(At present time)
Iqra was very sad to hear Shanaya's words.
She felt a pain in her chest.
Why will Iqra not suffer if the girl who she loves more than herself gets married and Shanaya is not happy in this marriage, she is being forced into marriage. If shanaya had married the person of her own choice, iqra would suffer, but yet she would still like to think that whatever the girl she fell in love with was doing well.
Because this is love. If the person you love is happy, then the lover is also happy.
Iqra asked shanaya "Have you told your father that you want to start a business in the future?"
"No, there is no use. According to my father, the daughters of higher-class families, were raised with the teaching that 'securing a good marriage is the pride of being born a daughter of a higher-class families.' And so, as the girls came of age, they flocked into society and searched for marriageable partners. I just feel so trapped sometimes. I want to be free to do the things that I love, but..."
"But?" Iqra coaxed out.
"My life is already planned out for me. I'm presumed to learn the family trade ; to marry some rich businessman, and when the time comes, have his children," Shanaya shared. "On top of that, I also have to do well in school and maintain a pristine reputation outside these four walls. And now Addy is pressuring me to have sex with him."
At that, Iqra stiffened.
"My friends keep telling me that it's about time, but I want my first to be with someone I have a connection with. Call me a romantic, but I don't just want to do it to get it over with."
Iqra was surprised. "Your first?"
Shanaya nodded and admitted shyly. "Yes, I've never done it before. And I never want my first time with someone like Addy. The only thing that comes to addy's mind when he sees a girl is when he will get into her pant."
(Flashback)
Shanaya stated as she walked over to Addy, "Do you consider yourself my owner . Because of you everyone in school think you are my fiance?."
"So what soon we are going to be married, your father and my father are the best business partner in society" Addy remarked while laughing.
"Just because our parents are friends that doesn't mean we are going to be marry, and also you are not worth of standing besides me" Coldly, shanaya uttered.
"And if your parents force, you will have no choice but to marry me" Addy said while laughing.
Shanaya stated as she made her way to the cafeteria, "Even if they force me, I don't think I would listen to their choice."
Adrit's face reddened with rage, but he maintained his calm demeanor and turned to go.
