Waking up and offering her Fajr prayer, Emaan headed out for a morning walk. For her morning walk gave her optimistic thoughts. She always went to the park near her house because it was safe for ladies and you can do exercise freely.

After running for 2 hours Emaan was out of breath so she sat down on a bench near her. She was gasping her breath when a boy sat beside her.

Emaan didn't bother because she thought of him as a stranger. But when that boy tried to touch her hand she shriek in fear.

Emaan stood up and was about to run away but someone grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"Help! He..lp....."

Emaan shouted as loud as she could but her voice cracked. She was so frightened because of the sudden situation.

The boy put his hand over her mouth to keep her voice down and pulled down his mask.

"Shush.... Emaan it's me". He whispers shouted.

Emaan eyes widened when she saw the face of the boy so she pushed him away with full force that he fell on his hips.

"Ouch! Emaan, what are you doing?" The boy growled in a low tone.

"You deserve this Daniyal. You nearly gave me a heart attack". Emaan said in an angry tone.

"I was just scaring you a lil but I think it was a bad idea." He giggled in between.

Well, you didn't have to push me away so hard. Now grab me. Daniyal gave her charming smile while drewing his hand out.

"Get up on your own. I'm not going to help you". Emaan was still angry about what he did.
They don't have this type of relationship.

"Okay! I'm sorry I shouldn't have done this in the first place". Daniyal stood up, cleaned away the dust on his black trouser and gave her an alluring smile.

"Btw what are you doing here so early in the morning?" She raised her eyebrows because something was fishy.

"Mom and Dad came to your house when they heard Uncle Siddique was back.They are probably eating breakfast right now". Daniyal gave her a tooth smile.

"And how did you know I was here?" Emaan was not satisfied with his answer.

"I asked Aunty, she told me".
Daniyal rubbed his back hair nervously.

"I'm already late for work. I think we should head back to the villa". Emaan said in a calm tone but deep inside something was bothering.

Daniyal's family was already at the table when Emaan and Daniyal entered the dining room.

Emaan said "ASLAM-O-ALAIKUM" in a cheerful voice. Everyone looked at her with a smile.

"WALAIKUM-ASLAM! Come, have breakfast with us". Mr Siddique said with a fatherly smile.

I am sweating so much Baba. Let me wash myself up. I'll join you guys in 5 mins. Emaan said and went towards her room.

The air was a lil tense when Emaan came back to the dining table. She smiled nervously while everyone was staring at her.

Daniyal's mother approached her and took Emaan's hand in her embrace.

At that moment she felt something bad was going to happen.

"Look Emaan, we want you to marry our one and only son".

Emaan looked towards her parents nervously when Daniyal mom continued,

"They are okay with this marriage we just want to ask you, if you are ready too. Because it's both of you who are going to marry. And you don't have to worry about your career. You know we are not that conservative. You can continue it after marriage as well. Take your time, right now we are just thinking about engagement. What do you think? Is the 25th of this month okay?" Daniyal's mother was bombarding her head with the things that she has been running away from.

Emaan couldn't utter a single word at that moment and just nodded when she saw her parents looking happy.

Watching her parents pleasant was the only thing she wanted.

But deep inside she didn't like Daniyal that much because in a second he changed his personality.

In one moment he'll be the sweetest person and in the next moment, you will find him rude.

When Emaan was in her own thoughts, Mr Siddique said:

" Don't you think it's too fast? Just in 15 days, you guys want the engagement ceremony."

Mr Siddique was also being cautious about this rapid decision of ceremony because all he had was his one daughter whom he loved dearly.

He remembered how much he prayed when the doctor said they might not be able to save the baby. But in the end ALLAH heard all his prayers and saved both of them.

Mr Abdullah said,"Oh please Siddique! When both of them are ready then why would we take it slow. And don't worry about the arrangements. We will handle it together".

In the end, everyone agreed.

Days passed and the weekend arrived. Shees was calling his pilot Hamza to prepare his private jet.

He told him that he'll be there in about 20 mins. Aliyan was eavesdropping outside the cabin's door when Shees saw someone's silhouette.

He turned the doorknob instantly, which caused Aliyan to lose his balance and fall. Shees was laughing the way Aliyan fell on his mouth and stood up without losing anytime.

"Don't you know eavesdropping is a bad manner?" Shees said while laughing.

Aliyan dust away his suit and looked at him angrily.

"Where are you going, leaving piles of work on me?" He said in an irked tone.

"Don't worry, we both are going somewhere. I was about to snatch you away from work". Shees was still laughing, which was new to Aliyan. Because Shees never laughed that much on lil things.

But listening about getting away from work lightened up Aliyan's face.

"You should've told me sooner. I would've prepared something. Let me grab my phone and coat from my office". Aliyan said excitedly, which made Shees to chuckled.

They both reached the airport in 2 hours. Pilot Hamza was waiting for them.

