Nadiya stepped into her home, exhausted but relieved. Her father, Rashid, spotted her first.
"Nadiya is home!" he shouted, announcing her arrival to the rest of the family.
Nadiya rushed into his arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Father!" she sobbed, embracing him tightly.
Mister Ahmad wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.
"My baby's home," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion.
The rest of the family gathered around, tears of joy welling up in their eyes. Nadiya's mother, Aisha, pushed through the crowd.
"Are you alright, my baby?" Aisha asked, kissing Nadiya's forehead.
Nadiya nodded, still sniffling.
"I'm alright, Mom," she replied, hugging Aisha tightly.
Nouf, Nadiya's sister, approached next.
"Are you alright, sis?" Nouf asked.
Nadiya smiled weakly.
"Yes, Noufy, I'm fine," she replied, embracing Nouf.
Nouf held her close.
"We're so glad you're home," Nouf whispered.
Aisha guided Nadiya to a nearby chair.
"Sit down, dear. You must be exhausted," Aisha said.
Nadiya sank into the chair, surrounded by her loving family.
"We were so worried about you," mister Ahmad said.
Nadiya's eyes met her father's.
"I'm sorry, Father. I didn't mean to worry you," Nadiya said.
Mister Ahmad's expression softened.
"We just want you safe and happy, Nadiya," he replied.
As the family hugged her, Nadiya felt a sense of belonging and love wash over her.
Nadiya fidgeted with her hands.
"Dad, I want to tell you something," Nadiya said.
Mister Ahmad looked up .
"Yes, go on," he encouraged.
Nadiya's voice barely above a whisper.
"Irfan's parents are coming tomorrow to ask for my hand in marriage."
Her face flushed.
Feeling shy, Nadiya glanced down.
Before mister Ahmad could respond, Nouf burst into excitement.
"OMG! You mean you accepted Irfan's proposal? And you two already decided to get married? That's sudden! But I'm so happy for you both! Oh my God, I can't wait to anticipate the nuptials!"
Nouf hugged Nadiya tightly.
Nadiya smiled.
"Thanks, Nouf."
Aisha beamed.
"That's wonderful news! Irfan is a good man. He saved you from those goons, and now you two are getting married. That's truly amazing."
Mister Ahmad nodded.
"It's a sudden decision, but I'm sure Irfan is a good match for you. We'll be forever grateful to him for saving you. He's done us a big favor."
Nadiya's eyes met her father's.
"I know, Dad. I love him," Nadiya said.
Mister Ahmad's expression softened.
