Maaz's pov
These guys are my brother Mahir's friends. They are no less than him, they always find an opportunity to trouble me.
Earlier they used to bully me and even beat me, and whenever I would complain about it to my brother he would blame me instead of confronting his friends.
Once they used to be my friends too but one day Mahir Naqvi did something which made them my enemy.
"Haya let's go" I didn't want to create a fuss and that's why I think it's better to leave from here.
"Where are you going? Why don't you spend some time with us?" One of them caught her hand and started misbehaving with her.
"Leave her hand!" I yelled at him but he didn't listen to me. I could see the lust in their eyes, the way they were looking at her angered me.
I wanted to beat the shit out of them and I did.
"Never misbehave with my girl again," I said and punched him for the last time, wait a minute from where did this 'my' come?. "I'll tell Mahir about this" as soon as he got up he threatened me.
It was my fault to bring her here with me. "I am sorry" I apologised whereas she remained silent.
After an hour of driving, we reached the Orphanage, she opened the door and left without saying a word.

My? His? What did he mean by my girl? I planned to spend my day in a good way but no, that Naqvi had to come and take me out with him!
He has to interfere in everything, but why? I just hate him!!
First, he ruined my painting and then my whole day.
It's midnight and I couldn't sleep. After few minutes my phone buzzed with a message, it was from an unknown number.
"Hey, I am sorry for what happened today at the restaurant. I just wanted to make it up to you so, let's go for ice cream?
I am waiting outside!"
There was no name mentioned but I for sure knew that it was him, Naqvi!
I went near my window and peeked outside only to find him standing near his car with his hands folded on his chest.
As his eyes averted to me he waved his hand, I turned my head the other way and moved away from the window.
Deciding whether I should go or not. "I am waiting!!" Another message popped up on my phone's screen.
Ice cream at midnight sounds good as I always wanted to go out at midnight but Mama would never allow me.
I wore my floral dress with a white jacket and white sandals and sneaked out of my room.
"Thanks for coming," he said as soon as he saw me. "Okay let's go" we talked and acted normally as if nothing happened earlier.
Until he brought up that topic " I am sorry for whatever happened today. I was really angry and I didn't realise what I said" ok so it means he didn't mean to say "My girl", I get it he was just angry he meant nothing.
"It's okay" I replied simply because I didn't want to talk about it anymore. "So which flavour do you like?" We soon reached the ice cream parlour and decided to order our favourite flavours.
"Mine is strawberry and yours?" I asked him the same. "I can't choose between chocolate, vanilla and butterscotch, so yeah all three of them are my favourites" we chatted for a few minutes after eating our ice cream.
It was 3 am when I came back home. I had a great time with him. I like his company.
'Maybe you like him too'
There comes the unwanted person.
No, I don't!
He's rude, arrogant and
'Handsome?'
Yes. What no! Just shut up and leave!!
'We both know that you think he's handsome'
Just leave me alone ok! I have better things to do rather than arguing with you.
'Don't call me when you need help'
I won't! Now let me sleep.

After that incident, Maaz didn't return to his home either office. When he returned home it was 3 in the morning.
"I heard you went on a date today?" Mahir came downstairs to drink water and when he saw Maaz entering the home, he couldn't help but ask.
"Do I owe you an explanation?" He said without looking at Mahir. "We don't care whatever you do unless it brings harm to our reputation"
"For a person like you these things wouldn't matter but for me, my family's reputation means a lot and I won't let some like you taint our reputation," Mahir said sternly and walked off.
Maaz shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the swimming pool, which resides near his room.
He didn't bother to change and jumped into the crystal blue water. The water was cold as ice but it didn't bother him.
His mind was filled with her thoughts. Her face, her angelic eyes, her lips. The way she talks and the way she laughs.
He started developing feelings for her and he did realise it. With a smile, he walked out of the swimming pool.
He stripped off his white shirt and jeans and jumped into his sweatpants. After drying his hair it was time to hit the hay. Yep, as soon as he laid on his bed, he dozed off to sleep.

