The gentle caress of a cool breeze invigorated my skin, while the soothing rustle of wind eased my racing heart. The aroma of love enveloped my senses, creating a welcoming and rejuvenating atmosphere.

As I took a deep breath, I struggled to find additional words to articulate the experience. Serpents slithered around my waist, tightening their hold and asserting their dominance. Despite my efforts, I could not maintain a serious expression as a wide grin spread across my face, relishing in the leisurely sloth snuggling into the curve of my neck, making itself comfortable.

I felt his slow and gentle breaths against my sensitive skin, causing my own breathing to quicken. I leaned my head against his and wrapped my hands around him, cherishing the moment and fully immersing myself in it while I still could.

We both were children when our parents decided to make us as one.... We never knew how or when we fell in love, maybe it was the way he treated me, or the way he gazed at me, or the way he respected me, or maybe the way he supported me everything was way too pretty for me to not fall in love with him. Everything changed suddenly when he moved abroad.

It felt as if he had forgotten about me, as there were no more late night talks, 'I love you' messages, video calls, or' miss you'. However, everything suddenly changed upon his return from Canada. The bond we had is blurred only crumbles left for me to pick up...I don't know what happened, but I'm still not giving up on him or my love for him.

As his fingers tightened around my waist, I felt an even stronger connection between us, causing my hazel eyes to meet his intense black gaze. The reflection of my love for him was evident, revealing the depth of my feelings as I continued to fall for this man. With a gentle touch, his crooked nose brushed against my cheek, caressing it tenderly and eliciting a soft hum from me. In no time, his slender lips found their way to my ear.

"I love you inaya..."

The soft whisper was enough to propel me to heaven. His heart beating behind my back wildly-

OH GOD IS HE GOING TO KISS ME ?

OH FOK  YE-

"GET UP THIS INSTANT OR I SWEAR TO GOD ILL MURDER YOUR ASS INTO THOUSANDS OF PISCES AND SHOVE THEM DOEN TO CROWS!!!!"

My eyes forcefully open, resembling dark poison, while my mouth widens, greedily taking in as much oxygen as possible. In an instant, my body springs into a sitting position, as if it were on high alert. With my heart pounding furiously, my mouth continues to open and close, resembling the gasps of a dying person. Water cascades down my face, drenching my neck, causing my hazel eyes to shift westward, where I notice my once pristine white silk shirt now soaked from the mistreatment inflicted by the responsible party.

'huh.... Sonay bhi nahi deti!'

A single glance in her direction was met with a piercing glare, indicating that our morning conflict had already begun.

'Way to start the day..'

"Who's room is this? Mine!! Who goes to work and earn money? Me! Who will rest as much as they want? Period. Offcourse ME bitch"

Groaning in irritation I rubbed my eyes off from the waterfall.

The abrupt tug on my blanket resulted in it being snatched away from my legs and landing in the hands of the perpetrator. This incident compelled me to express my disdain towards the individual.

wow!!!

This girl is.....

DEAD!!!

"Baba-ji is waiting downstairs for you to wakeup so that we can have a family breakfast but unfortunately-"

Glaring my way again like she is older than me continued,

"Thanks to you breakfast has been finished so he requests, for you to get your ass up so we can atleast have a lunch together"

Giving me stern voice she started to fold my bedsheet.

Heaving a deep sigh I closed my eyes trying to get my morning temper hormones undercontrol.

"By the way.." I started getting up holding the white silk of my shirt a bit at distance as to not let it cover to my chest showing my breasts off.

"Thhe saying ends with vultures not crows"

"Huh? Wait ...what?"

Confused, she stared at me until it clicked what I was talking about which she let her lips in a forced smile lifting her both hands up. Maybe as to apologize..?

'Yeah you dumbass'

This bitch ain't apologizing, her both hands are closed in a fist except for the middle finger which she pushed in my face saying a big loud  FUCK.OFF

Scoffing loudly I rolled my eyes and made my way to bathroom. But before that I never forgot to open my palms of both hnds and giving starlight lanat to her.

