HANIYA'S POV

Everything was perfect! 

The mansion was adorned with intricate details and wooden furnishings, making it the perfect setting for unforgettable gatherings and joyous celebrations. The hall, with its dazzling chandeliers and polished marble floors, was a sight to behold.

I saw, Mama welcomed each guest with open arms, ensuring everyone felt at home. The guests mingled, sharing stories and laughter, their spirits lifted by the enchanting ambiance and the warm company of those around them.

The mansion seemed to shimmer with an air of happiness and celebration. The sounds of low music and laughter echoed through the hall, and the beautiful house became a haven of jubilant energy.

Amidst the festivities, new connections were forged, and old friendships were rekindled. There was a beautiful smile on everyone's face which brought a smile to my own. 

"Hani!", My smile widened when I saw Didi coming towards me.

It had been months since we last met, and I couldn't contain my excitement. As she approached, her face lit up with joy, mirroring my own. 

Without hesitation, we embraced each other tightly, as if making up for all the time we had spent apart. We stood there, locked in that embrace, cherishing each other's presence. Didi's laughter filled the air.

As we finally pulled away, our smiles spoke volumes. It had been months since I last saw my nephew, Ashar, who was now a year old. As I looked into Didi's arms, my eyes softened at the sight of him. 

I remembered holding him when he was just a newborn, and now here he was, growing up so fast.

"Awww, my handsome is growing so fast",  I squeezed his chubby cheeks making him smile. Didi laughed at his gibberish language. We broke out of our little moment when I heard someone clearing their throat. 

"Ahhmm!", A warm smile spread across my face as I glanced behind Didi, to see my brother-in-law, Sameer. Although not bound by blood, he had become a brother to me, always there to support and uplift me. He gave me a side hug.

"How are you, Hani?", He asked as we parted. 

"I'm good Jiju", I smiled at him. We stood there, exchanging a few more words before Didi and Jiju excused themselves leaving me alone with the person, I was trying to ignore.

I turned around to meet other guests, eager to engage in conversations and make new acquaintances. I tried to get away from that one male figure, Abeer. 

I've always felt nervous in his presence, the way he always looks at me,  sent shivers down my spine. I don't feel uncomfortable but for some reason, he makes me feel nervous. 

I heard my name being called out. 

"Haniya", His voice echoed behind me. My heart skipped a beat, and I reluctantly turned around. Abeer stood there, his piercing eyes fixed on me. 

His expression was warm with a small smile playing on his lips. But it was his eyes that held a mysterious allure. I gave him a small smile to which his smile widened. 

Suddenly, he reached out and gently took my hand, planting a soft, unexpected kiss on it. I stood there, shocked, unable to find the right words to say. 

I couldn't help but look down shyly. I felt my face heating up.

Fuck! What an embarrassment, My face must be all red now! I whined internally.
