💕 Novel Name: Forced Marriage 💕 Episode 2 As soon as Areez's eyes fell on Hoorain, he forgot how to look away. However, the very next moment, he regained control over himself and focused on the meeting again. "Come on, Hoorain, Aiza! Let's go shopping," Rimsha said excitedly. "No, yaar. It's getting late. Let's go home," Hoorain replied. "Absolutely not! First we'll go shopping and then we'll go home. Right, Aiza?" Rimsha turned to Aiza. "Yeah, she's right," Aiza immediately agreed. "Okay, okay, let's go then," Hoorain said as she started walking toward the exit. Rimsha and Aiza followed beside her when suddenly Hoorain remembered that she had left her phone on the table. "Yaar, I forgot my phone. You two go ahead, I'll be right back." Saying that, Hoorain hurried back. As she stepped forward to pick up her phone from the table, she suddenly collided with Areez's broad chest. "Ouch! My head... it feels like I just hit a wall—" The rest of her words died on her lips when she looked up and saw Areez standing before her. Her eyes widened, and her heartbeat instantly sped up. Areez Khan couldn't take his eyes off her face. Hoorain felt nervous under his intense gaze. "You've become so beautiful... even more beautiful than before. And now you've grown up too, darling." Areez said while looking at her with affection-filled eyes. His gaze and double-meaning words made Hoorain shiver. "By the way, happy birthday, sweetheart." Startled, Hoorain quickly grabbed her phone and rushed away. Behind her, Areez's smiling yet thoughtful eyes followed her until she disappeared from sight. As soon as Hoorain came outside, Aiza noticed the redness on her face and became worried. "What happened, Hoorain? Are you okay?" Aiza asked with concern. "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go home." Aiza immediately nodded. "But yaar, we were supposed to go shopping!" Rimsha complained sadly. "Can't you see she's not feeling well? Let's go home. We can go shopping some other day." Aiza said while trying to calm her friend. "Fine, let's go." The three girls got into the car and headed home. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ "Buddy, what's your problem? You've been cheating the whole time! Every time you're out, you refuse to accept it." Ahan glared at Azmeer Khan like an offended lover. "Listen, buddy. Everything is fair in war and games." Azmeer laughed and winked at him. "That saying is about love and war, not games. Stop including games in it and stop cheating." Ahan pouted. "Fine, then I'm not playing anymore." "You lost, buddy." Azmeer teased him. "Absolutely not. You cheat, that's why I lose." Ahan rolled his eyes. "Alright then, let's play Ludo." "No way! You cheat even more in Ludo." Ahan immediately refused. Both brothers burst into laughter. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ As soon as Hoorain returned home, she ran upstairs and rushed into her room, slamming the door shut. Her body was still trembling. Fortunately, no one had seen her arrive. Faryal Begum was resting in her room, while Hassan Sahib had gone out for some important work. Had either of them seen her condition, they would have become worried immediately. Hoorain locked the door from inside. She was still afraid that the man might somehow find his way here too. She quickly went to the washroom. The moment she splashed water on her face, her thoughts drifted back to him. Even now, she could feel Areez's eyes on her, as if they were looking straight through her. Coming out of the washroom, she lay down on her bed. "Should I tell Mom and Dad?" she wondered. But the next moment, she dismissed the idea. "No... they'll worry. Dad already doesn't allow me to go out much. If I tell him, he might stop me from going to college too. He won't let me hang out with my friends anymore either. And most importantly, Dad's health isn't good these days. I can't burden him with more worries." "What should I do, Allah?" Lost in her thoughts, Hoorain cried herself to sleep. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hassan Villa was filled with its usual warm and cheerful atmosphere. Faryal Begum was talking to one of her acquaintances on the phone when Hoorain came from behind and lovingly wrapped her arms around her mother's neck. "My princess is awake?" Faryal Begum asked affectionately. "Yes, Mom." "Mom, where's Dad?" "He's in his room, going through some files." Just then, Naila entered carrying a tray of tea. "Wow, tea! Honestly, Naila, I was craving this so badly." Hoorain's face lit up at the sight of tea. Although Naila worked as a maid in the house, Hoorain had never treated her like one. She had always considered her a sister. Laughing, joking, and spending time together had become a normal part of their routine. At first, Faryal Begum didn't like Hoorain's friendly attitude toward Naila, but because Hoorain was her only and dearly loved daughter, she chose to remain silent. "Naila, come on. Let's play Ludo." "Okay, Hoorain Baji. Let me wash the dishes first." "Yaar, the other maids can do that." Saying this, Hoorain grabbed Naila's hand and dragged her toward the lawn. "Come on, my turn first." "Alright." The two girls started playing. "Oh yes! I got a six!" "Yaar, Naila! You're cheating. Your token was inside the house just a moment ago." "No, Hoorain Baji, it was outside." "Oh really? Fine. I'm keeping an eye on you now." Hoorain said while giving her a suspicious look. