Lost in Shadows: The Girl Who Yearned for Belonging

~ Little crush 🌙

Ek hi shakhs ki toh baat hai maula,
Saara jahan kis ne manga hai."

Azlaan rubbes his temples not able to control his thoughts in short words he is frustrated. Why the hell he has been thinking about a mere newbie why? What does she has to do with him? Okay her name is similar to the love he loves but she isn't her right!!

Taking a deep breath he looked at the clock when indicates 8:30 pm everyone must have gone their homes but he didn't want to go just to meet loneliness silence.

Why couldn't he have parents like javeria and junaid? They prioritise their children out of anything but his parents prioritise everything except their childrens. He was lost in his thoughts when his bestfriend barged in

"Let's go mamma had called you for dinner" he said and he got up taking his belongings. He feels like he have stayed more in sheikh's villa more than his own house. What can they do the love they carved from thier parents they got from them.

Entering the villa he greeted everyone who greeted back smiling at him sara was also already present. He went to get freshen up as he have a room here ofc as well as some comfortable clothes changing into them he came back. Everyone got settled in the dinning table everyone served themselves. He and zayyan was tired after the drama in the office already they have a lot of work to complete before wedding and this ahsan created more trouble.

"Everything okay? Azlaan and Zayyan?" Junaid asked noticing their dull faces

"Nothing chachajaan just office drama" azlaan replied eating his food

"Yes papa this ahsan is getting on my nerves now" zayyan said in an irritated tone

"What he did again bhai?" Zaid asked confused ahsan is son of one of their relatives and junaid make him to join their company as he was good at financial management but he did give the job of assistant financial manager to someone he knows but he was doing corrupt stealing money they found out and fired the friend of him as ahsan said he had nothing to do with him and his corruption

"I picked a fight against the new assistant financial manager" azlaan said in his cold tone and sara head snapped towards him before anyone could say

"He picked a fight against zara?" Sara asked in slight anger silence take place in the dinning room hearing the name sara realised and looked around biting her lips

"Yes but she fought back that's quite impressive" zayyan said breaking the silence while everyone looked at them confused except azlaan

"Zara siddique she joined as assistant financial manager and is the same girl she met at her friends" azlaan said pointing towards sara clearing thier confusion

"Whatever he did very wrong it was her first day you chachi jaan she is so cute and full of life she can make anyone with only her smile" sara said happily and others again started eating thier food

"So you got new friend?" Junaid asked Sara who nodded

"Yes chacha jaan infact two friends she and her childhood bestfriend ayaan he is a total gentleman type" sara said excitedly making others smile atleast they have Sara who lighten their heavy hearts

"How is he at work bhai? I mean professionally when I met him he was so careless and joked around like zain bhaiya" Sara asked looking at azlaan and then zain who brightly smiled
