"Sometimes the most profound conversations happen in silence."

Aamirah sat poised in the luxurious study, her posture as stiff as the ornate chair she occupied. The room was a testament to opulence, with its rich mahogany paneling, plush velvet drapes, and an array of meticulously arranged antiques.
Yet, despite the grandeur of her surroundings, Aamirah’s focus was indirectly on the man seated across from her. He was a figure of authority and power, his presence commanding the room with an effortless dominance.
His gaze was steady, almost inscrutable, as she felt like he is studying her with an intensity that made Aamirah feel both exposed and insignificant. The weight of his scrutiny was palpable, a physical force that seemed to press down on her.
She could feel the oppressive silence of the room, each tick of the grand clock on the wall amplifying the tension that hung between them.
Aamirah’s heart pounded in her chest, its rhythm erratic and fast. The man’s power was undeniable; she had heard stories of his influence, of the decisions he made that shaped the course of lives and events far beyond these walls.
The sheer force of his authority was daunting, and the reality of her impending marriage to him was beginning to sink in with a suffocating clarity.
This was no longer a distant possibility—it was an unavoidable certainty.
She had to marry him, her wishes, her opinions, her consent held no weight in this world just because she came from a financially weak background.
Her father whom she love to the moon and back would be devastated to hear that she married someone in his absence. Since childhood her dream wedding would be the most beautiful day of her life, where everyone would be happy.
She wants a happy ending too, but some people held so much power and influence in the system that they can dictate and decide your life even without doing so.
She is no fool to know that why any hospital isn't helping her baba, they all are under pressure or maybe they are already bought with some mere money.
She glanced around the room, her eyes briefly catching the glimmer of the crystal chandelier and the rich hues of the Persian rugs. The luxury of the space felt like a cruel irony.
Here she was, surrounded by symbols of success and privilege, and yet she felt trapped, her freedom slipping through her fingers like sand. The lavish décor seemed to mock her, a reminder of the life she was expected to accept, a life that felt foreign and confining.
The man’s voice cut through the silence, his tone smooth and controlled. He spoke with someone on his cell ah! he isn't talking he is giving orders and demands the results.
As he spoke, Aamirah’s thoughts drifted to the life she had hoped to lead—a life of self-determination, where she could pursue her passions and make her own choices.
The contrast between that life and the one she was now being forced into felt stark and unforgiving. Her dreams, once vibrant and full of possibility, were being overshadowed by the reality of her situation.