'Zahir hai, kisi Kay liy ungli tehri karni parti hai'

Upon entering my bathroom, I find myself gazing at my own reflection. My wavy ash brown hair, cascading down to my waist, is currently in disarray. My pale face lacks vibrancy, with thick eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, hazel irises, a button-like nose, and round lips that are nothing like Selena's.

Letting out a sigh, I choose to ignore my reflection and proceed to turn on the faucet, splashing water onto my face. Despite already being soaked earlier, I still feel the need to satisfy my heart, hence why I find myself here.

After attending to my needs and changing into a plain white pajama and kameez, accompanied by a chiffon dupatta, I leave my hair down. I apply a touch of lip balm and a hint of blush on my cheeks, completing my look with a touch of mascara on my delicate lashes.

Making my way out of the room to the dinning table I hurridly grabbed my mobile phone and rushed down the stairs to eat 'lunch'.

"Aslamolikum Baba."

My voice rang loudly as I made my way to my baba who was already seated around the table with his newspaper in his hands.

Hearing my voice he immediately folded the newspaper and placed it on table while I made my way to him to give daughter morning kiss.

"Walikuma Salam beta and good morning too. Come sit and have a breakfast, while offcouse we have a little lunch."

I smiled and pecked his cheek once again.

Grabbing the chair on babas right side I made my ass seated.

"Alizay beta khana lay aoo"

Dad shouted while passing the plated to me.

"Inaya you should have got up early to help her...my poor child is working from the morning"

Shaking his head at me he leaned back in the chair.

At this point I knew I was being scolded but did it mattered to my brain cells ?

Offcourse not.

I grinned in return and started to drum my hands on the table like a musician raping it's song.

"Yah lay baba apki chai"

Placing the tray on the table, alizay started to remove every item and place it neatly on the table.

"Thank you mam for your service"

Scoffing at my comment she replied,  "Shut up and eat!!! it's already 1, and we had plans to meet so hurry up. We leaving in 10-"

"Are you both going somewhere???"

dad questioned cutting alizay mid sentence.

Alizay glanced at me glaring me to tell baba,

But me being me I glared back tenfold telling her through my eyes, I AM OLDER THAN YOU OBEY ME OR YOU DIE.

Sighing lightly she turned to Baba who was waiting for our reply in anticipation.

"Uh actually Baba-ji , there is this friend of mine and it's her birthday today so we both decided to buy her a gift and surprise her"

"Which freind..?"

Gulping loudly she looked at me and I gave her my most threatening look. She glared back hundred fold while she replied, "Baba-ji it's Inaya's college...... I met her through inaya....and know we are good friends"

She lied like a pro like even I'm smiling even though I look like a pure dash I still don't care I'll SMILE.

"Oh...."

"So...Baba can we go right?"

I asked wanting to get done with this permission thing. I hate it, like I'm not some 16 year old girl which will get kidnap for gods sake.

Glancing towards both of us he sighed and took out his HBL-card from the pocket of his kameez.

Seeing the card my smile widened as I hurridely stood up from my seat giving my father hug. Alizay following my steps.

"THANKS BABA-JANI"

"Drive safely and be back vefore 10. Inaya.."

"Yeah..?"

"Don't do anything stupid. "

rolling my eyes I pecked his cheek and replied, "Yeah yeah dad I know I'm not a kid anymore... I promise won't do anything "

"It better be like that."

Giving him tight lined smile I grabbed Alizays hand and practically dragged her out the door towrds our waiting Alto.

°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°

After completing our shopping and preparing ourselves at the parlor, we emerged as supermodels. If we were to be compared to Selena or Zendaya, it is evident that they would be the ones to lose, not us girls.

Stuffing our home cloths in the back seat of car we started the engine and drove to our main destination.

°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°

Stopping at hamza's house I grabbed the spare key that he gave me years ago and opened the door for us to enter.

Entering his house we were instantly met with darkness. As alizay flipped the lights on his small lounge came into view.

