MAHIR'S OPENING CEREMONY (11:35)
The ceremony began at 10 PM, and the massive hall was filled with people. Everything went smoothly, the introductions were on point, and the mood was light. As the night progressed, it was time for the party. The Durani brothers were deep in conversation with investors. After the investors left, Shameer noticed a few guys sitting on a couch nearby. He glared at them, and they immediately got up and left. He sat down, his body relaxing as he exhaled."Finally, I can rest," he said, his innocent self shining through. Shahab chuckled, but Mahir's eyes were scanning the room, looking for someone. Shameer noticed and couldn't resist. "Looking for her?" he whispered in Mahir's ear. Mahir jumped, startled by the sudden whisper. He had been so focused on searching.
"What are you doing? You want to get murdered?" Mahir grumbled, pulling his head away, while Shahab chuckled softly.
"Don't tease him, boy. Your one is already looking at you," Shahab said with a smirk. Shameer flushed, quickly looking around.
"Where is Lia?" he asked quietly, still searching. Mahir and Shahab burst out laughing.
"I wasn't even talking about her! I was talking about the girls drooling over you," Shahab teased. Shameer's face turned even redder, but he was interrupted by Fariha."Shah, come," Fariha called, taking Shahab away.
"He's dead," Shameer said, as Mahir raised an eyebrow. Shameer explained that Shahab had been busy with the ceremony and couldn't answer Fariha's calls. Now she was angry with him.Mahir continued searching the room, scanning the crowd, until his gaze landed on Mia, Soha, and Lia standing together. But Aena was nowhere in sight. "Huh, where is she?" Mahir muttered to himself. He couldn't just ask them, so he looked at Shameer, who was sipping his drink.
"Hey, look, there's Lia," Mahir said. Shameer turned his head.
"Go ask her where Aena is," Mahir instructed. Shameer stared at him in disbelief, shaking his head. Mahir leaned in closer, whispering.
"It's your chance, go talk to Lia."
Shameer sighed, reluctantly getting up and crossing through the crowd. He reached Lia, tapping her shoulder. She turned to face him, and when their eyes met, her face turned crimson. Shameer's ears flushed as well. Soha and Mia raised their eyebrows, surprised to see such a shy side of him.
