Aryaan says in a deep voice, "You've said it today, but don't say it again

no one will be worse than me

Ayesha says, "No one can be worse than you anyway."

A moment later, Aryaan's phone buzzed

Aryaan checks his phone and sees a message.

"Alright, butterfly, you get rest. I'll be late."

Ayesha says, "Alright, go then."

Aryaan walks away from there.

A few hours later, Aryaan enters the room.

Aryaan sees that Ayesha has fallen asleep. He sits beside her, gently brushing her hair away from her face, and says softly,

"I don't know why, but ever since you came into my life, everything has changed. I feel like I'm changing too... from Aryaan to Arslan. Whenever you talk about going away, it hurts a lot. I just want to live now... with you."

"Aryaan looks at Ayesha for a while, then gets up and goes to sleep."

Next morning.

Aryaan's Pov :

"In the morning, I wake up and see Ayesha sitting on the prayer mat, praying. There's a longing in her eyes, hoping for her prayers to be answered. I watch her for a while, and when she finishes, she looks at me and says..."

"You woke up really early. I replied, 'Yeah, I’m used to it.' She doesn’t talk to me much and just goes outside. I just watch her for a while. Then after some time, I get ready and go downstairs."

"I see Dad sitting on the sofa. I go and sit beside him and ask, 'Dad, how are you feeling now?' He replies, 'Better than before.' I say, 'Dad, you should rest.'"

"Dad replies, 'I've been resting since yesterday.' I ask him, 'Where is Ayesha?' He says, 'She’s in the kitchen.' Then he adds, 'Today, you look just like the old Arslan.'"

"Hearing 'Arslan' makes me really angry. Controlling my anger, I say, 'Dad, please.' He tries to calm me down and says, 'Okay, fine, I won’t say it from now on.'"

"He tries to understand me and says, 'So much anger over your own name? I know Afroz gave it to you, but your father loved calling you Arslan.

I still remember the first time he called you that—you grabbed his hand with your tiny little fingers.'

"I cut him off and say, 'Dad, please, don’t bring back those who are gone. I’m heading to the office.' I get up and start walking away. With a slight smile

he says, 'You’ll turn from Aryan to Arslan sooner than you think. "

"I ignore Dad's words and walk away from there."

Ayesha's Pov :

I comes out of the kitchen and asks, "Appa, has Aryan left? He didn't even have his breakfast."

Appa replied "Yes, he had important work."

" Alright appa "

"After a few hours."

"My phone rings, and I answer the call. Shocked, I say, 'What? Adnan? I'm coming right now!'"

"Without a second thought, I put on my hijab and abaya and head out."

But the guards stop me and say, 'Ma'am, you can't go. Sir has forbidden it.' Somehow, I manage to escape from them

"I drive away in my car and, after a while, arrive at the location. I stop the car, step out, and look around—there’s nothing but darkness everywhere. I think to myself, 'There’s no accident here, so who called me?'

Just as I’m lost in thought, suddenly, all the lights around me turn on. I look up and see that the entire garden is beautifully decorated with lights and flowers."

"I hear someone calling my name from behind. As I turn around, I am completely surprised—standing right in front of me is Adnan.

Adnan, my childhood friend, who had left for London years ago to study. He walks toward me, smiles, and says, 'Ayesha!' before pulling me into a hug.

I immediately feel uncomfortable. Stepping back, I say, 'Adnan, please…'"

Adnan says, "Sorry, sorry! By the way, how did you like my surprise?"

I give him a sharp look and say, "Your surprise scared me so much! I got a call saying you had come to Korea and had met with an accident."

"I was so scared!"

He laughs loudly and says, "Sorry! You haven't changed at all. You're still the same innocent Ayesha. By the way, it was me who told them—I wanted to surprise you."

I lightly hit his arm and say, "If you ever joke like that again, I’ll never talk to you!"

In a serious tone, he says, "Please, Ayesha, don't ever say that again. You know that besides you and Uncle, I have no one."

I say to him, "Oh, come on! Could I ever do that?"

Adnan asks me, "How do I look? I've become even more handsome, haven't I? You always said I would be very successful, that I would fulfill Appa's dreams.

So today, I’m no longer just a driver's son or the boy who used to stay in a small novel shop. Today, I am Kim mohammad Adnan, London's No. 1 businessman. And this was only possible because of you."

I say to him, "No, this all happened because of your hard work."

Adnan says, "No, Miss Ayesha, you have supported me a lot. And how could you not? After all, you are my Appa's future daughter-in-law."

I give him a sharp look and say, "Adnan, no flirting with me!"

Adnan looks at me and says, "Ayesha, I need to tell you something important… and it's very special too. I got something for you."

Then, showing me a ring, he says, "This is for you."

Just as I'm about to say something to Adnan, Aryan suddenly arrives.

"Ayesha!" he calls out and hugs me tightly.

"I was so scared! Are you okay? I told you not to go out without the guards. What if something had happened to you?" he says, his voice full of worry.

I look at Aryan in shock—I’ve never seen him this worried before.

Trying to calm him down, I say, "I’m completely fine."

Just then, Adnan looks at me and asks, "Who is he?"