"Let the party begin I guess"

"Yeah"

Muttering a reply alizay made her way to the bags of decoration things in it.

Smiling I stepped forward to help along.

Yeah you guessed perfectly right, there's no coluge of mine. It's hamza birthday and we both are here to give him surprise.

°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°

Done with all the decorations we sat on the sofa breathing heavely.

"Do you think this was a good idea?"

Alizay questioned looking towards me seeking an answer, but what should I be answering...I'm unsure myself. Sometimes I think I have the perfect right over him after all he is my fiance bit the other part of my brain fights me, explaining I'm being an over burden for him to handle.

"I don't know yarr..."

As my soft voice filled the room a beep sound came, alerting us on to our two feet and immediatly grin surfaced on my face.

As the door opened I was met with my fiance the same person I have lied to baba for, the same person I loved to ends.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"

alizay and mine voice resonated the whole lounge as startled Hamza looked up with wide eyes and mouth open in surprise.

His white shirt stick to his body like a secound skin matched with black cargo pants

Looking like soldier of to kill my heart

'Uffff'

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTYDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"

"WOOOOOO"

Me and both alizay grinned while hyping our voices to show our excitement.

Hamza smiled coming forward and hugging both of us from each side.

"Thank you guys....this is wonderfully..."

Chuckling he looked around the balloons and lights that were decorated by me and alizay.

Then he glanced at alizay and then at me giving us a small smile he nodded his head.

"Thanks again now what can I do for my guests..?"

I chuckled while alizay replied, "let's cut the cake and then watch a movie"

Sitting down on the carpet we placed the cake infront and Hamza started to cut the cake in piece.

"Oh wait wait-

I stopped his hand that was ready to slice the cake off

"Aren't you going to make a wish..?"

Shaking his head he closed his eyes and after few moments opened them again the first thing I wished he would see opening his eyes would be me ...but it's alright as he glanced towards alizay abd then down to cut the cake.

After feeding little piece to both of us we placed some popcorns and selected on a horror movie to watch.

I'm partially not interested in a movie right know all I'm inteeseted is seeing Hamza laugh when alizay got scared or when he smiles when horror scene comes up or when he chews on his bottom lip with full concentration.

Not knowing or caring I placed my head on both my arms and stared openly at Hamza.

And like that soon my eyes drifted shut into my dream land.

°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°

Cold prickled my skin making me to rub my arms and try to cover myself with a blanket but when I try find a bedsheet I was met with cool surface of carpet.

My eyes shot open making me look down and coming back to senses.

This is hamza house and we were watching a movie but as I looked around I found no one beside me. Groaning I got up.

Ignoring the way my muscle cramped due to sitting in that awkward position for God knows how long I made my way to check on both of them.

'Did they ditched me and went off to eat ice cream?'

'HUH HOW DARE THEY'

searching the whole house and founding no one really made me lose my brain cells.

Proving my ice cream theory correct.

'I can't believe they both left me because I was sleeping'

With a sad heart and gloomy face I made my way to garden atleast fresh air would calm me.

As I made my way towards the door to enter garden I saw two shadows far away from the house in dark. Frowning at them I slowly and cautiously walked a little closer until missing people came into view.

"What are they doing there ..?!"

I mumbled to myself  while flowing at the way hamza was reacting. Hands actions head turning from side to side ...

"What's happening..?"

As I walked closer I started to heard the voices clearly.

And to be honest I regretted the momemnt that voice reached me.

I wished I was sleeping the whole time.

I wished I never opened my eyes or came out.

"I love you alizay plz just listen me once I truly love you when I first saw you on airport with Inaya I fell for you ... You are truly a little chocolate for me which is always pretty and sweet I tr-"

"Just shut it Hamza are you out of your mind or should I give some piece of my brain to you OHH yeah I think I should bcz you are crazy "

'Love...alizay?...how...when....then me...'

Nothing was making sense to me, it felt like my ears were deaf my heart stopping to announce its death, my brain blank and my eyes hazy.