"Let's go Hamza. We are already late because of an idiot". Shees glared at Aliyan while he was showing his tooth smile all along.

They both sat in the cabin when the air hostess came.

"Hello Mr Shees! I'm glad to meet you again". She gave him her delightful smile and continued:

"We are about to takeoff. Please fasten your seat belts".

The air hostess was new and trying to flirt with Shees.

"Okay! You can go now if we need anything we'll call you". Shees said in a cold tone.

When the air hostess left, Shees could saw a bundle of questions in Aliyan's eyes.

"Now tell me where are we going?" Aliyan elbow was touching the table while his chin was resting on his palm. He asked excitedly.

"I have some IMPORTANT MATTER to settle down in Islamabad, so we are going there". Shees told with an alluring smile.

Aliyan was glad to see Shees happy again in his life. He remembered when Shees parents died how miserable he was.

Shees came to know that his parents were no more when he woke up from a coma after 3 months.

He didn't eat or drink and just shut himself in his room for days. After hundred of attempts by Aliyan, Shees came out of the room.

That 15 year old Shees was long gone. The person who came out of the room was a completely different person.

Shees just focused on building his father's business again, which was on the verge of getting bankrupt because of the sudden death of Mr. Farhat. He didn't let any other emotion came in his way, not even happiness.

But now seeing him cheerful again, Aliyan was happy and satisfied.

"Please ALLAH let this Happiness last forever"
He prayed in his heart for his buddy.

Shees face was beaming with happiness which was enough for Aliyan.

"Oh I forgot to ask, what was in the parcel that Mr Siddique gave you?"

Shees completely forgot about the parcel because of Mr Brewer and now he was feeling guilty.

"I haven't opened yet. I'll open it once we are back from this trip". Rubbing the back of his nape Shees said in a low tone.

When Aliyan saw Shees being sad again, he tried to change the topic.

"Btw who is this IMPORTANT MATTER which made Shees "The Hottest Workoholic Bachelor of this century" to leave his "Girlfriend" I mean "Work" and went after her without any notice?" Aliyan was ready with his teasing book.

"Ahh! That Important matter must be beautiful that made you fall head over heels for her." Aliyan asked the question and answered it in a mesmerizing tone.

Shees threw a light punch on Aliyan's shoulder playfully because he hit right on spot. Shees never knew how did his dork friend always know what he was thinking.

"You will soon know about that IMPORTANT MATTER, just wait a lil more". She said with a smirk.

The preparations for Emaan's engagement started. Everyone was happy except Emaan.

She was doing it all for her parents sake.

Emaan was at the designer boutique with Daniyal's mom for the selection of her engagement dress. The designer showed many designs but she rejected them all, which exhausted Emaan because they had been sitting there for 5 hours but Daniyal's mom didn't like anything.

Suddenly she gleefully yawped.

"This is it! You will look stunning in this dress". She put her finger on a white and golden sparkling lace gown.

Emaan liked it too.

Daniyal's mom asked about the price and it shocked both of them. Emaan didn't want to burdensome them but Daniyal mom insisted on buying it.

"Do you have a piece of it to try?" Daniyal mom asked.

"Yes Mrs Abdullah we do have it and it will look beautiful on Miss Emaan". The designer asserted professionally and showed her the way to the changing room.

When Emaan wore the dress she looked deadly gorgeous in it.

She was looking at herself in the mirror when she heard a voice near her ear:

"Miss Emaan, don't be so impatient. Everything should be done at the right time"

Emaan was startled and looked around but there was no one.

She looked again in the mirror and saw Shees standing right beside her.

Emaan screamed and was about to fall when the helper came inside and caught her.

"What happened ma'am? Is everything alright?"

When she looked around again, there was no one.

Emaan wanted to smack Shees hard to turn her into a weirdo in front of everyone.

She was about to say something when Daniyal's mother came running inside.

"What happened Emaan? Why were you screaming?"

"Nothing aunty, my dress was just stuck in my shoes so I was about to fall when the helper came inside".

Emaan told everyone half truth and half lie because she didn't want to humiliate herself in front of everyone.

Since Emaan met Shees, she was always hiding something from everyone which irked her a lot.

Daniyal mom rolled her eyes and said in annoyed tone:

" Emaan you are not a child anymore whom should we tell to watch where you are going, here i thought something happened to you" she paused a lil and looked at Emaan:

"But thank God nothing happened".
She came back in her honey tone.

Emaan felt humiliated and angry as well, but she kept herself quiet because that's how her parents brought up.

"Emaan changed the dress, we'll be going to eat lunch at my friend's restaurant". Mrs Abdullah said with a smile.

Emaan came out after changing the dress and told Mrs Abdullah that they had to cancel the lunch because something came up in her new office.

Mrs. Abdullah also didn't bother and left her there.

Emaan was shocked by what just happened. She called her driver and told her to pick up. To be honest she didn't like the tone of Mrs. Abdullah.

What would be Shees reaction when he heard the news of Emaan's engagement?
