love by chance

chapter 15

Nadiya and Nouf decided to take a break from the emotional turmoil and spend the day shopping, hoping to take their minds off things. They got dressed up, feeling like they needed a pick-me-up, and headed to the mall.

As they strolled through the corridors, Nadiya turned to Nouf and said, "I'm so glad we're doing this. I needed a distraction from all the drama."

Nouf nodded in agreement. "Me too. I was starting to feel like I was stuck in a rut. Let's focus on finding some amazing outfits and makeup today."

They spent the next few hours browsing through stores, trying on clothes, and giggling over silly things. Nadiya picked up a bright red dress and said, "What do you think? Should I get it?"

Nouf examined the dress and replied, "It's stunning! You'd look gorgeous in it. But are you sure you're ready for that much attention?"

Nadiya chuckled. "Why not? I need a confidence boost after everything that's happened."

As they continued shopping, they stumbled upon a makeup store. Nouf's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Oh my god, let's go in! I need some new eyeshadows."

Inside, they spent a good amount of time testing out different lipsticks and eyeshadows. Nadiya asked the sales associate for recommendations, and they ended up buying a few products.

As they left the store, Nouf turned to Nadiya and said, "You know, I've been thinking... maybe we should start a YouTube channel or something. We could do makeup tutorials and fashion hauls."

Nadiya's eyes lit up. "That's a fantastic idea! We could call it 'Sisters in Style' or something like that."

Nouf grinned. "I love it! Let's do it. We can use this as a way to express ourselves and have fun."

As they finished shopping and stepped out to find a rickshaw,  A group of rowdy boys surrounded them, trying to flirt with them shamelessly. Nadiya and Nouf exchanged fearful glances.

One of the boys dragged Nadiya's veil off her head, and she began shivering in fear. Nouf stood up to them, demanding they leave her sister alone.

Just as the situation was escalating, a figure emerged from the crowd. Irfan, with his strong hands and imposing build, grabbed the boy's wrist, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Leave her alone," Irfan growled.

The boys, taken aback, asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm her shadow, her shield, and her protector," Irfan replied, his voice firm. "As long as I'm here, you won't come near her."

Nadiya's eyes widened in shock and surprise. One of the boys sneered, "What will you do if we get close to her?"

Irfan's eyes flashed with fury. "I'll kill him."

The boys fled in terror as Irfan chased them off. He gently took Nadiya's veil and covered her with it, averting his gaze.

"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice softening.

Nadiya nodded, still shaken. Irfan turned to leave, but she caught his hand.

"Why are you helping me?" she asked, her voice filled with gratitude.

Irfan hesitated before responding, "You're special to me."

Nadiya's curiosity piqued, she pressed, "How am I special to you?"

Irfan tried to brush it off, but Nadiya insisted. Finally, he surrendered, "It's because... I love you."

Nadiya's heart skipped a beat. She stood there, speechless, as Irfan's words hung in the air.