"Why alizay is loving you makes me crazy? Is falling for you make me crazy?... Answer me"

His angry voice sounded more louder than before while holding alizays arms in tight grip, which were suddenly ripped out of hamza's hand as she faced him

"No but being fiance of inaya makes you crazy !!!being with her and while loving me is crazy !!!! Are you literally taking drugs or what have you lost it why can't you understand that stupid inaya is loving you and trusting you with all of her life and here Mr hamza Ali is ditching her while loving her best friend wow can't belie-!"

I was just standing there pathetically watching both of them. As if world has stopped and I'm no more than a ghost.

I saw the moment alizay shouting back and the other moment hamza gripping the back of her head and slaming his lips down on her.

My eyes widen as the sudden shock came crushing back with full force.

As my body went on full flight mode I hurridly turned my back to them and forced my legs to take me away from here.

One by one Tears kept flowing like a river, making a sob come out of my dry throat.

Pathetic. That was oy thing I felt.

Even thought I kept moving back I still could hear them correctly, haunting me, stopping me from moving, tiger voice like a pillar in my way.

"Go away Hamza I'm loyal to inaya I'll never love you and like you !!!"

"INYA INYA INYA!!!!! JUST SHUT IT SAYING HER NAME WHY CANT YOU UNDERSTAND I DONT LOVE HER YES I ADMIT WE ARE ENGAGED BUT NOT MARRIED RIGHT-IT CAN BE BROKEN-"

And my legs stopped.

My heart stopped

My eyes stopped.

My brain stopped

Everything in me just came to pause.

"I don't know but I just love you not her when I'm with you I feel like my world becoming lost it feels like I just want to listen you see you hear you I don't know I feel nervous around you Uh my mind goes crazy around you alizay .... I just ... Love.. you I ... Really ... Love ... You. .......why can't you understand inya is no one to me she means nothing....she is just a pain in my ass......she is no one like you ....and I just love YOU"

That's it those words were like daggers to my heart, slap to my face.

I was a pain in the ass along

I WAS THE PAIN

IN HIS ASS

ALONG

I can't stand anymore i can't, it all started to make sense know. Oh how naive of me. Never i million years would I have thought that Hamza change with me was because of this.

He was the one ditching me all this time.

He was the one playing with my feelings all this time.

He was the one making ME look like a pain in the ass

'WOOH'

'HATS FUCKING OFF TO HIM"

My head was burning with the sudden rush of blood, my eyes burn with tears threatening to fall anytime while my body felt like it was run off by some car thousands of time.

I couldn't stand this anymore. Standing in open area yet made me feel to throw up. Everything started to suffocate me.

Hurridly walking back I rushed to the guest room of this fuckers house.

Not being able to watch myself I just splashed the cold water and tried to calm my nerves down.

'Stop it inaya...please stop it'

'I know you can'

'Be strong'

Trying to explain myself and holding those pathetic salty tears at bay I tried to Inhale and Exhale openly but still a traitor tear fell from my right eye along with the others.

"YOU know what? Fuck this!"

Without another thought i opened the door made my way to the place I was sleeping grabbed my phone car keys and bags.

Turning the knob of the door I let myself out of this bastards house while placing the extra key that he gave me on the same place where he keeps his other locker key.

Siting in the car I didn't thought twice, starting the enging I took off towards my house away from this, away from everything.

This pain was unbearable.

The pain of being cheated.

The pain of being rejected.

The pain of being hurt.

The pain of betrayal.

This all was too much.

How could he do this ?

Hamzas words started to ring in my mind like Christmas bells..

"Ilove you alizay"

"I don't love inya"

"We are engaged not married "

"It can be broken right"

"She is a pain in my ass"

"JUST SHUT UP...."

Stepping on the brakes car came to a complete stop on empty road.

My hands left the steering wheel as my head dropped on it. No energy left in me to go any further

Empty road or fear of being robbed was least of my worries at the moment.

