged from the bathroom, looking relaxed and refreshed. He wore a comfortable white sweatpant, and his hair was still damp from the shower. He rubbed a towel through his hair, ruffling it into a messy, endearing look.

As he walked out, the soft glow of the room's lighting highlighted his calm demeanor.

Zayan flopped himself onto the bed, exhausted from the day's events. He let out a deep sigh, feeling the softness of the mattress envelop him. His eyes grew heavy, and he couldn't help but surrender to the allure of sleep.
