Heart legacy

7.Ayla's inner conflict

Hamza sat at his desk, assigning tasks to his team members and reviewing reports. Once he was done, he leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh of relief. Finally, some free time.

He pulled out his phone and dialed Ayla's number. "Hey, Ayla. I hope I'm not disturbing you."

Ayla's voice was warm and friendly. "Not at all, Hamza. I was just finishing up some work. How are you?"

Hamza got straight to the point. "I was thinking about Dadijaan's surgery. Have you made any plans for it yet?"

Ayla's tone turned confident. "Yeah, I've made a plan. I've scheduled the surgery for exactly one month from today."

Hamza's eyes widened in surprise. "One month? That's great! I wasn't expecting it to be that soon."

Ayla's voice was reassuring. "Don't worry, I've got everything under control. I've spoken to the doctors and they're all on board with the plan. We'll get Dadijaan the best care possible."

Hamza felt a sense of relief wash over him. "Thanks, Ayla. I really appreciate it. You're a lifesaver!"

Ayla laughed. "Anytime, Hamza. That's what friends are for!"

Hamza smiled, feeling grateful for Ayla's help. "So, what's the plan for the next month? Do we need to do anything to prepare for the surgery?"

Ayla's voice turned serious. "Yeah, we need to make sure Dadijaan gets plenty of rest and eats well. I'll send you a list of instructions. Just make sure she follows them okay?"

Hamza nodded, even though she couldn't see him. "Got it. I'll make sure she follows them to the letter."

Ayla's voice softened. "Thanks, Hamza .

Hamza: "Ayla, when are you planning to come to India? I want to book our tickets together so we can travel at the same time."

Ayla: "Ah, great question! I was thinking of coming a 2 week before the surgery, just to make sure everything is in place."Let me check... (pauses) Yeah, I'm planning to come on the 15th of next month." How about you?"

Hamza: "Great! "That works perfect for me! I'll book our tickets for the 15th. I'll send you the details once I've booked them."

Hamza: "Ayla, I'm glad we have a plan in place. But before I book the tickets, are there any other formalities we need to take care of?"

Ayla: "Actually, yes. I need to get my dad's permission to move out of the country for such a long time. He's always been a bit protective, so I want to make sure he's okay with it."

Hamza: "That makes sense. Do you think he'll be okay with it?"

Ayla: "I hope so. I'll talk to him tonight and let you know tomorrow. But I'm sure he'll be worried about me being away for so long." I'm not sure if he's going to agree to me going to India for the surgery. he's never been comfortable with me traveling abroad for more than a week, and this would be a 2 whole month! He's worried about me being so far away from home for so long."

Hamza: "I understand his concerns, but I think he will surely he can see how important this is for my Dadijaan's health?"

Ayla: "I know, I know... but he's just really hesitant"He loved me so much, he can't bear not seeing me, Marwan, even for a day. We're his only family after mom... He's always been so protective of me."

Hamza: "I understand. It's natural for him to feel that way. But maybe we can reassure him that you'll be safe with me in India? I'll make sure to take good care of you."

Ayla: "I hope so... I really want to be there for Dadijaan's surgery, but I also don't want to leave my dad worrying about me."

Hamza: "Let's talk to him together, okay? We'll figure out a way to make him feel comfortable with the idea. And if not, we can always video call him every day so he can see you're doing well."

Ayla: "That's a great idea, Hamza. Thank you for understanding.". And to be honest, I'm a bit doubtful myself. I've never been away from home for so long either."

Hamza: "Ayla, we'll figure it out together, okay? We'll make sure you're safe and comfortable in India. And think of how much it will mean to Dadijaan to have you there for her surgery."

Ayla: "I know... I just wish my dad would understand that."

Hamza: "I understand. Well, keep me posted on how the conversation goes. I don't want to book the tickets until we're sure everything is in place."

Ayla: "Will do. Thanks for understanding, Hamza."

Hamza: "Of course, Ayla. We're in this together. Let me know as soon as you've talked to your dad."

Ayla: "Sounds perfect! Thanks, Hamza. I'm really looking forward to seeing you and getting Dadijaan the help she needs."

Hamza: "Me too, Ayla. It'll be great to spend some time together and support Dadijaan through this tough time."

Hamza cut the call and leaned back in his chair, a smile still on his face as he thought about Ayla. He gazed at her image on his phone, imagining the time they would spend together in the future. He pictured them walking hand in hand, exploring new places, and laughing together.

But his daydreaming was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Sir, you have a meeting with the executives in 10 minutes," his secretary reminded him.

Hamza nodded, still lost in thought. "Make the meeting room ready, I'll be there in 5 minutes."

After his secretary left, Hamza gazed at Ayla's image again and sighed. "You've made me crazy in your love, Ayla. A workaholic like me, forgetting about work, imagining you... what have you done to me?"

Hamza gazed at Ayla's image on his phone, his eyes filled with longing. He couldn't help but smile as he thought about their future together.

"I promise you, Ayla," he whispered to himself, "soon you'll be with me, and we'll fulfill all our dreams in real life."

As he gazed at her image, his mind began to wander, and he drifted off into a daydream.

In his dream, he saw himself and Ayla walking hand in hand on a sunny beach, the waves crashing against the shore. They laughed and smiled, their eyes locked on each other.

He saw them exploring a beautiful city together, holding hands, and gazing up at the skyscrapers.

He saw them cuddled up on a couch, watching a sunset, and sharing a romantic dinner.

He saw them dancing under the stars, their bodies swaying to the music, their eyes shining with love.

Hamza's heart raced as he imagined these moments with Ayla. He couldn't wait to make them a reality.

"Soon, my love," he whispered to himself, "we'll make all these dreams come true."

As he snapped back to reality, he smiled, feeling a sense of hope and excitement for their future together.

He chuckled to himself, shaking his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe how much Ayla had already changed him.

Hamza sighed, pulling himself back to reality. "I could spend eternity daydreaming about us, Ayla," he thought to himself, "but I need to focus on work now."

He put his phone away and stood up, straightening his tie and heading to the meeting room. "Time to be a responsible CEO," he told himself.

As he walked, he felt a sense of determination wash over him. He knew he had to stay focused and work hard to achieve his goals, not just for himself and their future together.

"I'll make it happen, Ayla," he whispered to himself. "I'll work hard and make sure my dreams become a reality."

With a newfound sense of purpose, Hamza entered the meeting room, ready to tackle the challenges ahead.
He was ready to tackle the business at hand, but his mind kept wandering back to Ayla.
