Ayat was climbing the stairs while taking his lemon water,....... on her own thoughts and when Zara's voice ranged in her mind

"A day will come,....when your this trust will shatter in a way that you will not be able to trust afterwards.....mind my words!"

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."

She abruptly began reciting the last verse of Surah Al-Baqarah to calm her mind while walking slowly.

"Hello!" Ashar said as his phone buzzed, and he picked it up.

"Sir, I have news that the media is trying to learn about your upcoming project, and that's why they are everywhere around the company," a man on the other end explained. Ashar raised his eyebrows in shock.

"Are they sneaking around?" Ashar inquired.

"Technically, yes, sir!" he replied in a professional tone. After cutting the call, Ashar hurried to the door and flung it open, only to encounter Ayat, who stood there holding lemon water. He smiled nervously, took the lemon water, and gulped it down in one go. "Thanks," he mumbled as he passed the empty glass back to her and rushed out of the room, leaving Ayat confused by his behavior.

He hurried downstairs and knocked urgently on the bedroom door of Nayla and Saleem. Nayla opened the door, covering her mouth with her hand as a yawn escaped her.

"Ashar, what hap—" she began to ask, but he rushed in without any explanation, prompting Nayla to turn around and watch him.

"Abbu! Wake up quickly!" he shouted, shaking Saleem to wake him. Saleem's eyes popped open, and he looked at Ashar with a furrowed brow.

"What happened, Ashar?" he asked, noticing Ashar's worried expression.

"I just received news that the media are sneaking around the company to find out about the upcoming project that we haven't revealed yet!" Ashar said in a rush, panic evident in his voice. Saleem's eyes widened, while Nayla looked at both of them with a confused expression, not grasping the situation.

"We have to cancel the nikah today!" Saleem declared hurriedly, standing up and heading out as Ashar followed him. Nayla was taken aback by Saleem's statement.

"What are you saying, Saleem?" Nayla asked, rushing after them, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Nayla, call everyone to the dining room quickly!" he ordered. Although she was perplexed, she hurried off to call everyone from their respective bedrooms. Meanwhile, Ashar and Saleem took their seats at the dining table, and Saleem held his head in frustration.