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Meanwhile, at Hashir Villa, everyone was having dinner together. "Babا Sain, I wanted to talk to you about something." As soon as Azmeer spoke, Areez and Ahan looked at him curiously. "Yes, son. What is it?" Hashir Sahib asked. "Babا Sain, I want to start my own business." Azmeer said hesitantly. Hashir Sahib remained silent for a few moments before speaking. "Son, we already own such a huge business and so much land. All of this belongs to you three as well. Then why do you want to start something separate?" "Babا Sain is absolutely right." Areez spoke up. "When we already have such a massive business empire and valuable properties, what's the need to start another business separately?" Ahan quietly continued eating while listening. "Brother, you and Babا Sain are right. But that's not what I mean. I simply want to stand on my own feet and build something myself." Azmeer explained. "Alright, son. Do whatever you think is best." "Thank you, Babا Sain." "If you ever need my help in anything, just let me know." Areez said with a smile. "Thank you, brother." Azmeer replied gratefully. After that, everyone continued enjoying dinner together in a happy atmosphere. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ "Yaar, couldn't you two have informed me before skipping college?" Aiza was furious. She had put Hoorain and Rimsha on a conference call and was giving both of them a proper lecture. "Yaar, I wasn't feeling well, that's why I couldn't come." Hoorain apologized softly. "Oh really? Was your condition so serious that you were admitted to a hospital? Couldn't you at least make a call or send a text?" Aiza snapped angrily. "I'm sorry. I genuinely wasn't feeling well. I couldn't contact you. Please forgive me. I promise it won't happen again." Hoorain said sweetly. "And where were you, Madam?" Now Aiza had turned her attention toward Rimsha. "Yaar, I had to travel to another city suddenly. Mom and Dad insisted that I come with them. We're at my aunt's house. She hasn't been feeling well, so I had to come along with my family. Everything happened in such a hurry that I couldn't inform you." After hearing about her aunt's illness, Aiza's anger calmed down a little. Aiza and Hoorain asked about her aunt's health before ending the call. "Ugh! What am I supposed to do now? The day isn't passing without those two." After attending a few classes, Aiza headed back home. The boring day and the absence of her friends had already put her in a bad mood. While driving, she got into a minor accident with an oncoming car. Thankfully, she wasn't injured, but her car suffered slight damage. Aiza immediately stepped out of the car. Seeing the damage, she couldn't control her anger. The driver of the other car also stepped out. He was dressed in a white shalwar kameez with a brown shawl draped over his shoulder. Expensive sunglasses covered his eyes, a luxurious watch adorned his wrist, and a pleasant fragrance surrounded him. The moment Aiza turned toward him, he forgot to blink. "Can't you see? You have such big eyes, yet you're driving like you're blind!" Aiza snapped angrily. Her voice brought him back to reality. For a moment, he simply stared at her in surprise. "Miss, if I were blind, what excuse do you have? You have equally big eyes. Couldn't you see either? And besides, this wasn't my fault. It was yours. You hit my car." Aiza shot him one last glare before turning away. He stood there watching her until she disappeared from sight. A strange smile appeared on his lips. Getting back into his car, he dialed a number. "I've sent you a vehicle number. Find out who owns it. I want the address, phone number, and every detail about the owner. Send me everything." After giving the order, he ended the call and drove away. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ "Babا Sain, you called for me?" Areez entered the room and looked toward Hashir Sahib. "Yes, son. I did." Hashir Sahib nodded. "I've made a decision." "What kind of decision, Babا Sain?" Areez asked. "I think the time has finally come to take back our trust... from my brother." Hashir Sahib fell silent after saying those words. But his statement was enough to disturb Areez's heartbeat. "As you think best, Babا Sain." Areez replied carefully. "When will you be free? We should go and claim what's ours as soon as possible." Hashir Sahib asked. "Whenever you say, I'll go. But do you really think Uncle will agree so easily?" Areez questioned. "He has made enough excuses already. But not anymore. If he refuses this time—" Before Hashir Sahib could finish, Areez interrupted him. "Then this time, I won't listen to you, Babا Sain." His voice was calm but firm. "And I know exactly how to take back what belongs to us." A dangerous determination flashed in his eyes. "This time, you won't show any leniency to your brother. I've waited long enough. I won't wait anymore." After saying that, Areez fell silent. Hashir Sahib simply looked at his son. The obsession and determination in Areez's eyes were impossible to ignore. Areez already knew that his uncle would never agree easily. That was why he had prepared a plan long ago. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ To Be Continued... 💞 Author: Sana Asghar 💞
