love by chance

chapter 9

Nouf's eyes widened as she stared at her phone, her mind racing with shock and confusion. She was sitting at the dinner table with her family, enjoying a quiet evening together, when she saw it. A video, uploaded to the internet, showing Irfan lifting her sister Nadiya in his arms and taking her to the hospital. But it was the caption that made her blood boil - "Irfan and Nadiya's secret affair exposed!"

Nouf's spoon clattered to the floor as she stood up, her chair scraping against the tile. Her family turned to her, concerned.

"Nouf, what's wrong?" her mom asked, setting down her own utensils.

Nouf couldn't speak, she just shook her head, her eyes fixed on the screen.

"Nouf, talk to us," her dad said, his voice firm but gentle.

Nadiya, who had been quietly eating her dinner, looked up, sensing something was wrong. "Nouf, what's going on?"

Nouf took a deep breath and turned to her family. "It's...it's a video of Irfan and Nadiya. It says they're having an affair."

The room fell silent. Nadiya's eyes widened in shock, and she looked like she had been punched in the gut.

"That's not true!" Nadiya exclaimed, her voice shaking. "Irfan helped me to the hospital when I was sick, that's all!"

Their mom stood up, her face stern. "Who would do such a thing? And why?"

Nouf shook her head. "I don't know, but we need to do something. This can't be left online."

Their dad nodded. "I'll take care of it. Nadiya, do you know anything about this video?"

Nadiya shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "No, I have no idea. Irfan was just being kind to me."

Nouf put a hand on her sister's shoulder. "We'll get through this, Nadiya. We'll clear your name and find out who did this."

The family sat back down, but the rest of the dinner was tense and quiet, each of them lost in their own thoughts, wondering who could have uploaded such a malicious video and why.

Nadiya rushed to her room, her heart racing with worry. She couldn't believe what was happening. Her name and reputation were being dragged through the mud, and she didn't know how to stop it. She felt like her whole world was crashing down around her.

She tried to call Irfan, but he wasn't answering his phone. She tried again and again, but it went straight to voicemail. She was starting to get desperate.

Just then, her phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number. "You're a disgrace to our community," it read. Nadiya felt a lump form in her throat as she read the words. Who was sending her these messages?

She tried to shake off the feeling of unease and focus on finding a solution. She needed to talk to Irfan, to figure out what was going on and how to clear her name. But why wasn't he answering his phone?

Meanwhile, at Irfan's house, the atmosphere was tense. His family was gathered in the living room, discussing the incident at the restaurant.

Irfan's family was still reeling from the shock of his rejection of Amrah's proposal. They couldn't believe that he had turned down someone as "special" as Amrah.

"I don't understand why he would do such a thing," Irfan's mom said, shaking her head. "Amrah is a wonderful girl, She's beautiful, intelligent, and kind. What more could Irfan want?"

"I know, right?" Irfan's sister agreed. "I was so embarrassed when he rejected her in front of everyone. It was like he was saying that she's not good enough for him."