My hands came up plying my elbows on the sterring wheel as to cover my ears to stop those words from hearing but it was like songs playing out aloud...

"JUST....SHUT ...UP.."

I said while lifting my knees towards my chest on the seat as keeping my head on my arms I stared out the window into nothing.

The windows of this car was tinted black so no one could see me siting like a lost pathetic girl.

"Why ....why? ...ALLAH MIA WHY?"

A whisper left from my lips.

My voice cracked from all the heaviness in my heart, desperatelytrying to gain some peace in his hold.

I cried letting my heart pour in those tears

I cried telling Allah what is happening

I cried thinking why me ..?

As I reluctantly opened my tired eyes, I was greeted by the gentle glow of sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains adorning my windows. Letting out a weary sigh, I delicately ran my slender fingers through the silky strands of my ash brown hair, relishing in their velvety texture against my skin. Gathering a handful of hair, I skillfully twisted it into a haphazard bun, all the while releasing a fatigued yawn from my lips.

My throat felt dry like a sandpaper whereas sudden pounding in my head started making me hiss in reply. Rubbing my eyes, in order to clear the haze around those hazel orbs I stretched both my arms trying to shrug off the exhaustion that suddenly felt on my-

"I love you alizay plz-"

"JUST SHUT IT SAYING HER NAME-"

"WHY CANT YOU UNDERSTAND I DON'T LOVE HER-"

"WE ARE ENGAGED BUT NOT MARRIED RIGHT-IT CAN BE BROKEN-"

My head felt heavy as all the blood came rushing into it for even mere thinking about yesterday's incident.

It felt like my nerves had been ripped out of my brain. letting reality hit me with a thousand fold. The betrayal, the pain, the insult, the humiliation, everything hurt me like a hammer stuck in my heart. Memories that I wanted to forget, Memories that I wanted never to return came all back at once bitting me on the ass.

Tears again welled up in my eyes, not letting me forget anything just for even a minute.

My breaths became shallow, as it hurt to keep a sob inside of me. My lips quiver while a traitorous tear made its way down my right cheek.

Last night was tough for me. Hell I didn't even wanted to come back home and meet Baba.

But nothing happens the way you wish and I realized this the hard way.

Exhaling loudly, I closed my eyes not trusting the tears of mine at all. Running the palm of my hand down my face I angrily Wiped away pathetic tears with the back of my hand and roughly threw the blankets off of me.

Slipping my feet into slippers I made my way to bathroom to do my business but as soon as I entered my legs Stopped moving further as my hazel orbs locked its stare on the most horrible thing I have ever seen.

The previously smooth hair now appeared disheveled as if it had been pulled from its roots countless times.

The formerly lustrous hazel eyes now appeared lackluster and brown.

The once vibrant lips, adorned with lipstick, now appeared dry and swollen.

The rosy cheeks that once boasted a crimson hue now appeared gloomy and lifeless.

'Is that even..me..?'

'How can a person change just overnight?'

That wasn't me

That obviously wasn't me

Closing my eyes I let my mind relax trying to defense myself in a positive way but hell nothing was positive the way i look.

hands lifted up on there own accord as to see if that is what it is...

As those slender fingers of mine cupped both of my cheeks on either side and my face formed its shape into pout I knew that nothing is dreamy anymore. Everything is real and hard.

Hamza left me.

He broke me.

My love was a lie.

It was A LIE.

It was all true.

Tears welled up in my eyes once again, causing a burning sensation. Simultaneously, my chin and lips began to tremble. The pressure on my chest made it difficult to breathe, as if it were being constricted. I looked down with teary eyes, observing my trembling hands. I turned them around, aware of what was happening in the depths of my mind. My body started to shake uncontrollably, rendering me unable to stand. My legs gave way, and I collapsed onto the black tiled floor of my bathroom. Curling up into a ball, I wrapped my arms around myself, attempting to make myself appear smaller amidst the harshness of life. With closed eyes and a lowered face, a sob escaped my lips, intensifying the tightness in my chest.

