love by chance

chapter 10

After Irfan hung up the call, Nadiya couldn't shake off the feeling that something was different about him. She had expected him to be his usual arrogant and rude self, but instead, he had been kind and caring.

She thought back to their conversation, replaying the words he had spoken to her. He had listened to her concerns and offered words of comfort, his tone gentle and reassuring.

Nadiya couldn't help but wonder what had brought about this change in him. Had he finally realized the error of his ways? Or was this just a temporary reprieve from his usual behavior?

As she pondered these questions, Nadiya couldn't help but feel a sense of hope. Maybe, just maybe, Irfan was finally starting to change. Maybe he was finally starting to see her as an equal, rather than just someone he could boss around.

The thought sent a warmth spreading through her chest, and for the first time in a long time, Nadiya felt like she could finally see a future with Irfan. A future where they could be equals, where they could work together as a team.

She thought about how he used to talk to her, always with a tone of superiority and disdain. But today, he had spoken to her with kindness and respect. It was a small change.

As Irfan walked into his lavish living room, he was met with the worried faces of his entire family. His sister Noor called out to him, her voice laced with concern.

"Irfan, what's going on?" she asked, her eyes fixed on his.

Irfan stopped in his tracks, his eyes scanning the room. "What are you talking about, Noor?" he asked, his voice cautious.

Noor took a step forward, her hands shaking. "I just saw a video of you with Nadiya. What's going on, Irfan? You know our family doesn't approve of her."

Irfan's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in frustration. "I'm just helping her, Noor. She's in a difficult situation and I'm trying to help her out."

But before he could explain further, his father stepped forward, his face red with anger.

"You're helping her?" he thundered. "You're ruining our reputation, Irfan. Our family's name is being dragged through the mud because of your association with her."

Irfan's eyes flashed with defiance. "I'm not doing anything wrong, Father. I'm just trying to help someone in need."

His father's face twisted in anger. "You're a disappointment, Irfan. You're throwing away your future for some...some...girl."

Irfan's mother stepped forward, her voice calm but worried. "Irfan, please listen to your father. He's only thinking about what's best for our family."

But Irfan was unmoved. "I'm not going to abandon Nadiya, Mother. She needs my help and I'm going to give it to her."

His father's face turned purple with rage. "You're going to regret this, Irfan. You're going to regret the day you ever met her."

And with that, he slapped Irfan across the face. The room fell silent, the only sound the shocked gasps of Irfan's family.

Irfan's eyes watered, but he refused to back down. "You can't deny it, Father. I'm also in that video. You can't just sweep this under the rug."

His mother stepped forward, her voice pleading. "Irfan, please. I have connections. I can get you out of this. Just stop all this and let's forget it ever happened."

But Irfan was unmoved. "I didn't do anything wrong, Mother. I don't need anyone's help. I'll expose the person behind the video, no matter what it takes."

His father's face twisted in anger. "You're going to regret this, Irfan. You're going to regret the day you ever crossed me."

And with that, Irfan turned and stormed out of the room, leaving his family in a state of shock.
