She loved him. He loved another. She was ready to die for him. He pretended to be oblivious to that. She was crazy for him. He was crazy for the other girl, but not the mad kind of crazy like she was. She was determined to get to her destination but at the same time immature, hot- headed, sweet, and carefree. A weird combination, right? But what happens when you set the wrong destination for yourself? You lose, right? But she was not the one to accept defeat. She was a determined girl and loved challenges. He was mature but not enough to see what was the best for him. It wasn't even her fault that she couldn't see any other man except him. His name was Aaamir Sheikh. Her name was Areesha Aftab. Aamir fell for the other girl Shazre. It was like love at first sight. Her mother taught her not to look at any man- not because it was prohibited in islam- rather because she was reserved for him. Her mother didn't teach her religion. No one cared about her. All they cared about was that she married him as there had been some promises made in the past that were yet to be revealed to her. What had destiny planned for Areesha? Was Aamir Sheikh the one for her as her mother had always said or was there someone out there waiting for her to pick up her broken pieces, fix her shattered heart, teach the real meaning of love and cherish her like no other. Was that 'someone's' name Fawad Ali, the famous business man whom Areesha worked for or was he the same Aamir Sheikh with whom her name was always tied up? Will Areesha make the right desicion in choosing him? Read to find out more in Choosing Him #20 in spiritual (6-5-2017) Cover by @ItsFirstMalaika

Mehek wished she was a coward like her best friend Nandini or a liar like her husband Kunal; correction former best friend and ex-husband. She smirked at her folly. It's been an year and still she mistakes them as her own. All that was left for her was her career and her family which was her sister, Nehal & brother-in-law, Vicky.

She wished it could help her to overcome her mental agony. In her emotional turmoil , she didn't notice an expensive sedan halting behind her until the passenger called out her name, "Ms Mehek Sharma". She was jolted from her trance as she turned to face him. "Mehek", his voice sounded much softer now , laced with care. Mehek was able to recognize him now. It was Shaurya. Mr Shaurya Khanna, the most infamous rich bachelor entrepreneur in the city. Shaurya quickly marched towards her. He felt pity for her condition and quickly took off his expensive jacket to cover her body. Although he was the last person she wished to meet, Mehek was so torn that she wept and fell on to his chest for comfort. "It's okay, Mehek", he patted to calm her. His trusted right hand, Awara was already beside them, holding an umbrella to cover them from rain. Shauyra slowly maneuvered Mehek towards his car and made her sit beside him.