"Inaya-"

I could hear someone taking my name but my body refused to acknowledge it.

"Inaya..-"

Overwhelmed by pain, I let out a grunt, my breaths shallow and labored. The pounding in my head grew more intense, leaving me disoriented and unable to comprehend my surroundings, including the voice that beckoned me.

"Sherni-"

"You promised me you'll never cry then why are you crying now?"

Suddenly I could sense it in my brain like a tattoo.

That word was what mama used to call me. The sweet angelic voice.

"Why Sherni-?"

That voice..?

It caused my body to jerk with energy that I never felt before. My panic subsiding as my head jerked itself up causing me to instantly stop with my sorrow.

'mama..?'

Dry whisper left from my parched lips with so much emotions all hiting at once.

Trying to wipe the blurriness around my pain filled orbs with the back of my hand I instantly Jersey my head in all directions trying to locate where the voice was coming from but everything looked like as before.

Same mirror, same shower head, same tiled walls nothing more nothing less.

Maybe the pain was affecting me more deep than I thought or maybe I was being delulu

Heaving a heavy sigh I closed my eyes as I whispered quietly with in these four walls.

"maa......I miss you. You must be disappointed in me right now...-

Sarcastic chuckle left my lips as I continue

"For me crying over some boy....but mama.....I...loved..him"

I silently sobbed as Tears never get tired of flowing on their own from my doe like eyes as everything repeated in my mind again and again like a mantra .

It was hard to believe the truth....

It was hard to accept the reality...

It was really hard to digest for me.....

"Hamza shattered my heart in million of piece's just like a broken mirror, how dare he mama? How dare he. why mom why it happened to me ? was I really not his level type was there any fault in me....was I really not worthy of love from the start?"

I cried whole heartily while still sitting in that position.

"You are worthy of everything my sherni!! Just be patient and trust Allah for Everything...."

That voice penetrated my mind once again with its sweet yet warm comforting wrapping me in peace.

I want her here with me, wishing nothing more to hug her tightly and complain all the things happening to me like a child giving a tantrum.

As I slowly opened my swollen eyes and blinked rapidly, I exerted the strength of my hands to lift my body and confront the girl who was crumbling like a helpless child. Fixing my gaze upon my own lifeless reflection, I observed my soul staring back at me. I reached out and turned on the tap, allowing the water to collect in my palms before splashing it onto my face. The refreshing coolness of the water soothed my previously weary skin, bringing a sense of contentment to my heart.

After repeatedly splashing water on my face and regaining composure, I closed the tab and allowed my hands to rest on the marble surface. Reflecting upon myself, I focused my gaze with greater determination. I made a solemn vow to never let tears escape my eyes ever again. I resolved never to shed a tear over a man, and furthermore, I swore never to allow anyone to manipulate me like a leech ever again.

"I hate you for making me love you.

I hate you for ditching me. I hate you for breaking my heart. I hate you for everything. I'm not weak."

Mumbling to myself while hardening hazel orbs more I let heavy sigh again escaped me this time relaxing me entirely.

After washing my face again to get ride from those puffy eyes i got ready to go continue with my life.

°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°

Exiting the security of my bathroom into a casual dress I closed the door behind me and started to make my way towards my bed to grab my belongings but my breath hitched as soon as my eyes locked with the one's I was trying to run.

There she sat with her arms folded on her chest. Giving me angry stare.

Her brown orbs stare right back with so much anger that I gave a second thought If to run back to the security of my marble tile room.

"Thinking how I came here?"

Her angry voice laced with hurt and mockery made me stop the running thoughts around my head.

I Furrowed my eyebrows together in confusion as to what was she trying to imply on my innocent self as to it should be another way around but sudden realization dawned in my mind

"Oh fuck-"

"Exactly. Oh fuck."

Standing up angrily she started to make her way towards me.

Where as I stood lip tight not being able to defend myself even though I shouldn't have left her behind in my broken state

So oh Fuck two times.

