After a while, Ayesha comes outside and starts to leave the room wearing an abaya.

Aryaan asks her, "Where are you going?"

But Ayesha ignores him and walks outside,

Aryaan holds her hand and says, "Stop, come with me."

Ayesha pulls her hand away and says, "There's no need, I will go on my own."

But Aryaan forcefully holds Ayesha's hand, makes her sit in the car, and says, "Sit quietly in the car." However, Ayesha tries to get out.

As Aryaan fastens the seat belt, he says, "Don't try it, my butterfly. The door is locked."

Aryaan says, "Oh, my butterfly, I love your soft side, but your angry side is driving me crazy. Your hatred is pulling me closer to you."

"I know you want to meet dad. let's go, my butterfly

Aryaan starts driving his car at full speed, Ayesha looks at him angrily.

Aryaan, enjoying her anger, says, "Butterfly, I know I'm handsome, but don't stare at me that much."

Ayesha tries to stop the car, but Aryaan looks at her angrily, and she becomes calm.

After a while, both of them arrive at the hospital.

Ayesha gets out of the car and says, "Stay away from me."

Aryaan, glaring, says, "There's no question of staying away from you."

After saying this, Aryaan leaves, and Ayesha is left confused, not understanding anything

Ayesha, with concern, asks Raziya, "Has dad regained consciousness?"

"Yes, he has regained consciousness. He was asking about you."

Ayesha and Aryaan go to meet Usman.

Ayesha goes to Usman and sits beside him, anxiously asking, "Papa, are you okay? You're not in pain, right?" Tears start to fall from her eyes.

Usmaan, giving a slight smile, says, "No, princess, your father is fine."

Ayesha : I was so scared, if something had happened to you, I would have died, Papa"

Kim Usmaan, giving a slight smile, says, "Ayesha, look , I am absolutely fine."

Kim Usmaan's gaze falls on Aryan.

Kim Usmaan says, "Aryaan, come here. Why are you standing there?"

Ayesha looks towards Aryaan.

Kim Usmaan says, "Aryaan, I need to talk to you. Ayesha, can you step outside for a while?"

Ayesha says, "Alright"

Ayesha walks outside.

Aryaan goes to Usmaan and sits down.

Kim Usmaan: "Aryaan, I need to talk to you about something important. I know I could have this conversation later, but I'm really worried about Ayesha. I don't want what happened to her mom to happen to her as well."

Aryaan: "I get dad what you're saying. But trust me, whatever happened to Auntie-I'll never let that happen to Ayesha."

Usmaan: "What happened yesterday really shook me. If anything happens to Ayesha, I won't be able to take it. She's my princess, my everything. I just can't let anything happen to her."

Aryaan, reassuring Usmaan, says: "Don't worry, Dad. I won't let anything happen to Ayesha. Anything that tries to reach her will have to go through me first."

Kim Usmaan: "And that's exactly what I expect from you."

Ayesha, entering the room, says: "Papa, I’m so happy! The doctor has discharged you. Now I can finally take you home."

Ayesha goes to kim Raziya and asks, "Eomma, If you don't mind,  until Appa gets better, can I stay with him at Usmaan Mansion?"

Kim Raziya says, "No, I have no problem. You can stay."

Aryaan says, "You don’t need to go. Appa is coming with us to Kim Mansion"

But just then, Kim Usman says, "No, Aryaan, I can’t go to Kim Mansion.

Kim Raziya says, "Let it go, Aryaan."

Aryaan says, "Alright

After a while, Aryaan and Ayesha reach Usman Mansion.

Aryaan's guards come and open the car door.

Ayesha looks at Aryaan and says, "Why are your guards here?"

Aryaan says, "Yes, because your and Dad's safety is very important. I can't take any risks."

Ayesha says, "There's no need for this. Papa, let’s go inside."

Ayesha says this and walks inside.

Aryaan orders his guards, "Even if Ma'am refuses and says she wants to go alone, you must follow her. If I find out that she went out alone, I won’t spare any of you."

Aryaan walks into the mansion.

After a while, Aryaan enters Ayesha's room and starts looking around

                       Aryaan's pov:

Aryaan says, "Mashallah, Ayesha, your room is just as beautiful as you are."

"My eyes fall on the book lying on the table, and I pick it up to take a look.

It is a novel. On the front page, there is a line that Ayesha has underlined and marked as ‘My Favorite Line.’

I begin to read it..."

It says , Love never ends… not even after death "

I freeze for a moment. The words feel heavier than they should. Does love really never end? Not even after death?

A strange silence fills the space between my thoughts. If love never dies, then where does it go? Does it stay hidden in memories, in unspoken words, in the quiet spaces of the heart? Or does it linger in the air, waiting to be felt again?

I am lost in these thoughts when, suddenly, Ayesha takes the book from my hands

Ayesha asks, 'What are you doing here? And why do you have my book?'

I smirk and slowly start moving closer to her.

Step by step, she begins to back away. Her eyes widen slightly, and her grip tightens on the book.

"W-What… what are you doing?" she stammers.

I lean in closer, bringing my lips near her ear.

In a low whisper, I say, "I didn't know you read dark romance novels."

Ayesha quickly steps back, her eyes widening slightly.

"No! It’s a perfectly halal book… it’s just called Dark Love!" she says,

Ayesha takes a deep breath and looks away.

"Can you leave the room? I need to rest," she says, her tone firm but slightly flustered.

"I'm staying here tonight," I say casually, watching her reaction.

"And who gave you permission?" she asks,

I take a step closer, teasing smile.

"We’re married. I have every right.

She says. "Astagfirullah"

Ayesha exhales sharply, crossing her arms as she looks away.

"That’s what I regret the most
