Author's POV

"Hey babe, What's up?"the audacity to talk asked her nonchalantly, as if he wasn't the one flirting with his junior!

"What's up? Really? You're asking me what's up when you're over here flirting with some other girl?" Hanan asked as she ferociously glare at him

The girl Umar had been talking to looks uncomfortable, and she begins to edge away, sensing the brewing tension. Umar, however, is unapologetic.

"Come on, Hanan, it was just harmless flirting" Umar said trying to calm her down, hanan's eyes flashed with anger

"Harmless flirting? You know what? I'm done with this. You're such a liar. I can't believe I trusted you" Hanan spat angrily

"Oh, come on, don't overreact. It's not like I was cheating on you" Umar rolled his eyes

The nerve of this guy, Hanan thinks, disgusted.

"No, but you were definitely considering it. And I'm not going to stick around for that. We're done, Umar" Hanan declared

The girl who is called Zainab got riled up by Umar’s audacity, jumps to Hanan's defense, she has always been a fan of SIAH! Which is short for Sadiya,Ihsan,Amal and Hanan. The girls have their own fanclub but they didn't even know

"Excuse me, but how dare you treat Hanan like this? What kind of a creep are you? ‘Harmless flirting’? That's just a cowardly excuse for being a lying, cheating jerk" Zainab spat disgustingly

Umar’s smirk melts into a look of irritation. He seems unused to being called out for his behavior

"Who the hell are you to lecture me, huh?" Umar yelled gaining a few peoples attention

Zainab isn't afraid of him nor is she backing down

"I'm someone with basic human decency, which seems to be something you're lacking. If you can't respect Hanan enough to be faithful to her, then you don't deserve her. She's better off without you" Zainab glared harshly at him

Hanan stands tall beside the girl, her arms crossed, a fierce glint in her eyes

"You're right. I am better off without him. In fact, I'd rather be alone than with a guy like you"Hanan strides away from Umar, her heart pounding with a mix of fury and relief. She's glad to have confronted him, even if the truth stings. But as she walks through the crowd, she realizes she's lost track of her friends

Ihsan and Jamal are still enjoying each other's company, chatting and laughing. But Amal and Haneef have disappeared

Hanan thinks about finding her friends, but a part of her just wants to be alone for a while.After a few moments of searching, Hanan decides to step outside for some air. The cool night breeze hits her, and she lets out a shaky breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts

A guy, alone on the patio, notices her. He’s attractive, with an easy smile and a kind face.

"Hey there. Are you okay? Seems like you've had quite a night" The guy asks when he was close enough to her, Hanan scanned his face but for the life she couldn't recognize him

Hanan manages a weak smile, and she nods.

"Yeah, it's been...a lot. But I'm doing okay" She decided to reply,the guy gestures to an empty seat next to him, inviting Hanan to sit down.

"Well, if it helps, I've been enjoying the dance from out here. Much more peaceful than that mosh pit of people" He scrunched his nose

Hanan chuckles, grateful for the lighthearted conversation. She takes the offered seat, still a bit dazed.

"Yeah, it's not exactly my scene either. Which is funny, because I'm normally a social butterfly" Hanan replied truthfully, who is this guy?

"Ah, but tonight was different. Something shook you up, huh?"The guy gives Hanan a sympathetic look which she resisted the urge to roll her eyes at

"Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll work itself out. Besides, you deserve a night to remember for all the right reasons. Like, say, the chocolate fountain that I saw being set up earlier" He said with a smile on his sexy face,Hanan's eyes light up at the mention of chocolate.

"Chocolate fountain? How did I miss that?" Hanan asked as she quickly picked up her clutch

"Well, that’s because you were probably too busy dancing and being beautiful. Shall we go investigate this chocolate situation?" The guy inquired faking a British accent

Hanan stands, her mood beginning to lift. It's hard to stay upset with the promise of chocolate on the horizon.

"Absolutely. Let’s go find this magical, chocolatey wonderland" she replied with a big smile

"And who knows, maybe we'll discover some other hidden treasures along the way. The possibilities are endless" He winks

"But wait, I've never seen you in this school....Are you new and what's your name?"