"How could you inaya?"

" I though we were best friends, sisters never to felt apart and you did the exact opposite of it-like really was the only thing you could come up with. You could have taken a knife and stabbed me in heart and I would love that more than that style of yours"

Sighing for the hundred time in the morning, I mumbled "sorry"

"Uh-Sorry ...what? That's it.?"

"What do you want? Lick your shoes, pray your mighty self after what I witness I guess that would be the wise decision for me to do"

Scoffing unlady like she glared at me.

"Why the fuck are you being angry with me ? That wasn't my fault I reject-

Rising my hand I stopped her midsentence

"Look alizay I'm already going through alot and to be honest I really don't want to argue you early in the morning so let's just behave like it never happened."

Giving me a disappointed stare she made her way back to the door to exit my room.

"Thanks to you I had I explained Baba that you were not feeling well indicating you were on your monthly periods so Baba told me to tell you take a day off from hospital."

Shaking my head at my rudeness towards her I just made my way towards my bed and grabbed my belongings. I partially can't deal with myself I need to sort out my thoughts first or god knows what'll I'll do.

Unlocking my phone I stare at the screen.

Several missed calls from 'hamza♡' showed on notification bar along with many msgs making me scowl in displeasure.

'Fuck you'

Opening his contact I directly tabed the blocked button and felt peace in my heart along with my mind.

Step number 1 done.

°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°

"Oh you're up there, alizay told me you weren't feeling good enough and came early ?"

Stepping the last stair I heard Babas voice question me, making me glance at him with a forced smile

"Ji Baba my body was aching and bad headache nothing important for you to worry. Just take care of yourself ok?"

Smiling I gave him a hug which he replied by placing a peck on my forehead.

"Baba today I'll be late so be sure to let alizay know"

" I would say take a rest but afforded your duty comes first"

Smiling at him I made my way towards the door.

°♡°♡°♡°♡°♡°

Entering the city hospital, I was greeted by the pristine white walls adorned with informative charts and diet posters. Along the walls, benches were placed for individuals to patiently wait for their turn. Numerous rooms were lined on both sides, each with a number plate on its wooden door.

As I made my way through the room, I reached room 243, also known as the staff room.

"Good morning, Dr. Inya," my boss's stoic voice startled me, causing me to look up and meet his piercing gaze.

My boss, who was in his late 50s, had a appearance that easily revealed his age. His grumpy nose held his glasses firmly, while his lips were always set in a thin line. The excess weight he carried seemed to accumulate in his stomach, giving him the appearance of being five months pregnant.

"What a way to start the day," I thought to myself. "My luck is truly terrible."

"Good morning, sir," I replied politely, offering a small smile as I stepped further into the room.

"Dr. Inaya, you're late as always," he remarked, glancing at his wristwatch and then directing his stern gaze back at me.

"Well, sir, I'm truly sorry... there was heavy traffic, you know," I mumbled quietly, hoping he would believe my excuse.

Shaking his head in disbelief, he continued in his stoic voice, "Dr. Inaya, I came here to inform you about some arrangements made by the higher-ups. You have been selected for a field trip along with other intern doctors to gain future experience. We are scheduled to leave for London in two days, so please clear your schedule and inform your parents. Hopefully, there won't be any complications."

The news left me speechless. Wow.

"There is an event organized by the Pediatric Cancer Health Organization, and several billionaires will be attending to donate money. We have been given the opportunity to organize this event, which is why half of our staff, including you, will be going," Dr. Aslam explained, looking at me expectantly. I nodded along, silently urging him to finish and leave. I understood now. Shoo.

"Make sure you submit your passport and other important documents by tomorrow. Have a nice day."

As he uttered those words, he strolled by me, causing a wide grin to spread across my face. I couldn't help but steal a quick glance at Ramsha, my coworker, who reciprocated with a playful wink and mirrored my elated expression.

It seems my life has been filled with quite a bit of excitement lately. Hopefully, I won't encounter any further dramatic episodes in the days to come.
