Next day

At Alen Mansion

The room is filled with the murmurs of conversation as the Malik family settles in.

Mrs Malik

Zara, you look… strong. But maybe try something softer next time, dear. *scoff*

zara Alen (FL)

Sure Mrs Malik. *fake smile*

zara Alen (FL)

"Now what softer they want " *roll the eyes*

Daniel Alen (FL Dad)

Show some manners. You’ve made them wait long enough. *show her eye roll*

Rayaan Malik

Is this how you dress now? Leaving your shirt wide open like that? Have you forgotten that a woman’s body is meant to be hidden, not put on display for the world to stare at? *scoff*

Daniel Alen (FL Dad)

Say sorry to him *whisper to Zara *

zara Alen (FL)

*fake smile* Sorry Rayaan

Rayaan Malik

we are not even engaged and already using my name *scoff*

zara Alen (FL)

Using??

Daniel Alen (FL Dad)

Shut up *angrily*

Daniel Alen (FL Dad)

Say sorry to Rayaan * side eyes , angrily*

zara Alen (FL)

Sorry Mrs Malik and Mr Malik *controlling the anger*

Mrs Malik

That's like a good woman

Mrs Malik

We know you're a little older now—29, right? But that's okay, we’re very understanding people. Just a little more dowry and everything can be settled beautifully.

zara Alen (FL)

Wow, 29 and needs dowry? Impressive. You must be running a charity, not looking for a wife. Sadly, I’m not up for sale—try the next desperate girl on your list. *calm tone*

Mrs Malik

Mr. Alen, this is the kind of unruly girl you've raised? Talking back, showing herself off—no wonder she’s still sitting at home unmarried. In our family, women know their place. *left from there*

zara Alen (FL)

If knowing my worth makes me 'unruly,' then maybe your family isn’t looking for a wife—they’re looking for a doormat. Sorry to disappoint.

Daniel Alen (FL Dad)

SHUT UP Can’t you just keep your mouth shut for once? You’re a disgrace to this family—always have been. Why is it so hard for you to act like a decent, obedient girl for once in your life?why can't you act like a girl for once ? *Angrily*

zara Alen (FL)

But dad they......

Daniel Alen (FL Dad)

What they huh if only if only I had a son instead of a daughter like you—at least he wouldn’t constantly bring shame to this family. *shout at her *

zara Alen (FL)

*tear slip from her eyes* "What is it that I can't do? Why is it always a son you wished for? Why can't you just love me—care for me—the way you would have cared for the son you never even had?"

Daniel Alen (FL Dad)

Leave from here before I do something

zara Alen (FL)

* left to her secret code lab*
