The early morning sun shone brightly, its warm light filling the room with a radiant glow. The gentle illumination seemed to caress every surface, casting a comforting warmth over everything it touched. Soft beams of light danced across the space, dispelling any lingering shadows and bathing the room in a sense of serenity.

Roohina draped a royal blue veil with white stones on the edge __around her face , pinning it with a white magnetic pin, her royal blue abaya was decorated with the same white stones around her neck line and the edge of her sleeves.

With a few deft strokes, she lined her eyes with kohl, making her dark blue irises gleam like a mysterious pool. A swipe of lip gloss followed, adding a subtle sheen to her lips and defining their gentle pout.

Finally, she added a subtle touch of elegance with a spritz of her signature Miss Dior perfume. With a swift glance in the mirror to ensure everything was in place, Roohina quickly wore her comfortable dolce and gabana sneakers before sauntering out of the room with her handbag.

Today was their last day in San Francisco before embarking on their Umrah journey, and the family had planned a tour of the city.

Well not the all the family , only the youngsters with the exclusion of Ashmaan__who blatantly refused when they invited him. He has been on the edge since the time she saw him talking to Aamira on the backstage during the launching party.

And unfortunately for her , she didn't even hear what they were talking about , she only heard the last part where ashmaan was telling Aamira to come up with another plan .

Which plan ? What did Aamira plan before that got foiled by ashmaan ? Were the unanswered questions that came to her mind , but she decided to ignore everything and act like she didn't hear them talking at all , it will be for her own betterment.

As Roohina emerged out of the mansion, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of a luxurious Rolls-Royce bus majestically parked on the asphalt driveway. The sleek, white vehicle gleamed in the soft light, its elegant lines and refined features exuding opulence and sophistication.

"Wow, this bus is amazing!" Afnaan exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement , jolting Roohina out of jer reverie "Come on, let's go!" She grabbed Roohina's hand and pulled her aboard, where the rest of the group were already waiting, eager to get started on their tour.

As Roohina stepped into the bus, she was blown away by its opulent interior - it was even more breathtaking than the exterior. The bus was divided into three compartments, each designed to seat five people. The first two compartments were already filled, so she made her way to the last one. That's where she found Aasim, Jasmine, Afnaan, and to her surprise, Ashmaan.

What is he doing here? she thought, her eyes narrowing in suspicion. She took a seat next to him, still staring at him with a questioning gaze.

"You're here?" she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly as she gazed at him with a mix of surprise and skepticism.

"Yeah," he drawled, his tone nonchalant, without bothering to look up at her.

She raised an eyebrow, recalling his previous response when she invited him to join them on the tour. " then what was 'i don't go on frivolous tours only business related ones ' " she said, her voice laced with a hint of sarcasm.

He shrugged, his expression unreadable as usual . "Well, there is a first for everything."

She drew out the words, her tone dripping with doubt. "Oookay... "