The guy smiled a bit before replying "I do not school here, my dad is the director of the school and he pressured me into coming, he said and I quote 'you are always cooped up in your room play COD so go and mingle with your age mate' and to answer your last question my name is anwar" Anwar smiled

Hanan chuckled "Mine is Hanan and its nice to meet you anwar" she beamed  

The guy extends his arm, and Hanan takes it, a smile spreading across her face. They walk back into the gym, arm in arm, the worries of the night fading into the background

"And now, it's time for our final event of the evening—the crowning of our King and Queen of the Valentine's Day Dance!" The announcer started

The crowd erupts in excited cheers. Students crane their necks to catch a glimpse of the finalists

"Without further ado, I give you our Queen of the Dance, the beautiful and captivating Ihsan!" Announced shouted while the crowd cheered her on

Ihsan beams with joy as she steps onto the stage, a vision of beauty in her flowing gown. The tiara is placed on her head, and she takes her place next to the announcer, her smile radiating warmth and grace.

Jamal, who is standing in the crowd, watches with pride and admiration. His heart swells as he sees Ihsan being crowned Queen of the Dance, and he can't help but think how lucky he is to be standing beside such a magnificent lady

As the crowd continues to cheer, the announcer clears his throat and begins to speak"And now, let's introduce our King of the Dance! This young man is not only handsome, but he also knows how to sweep a lady off her feet. I give you, the charming and dapper Jamal!"

Jamal, his cheeks flushed with pride, ascends the stage and takes his place beside Ihsan. Together, they smile and wave to the crowd, a picture of youthful joy and grace.

As they stand there, side by side, they can't help but wonder if this might be the start of something more

"Okay okay settle down,The Prettiest Girl at the Valentine’s Day Dance is none other than the stunning Amal!" The announcer announced

Amal ascends the stage with a confident stride, her head held high. She accepts the tiara with a triumphant smile, basking in the applause of the crowd.

"Thank you, thank you. I always knew I was destined for greatness." Amal spoke after snatching the mic from the announcer

The crowd erupts in enthusiastic cheers and applause, celebrating Amal’s beauty and poise. But in the sea of cheers, there are some whispers of jealousy. Some girls roll their eyes and mutter under their breath, while others look on with envy-filled glares. But Amal, unfazed by their reactions, beams with pride, her tiara glinting in the spotlight

_______✍️

Sadiya sits at a table in the dimly lit corner of the dance hall, her attention focused on her date, Kamal. The music thumps softly in the background, a gentle counterpoint to the electric tension between them

Kamal smiles, his eyes meeting hers.

"Sadiya, you're looking beautiful tonight" Kamal complimented for the umpteenth time

Sadiya blushes, her gaze fluttering away for a moment before returning to his.

"Oh, Kamal! Thanks" She flashed him a toothy grin

Kamal reaches out and gently takes Sadiya's hand in his. His gaze is intense, his smile full of promise.

"Sadia, I want you to know how much I care about you. I've been waiting for the right moment to tell you this, but... I think you're perfect" Kamal smiled softly

Sadiya's heart races, her breath catching in her throat. She feels the warmth of his hand in hers, the heat of his words coursing through her

"I mean it, Sadiya" He said trying hard to make her believe his true feelings,Kamal moves closer to Sadia, his eyes never leaving hers.

"Sadiya, I want to kiss you.." Kamal trailed off as his gaze left her eyes and travelled down to her lips

Sadiya's face flushes, a mix of desire and anxiety washing over her. She can feel Kamal's gaze, his hand, his words pulling her closer to him. She hesitates, just for a moment, before she leans in. But just as their lips are about to touch, Sadia turns her head, redirecting the kiss onto her cheek

'Astagfirullah, Auzu billahi minna shaidani rajim' Sadiya kept reciting the Dua in her head as she closed her eyes tightly. Ya Allah what has gotten to into me?!

Kamal, realizing his mistake, offers a heartfelt apology

"Sadiya, please forgive me. I let my emotions get the better of me. It was the devil's whisperings that tempted me to forget our Islamic principles. We both share the same beliefs and values, and I should have respected them"

Sadia nods slowly, the tension beginning to fade from her body. She reaches out and takes Kamal's hand, squeezing it gently.Kamal turns his hand to grasp Sadiya's, holding it with tender care. A wave of relief washes over him as he sees the tension ease from Sadiya's face.

"I'm glad you understand. I promise, from now on, I'll be more mindful of our beliefs and respectful of your boundaries" He said softly

Sadiya smiles softly, her gaze still on Kamal’s hands, entwined with hers.

"Thank you, Kamal. I appreciate your understanding. And I'm glad we were able to talk about this openly" She replied with a smile
