In twilight's charm, he vowed to return after two days passed silently by, their spell still lingering in her thoughts.

Here in her solitude, Mano the cat was her only confidant, the one soul who comprehended her innermost yearnings.

Together, they shared a world of understanding.

"Oh Mano, to live a life so ordinary!" she sighed,
The cat meowed, understanding the longing deep inside.

Preparing for the day, she rose from her slumbered state,
Lost in thoughts of him, her mind couldn't abate.

Whispering wishes of normalcy, she stroked Mano, who replied with an understanding purr.

In the shower, brushing her teeth, and getting dressed. His presence consumed her, a constant, relentless guest.

Choosing a maroon shalwar kameez, simple yet refined,
The Punjabi-style attire, a silhouette that defined.

As dawn broke, her routine continued in the bonds of domesticity with her mother, the peafowls as their loyal spectators.

Mano, the comical feline, added his mischief to the day's tale. Sunday arrived, a day devoid of tasks and chores,

Yearning to study, like others, her heart implored. But she couldn't even write, a skill she lacked, Blushing at the memories, her cheeks turned red, intact.

As dawn broke, her routine continued in the bonds of domesticity with her mother, the peafowls as their loyal spectators. Mano, the comical feline, added his mischief to the day's tale.

"Noor!" her mother's voice echoed through the air. Feeding the peacocks, a moment they would share.

Approaching the garden, Mano nestled in her arms. Together they sat, on the white chadar, free from harms.

Mano hissed, a peacock drawing near. Amusingly named, a male with a name so queer.

"Hush now," she whispered, calming her feline friend,
Amna observed, her daughter's actions, a worry that wouldn't end.

Hoping for her girl's happiness, a life without strife. Mother and daughter bonded, feeding birds, sharing life.

Ay'Noor poured her heart out, revealing all she felt. About the handsome one, her secrets she would melt.

Time slipped away, and Noor retreated to her chamber after a day of fruitless endeavors.

As she settled in with her writing materials, a sudden call interrupted her thoughts.

A sharp knock on the door startled Noor, prompting her to inquire about the cause of the disturbance.

Raheela Bibi burst in, breathless with excitement, announcing the arrival of an unexpected visitor.

Bewildered, Noor questioned the situation, but Raheela Bibi's enthusiasm overshadowed any clarity.

Urging Noor to compose herself quickly, Raheela Bibi insisted on heading downstairs. Perplexed yet compliant, Noor followed her lead.

As they descended the grand staircase, Noor's mind raced with curiosity and anticipation. Who could this unexpected visitor be? What could they possibly want?

The questions swirled in her head, but Raheela Bibi remained tight-lipped, her excitement palpable.

Noor descended the stairs, her breath taken away by the Nawab's presence at the foot of the staircase. It was him!

But why was he there? Raheela urged her to move forward as she excused herself, leaving the two of them alone.

As Noor ventured into the garden's embrace. Her gaze intertwined with the Nawab's grace.

A surge of energy, electric and bright. Caused her cheeks to blush, a vivid sight.

The Nawab, a true gentleman in his stride. Beckoned her to join him, side by side. Through the gardens they wandered. Noor embraced his invitation, a love so grand.

Noor was captivated by the Nawab.

In turn, the Nawab was equally enthralled by Noor's grace. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

As they strolled through the vibrant garden, The sun cast a warm glow on their faces, illuminating their smiles and creating an enchanting atmosphere around them.

In that magical moment, Noor felt a surge of emotions within her. She knew deep down that this encounter was the beginning of something truly special.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the garden, Noor and the Nawab reluctantly made their way back towards reality.

But their hearts were filled with hope and excitement, knowing that this encounter was just the beginning of a beautiful journey they were about to embark on together.

As they walked, Noor found herself drawn to the Nawab's quiet strength and the kindness that shone in his eyes.

As they reached the far end of the garden, the Nawab turned to face Noor, his expression serious and his voice filled with emotion.

"App kaisi hein?" Noor looked up at him "hmm." She said said lost in admiring him.

Noor gazed at him, lost in admiration, as he quirked an eyebrow at her. This brought her back to reality.

"Ah, nothing," she stammered, shaking her head. The nawab chuckled deeply.

"I needed to talk to you about something," Zafar said, his tone serious. Noor's heart sank - was this their final meeting?

Unable to speak, Noor simply stared at him, their walk coming to a halt.

The nawab, in his usual black shalwar kameez and thick shawl, looked imposing in the cold night.

Noor's heart raced in her chest.

"Um, I... I..." the nawab faltered.

Was this a farewell, Noor wondered.

"Marry me."
