Amir's eyes narrowed as he watched Muhazat and Khalil part ways, their hands touching in a tender farewell. He had been suspicious for weeks, and now he had proof.
Muhazat's secret was no longer safe. Amir's mind raced with malicious intent.
The next day, Amir confronted Muhazat at her family's home, his voice dripping with malice.
"Muhazat, you're betraying your family," Amir spat, his words cutting deep.
Muhazat stood firm, despite her trembling heart. She knew Amir's true nature.
"My heart belongs to Khalil," she declared, her voice steady and resolute.
Amir sneered, his lips curling in contempt. "I'll tell your parents about your infidelity."
Muhazat's anxiety spiked. She knew her parents would never approve of Khalil, a man they deemed unsuitable.
That evening, Muhazat's parents summoned her to their living room.
"Muhazat, Amir has told us everything," Yusuf said, his face stern and unforgiving.
Aisha's eyes filled with tears, her voice shaking. "Why did you deceive us, beta?"
Muhazat took a deep breath, her words pouring out in desperation.
"I love Khalil, Mother. He's kind, compassionate, and understands me."
Yusuf's face hardened, his voice cold. "You'll marry Amir, or face the consequences."
Muhazat's world crumbled. She felt trapped between her love for Khalil and her duty to her family.
As she left the room, Muhazat knew she had to make a choice. Would she follow her heart or obey her parents?
The weight of her decision hung heavy on her shoulders, threatening to crush her.
Later that night, Muhazat received a text from Khalil.
"My love, I know what happened. We'll face this together."
Muhazat's heart swelled. She knew Khalil was her rock, her shelter in the storm.
But Amir's threat lingered, a constant reminder of the danger that loomed.
What would happen next?
Would Muhazat find the courage to defy her family and follow her heart?
Only time would tell.