Chapter-7 "I love you Haya, Will you marry me?" Maaz knelt with a box in his left hand, as he finished confessing he opened the box with his right hand, revealing a diamond heart-shaped ring. "Yes," she squealed with delight and hugged him, "I love you too" she confessed and he hugged her back. __________________________________"Ahhh" Maaz groaned, "Shit" he muttered tons of curses when he found himself laying on the floor. He got up from the floor and scratched the back of his head, smiling sheepishly "what were you dreaming of Maaz" he thought. He saw the time on his alarm clock and realised it was almost time for office. He hurriedly ran to the washroom and did his business alongside showering. He wore a white colour shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a grey vest coat with matching grey tie and grey pants, His bushy hairs perfectly gelled and combed in side part. He sprayed his favourite perfume and wore his Rolex wristwatch and his grey derby shoes with matching invisible
"Don't mind me asking but how come you are the CEO of this company?" Haya asked, "Well you see, I was adopted by the Siddiqui's who also happen to be billionaires. So my Dad was the former CEO of this company and this year he gave his position to me as he had no other heir. So this is how I became the CEO of this company" He said the end part with a peal of low laughter. "Ooh that's cool," Haya says after she was done checking out his cabin. The room was on the 25th floor with a wall window. The view outside the window was breathtaking. the cabin was painted in light brown colour and the furniture was painted in brown with a huge chandelier hung above his desk. The files on the shelves were neatly organized, there was a coffee machine placed on the table kept at the side of the shelf. A couch in brown was placed in the middle of the room and a tea table with a white plush carpet underneath. "Asim, I'll be leaving now and I want you to visit our Orphanage real soon, okay?" Haya sai
Maaz gave him a deadly glare and turned back to Haya, "Haha! He always cracks lame jokes" Maaz laughed. "Oh okay, be careful when you walk or drive!" Haya said in anger and walked towards the table where Maaz was sitting a while ago. "Why did her face turn pale when I said that you love someone else and why were you glaring at me?" Saad asked in confusion. "You dumb man! Who told you to spit out everything?" Maaz hit him in the arm and unlocked his car. Both of them sat in their seats and Maaz started driving. "What did I spit out" Saad pouted "Why did you tell her that I am in love with someone" he turned his head to face Saad. "So? Aren't you in love with someone?" Saad asked, "I am!" Maaz said and increased the speed of his car. "Then? What's wrong if she knows that you love someone?" Saad asked with great confusion. "Dumb ass! She's the girl I love! I love her and not someone else but your dumb ass told her that I love someone else!" Maaz semi-yelled, Saad widened his eyes
"you are late!" Maaz said as he saw Haya walking towards him."I am not late, you came before time!!" Haya said. "Did you check the time?" Maaz asked, entering his car. "No!" Haya said and sat on the passenger seat. "At 4:10 pm I called you and said that I'll pick you up within forty minutes but due to traffic I came 10 minutes later, which means at 5 PM. And you came one hour later at 6 PM, So is it my fault or yours?" Maaz said as he started driving, "Your fault!!" Haya said, facing him. "Care to explain," Maaz asked. "you came early and it's your fault! Anyways you could leave rather than waiting" Haya said and turned towards the window. "I would wait for you all my life rather than leave" Maaz mumbled making sure Haya didn't hear it, but she did hear it and didn't react. "Did you say something?" Haya snapped her head towards him and asked. "I- uh no-no I didn't say anything" Maaz stuttered and let out a fake laugh... Haya nodded her head and leaned backwards on her seat and c
A car was coming in our direction and Hamdan was running towards it. "Catch me," he said looking back. "Hamdan wait the car is coming!" I yelled again but he never stopped. He ran until he tripped over a stone a fall down. "Hamdan!" I yelled when the car just stopped a few inches away from him. "Are you okay?" I asked and hugged him. "Are you okay?" I heard a familiar voice from the back. I stood up and turned towards the person who was standing behind me. Seeing him made me angrier. "Mr Naqvi, are you trying to kill my loved ones?! First Mama and now Hamdan" I yelled at him. "No you're getting it wrong I-", "Oh wait! Are you stalking me? I told you to stay away from me then why can't you do that?!" H
The next day, Haya woke up with a terrible headache. She somehow freshen up and went to the kitchen. She was still angry with Mehrbano as she thinks Mehr is forcing her to marry Maaz, Ignoring Mehr Haya made her breakfast and walked back to her room. She placed the tray on her study table and sat on the chair. She logged into her laptop and started going through the mails while eating her breakfast. After she was done with breakfast she decided to bathe, She wore a neon sleeveless jumpsuit with a white full-sleeved t-shirt underneath. After blow-drying her hairs, she left them open and applied some eyeliner and satin beige lipstick. Wearing her bracelet she walked out of her room. When she asked Saleha about Mehr and the kids she was told that they went to the park. Saleha was Mehr's friend and she staye

Exactly at that time, the lights get on and everybody shouts "Surprise!"Asim gets shocked seeing everyone, "What's going on?" He asks looking at Haya, "It's my friend's engagement today!" Haya says,"Then why are our families here?" He asks, and this time his mother answers " Because you're the one who is getting engaged, and that's why your family is here" Rida says with a smile.The shock was written all over Asim's face, "My engagement?" he asks and Rida nods "With whom?" He asked again."With her!" Haya says as Hunaina and the Naqvi Family enters, "Assalamu'Alaikum" Rida greets them and they greet back saying "Walaikum'Assalam"Huanina wore an iced aqua gown and diamond necklace set paired with diamond studs and not to forget her favourite ring which w
"Maaz what happened to your hand?" Amira asked, "nothing much mama, it's just a small cut," He said and continued eating his breakfast. "Maybe he fought with someone again?" Mahir said, "Mama, I am leaving for office," Maaz said and got up from the table. "Mahir, I asked him you don't need to interfere in everything" Amira scolded him. Mahir got angry as she scolded him because of Maaz.At the orphanage,Everybody was having their breakfast on the dining table except Haya, As she came downstairs Mehr called her, "Haya!" but she ignored her."Mrs Naqvi wants to take you shopping," Mehr says and Haya nods and walks back to her room."Assalamu'Alaikum Aunty" Haya greeted Amira receiving her call. "Walaikum'assalam, are you free today? I and Rida planned to take you and Hunaina shopping for the wedding" Amira says,"Yes aunty, I am fr
