Start from the beginning
                                    

Hearing her voice, I come to my senses and move forward to speak, but the girl, frightened, runs away.

I have no idea what just happened to me.

On the other side, with Muhammad Ibrahim:

------->>>>Ibrahim povs :

As soon as Talha left, I changed my place and started looking for someone.

"Where is she?" I search for someone and then see her in one of the library rooms.

"Huh, here she is." I go to the girl.

"Assalamualaikum," I say.

The girl looks at me but says nothing.

"Elif, we both study together at the university, but you never talk to anyone. Why is that?"

She still says nothing.

"I’m asking you something," I say politely, addressing her as the blue-eyed princess.

"I don’t talk to any na-mahram," she says before leaving.

"Na-mahram? She doesn’t talk to na-mahram." I’m still thinking about it when Talha comes over.

He puts his hand on my shoulder. "Yes, Rabbit, did you get the books?" Talha asks.

"Hmm." I nod.

"Well, then let's go home. Mother and father will be waiting."

"Hmm," I reply with concern.

Then we both leave.

----------Ezzah & Elif side :

As soon as we two sisters return home after getting books from the library, our aunt questions us.

"Where were you two?" Aunt Miss Maham asks. "When did university end?"

"Aunty, we went to the library, so we were late," Ezzah says.

"Okay, okay. Come on, go to the kitchen and cook something. Everyone at home is hungry," Aunt Maham says to Ezzah.

Elif starts to speak, but Ezzah cuts her off.

"I’ll cook, Elif. You go and rest," Ezzah says before heading to the kitchen.

Elif goes to her room and performs ablution to pray.

After praying, she prays to her Lord:

"Dear Allah, You took our parents to Yourself. But my dear Allah, let no one oppress my sister. Fill her heart with happiness. Please bless her life with someone who can keep her happy forever. My Lord, my sister has endured much grief since childhood. Please, Allah, make her happy in her life."

Elif cries as she prays for her sister, then folds her prayer mat and stands.

After some time, Ezzah brings food to Elif’s room after feeding everyone, because the two sisters always eat together at the end.

When Ezzah enters the room, she sees Elif sitting on the floor doing university work, so she sits with her.

"Oh, my beloved dear sister, what are you doing?"

"I was working on some university assignments given by my professor, but I’m really hungry now. Let's eat first." Elif takes the food tray from Ezzah’s hands.

"Okay," Ezzah says, and they both eat together.

    --------Talha povs :

As soon as we brothers reach home, Ibrahim jumps out of the car and runs toward his beloved car.

"Oh, my love! I missed you so much," Ibrahim says, talking to his car like it’s a person.

"You know, I missed you everywhere. Even at university, I just kept missing you, my beloved love."

Seeing Ibrahim's obsession with his car, I get out of my own car and go to him.

"Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah. Ibrahim, if you loved your studies this much, you’d be at the top today, idiot!"

"Burn with envy, brother. But one day, if you fall in love, don’t hide it. I’ll remind you of this day," Ibrahim teases.

As I listen to his words, the same black eyes I saw at the library come to my mind.

"Let it go, let's go inside," I say, brushing it off.

Ibrahim notices I’m lost in thought and pinches my arm. "Who are you thinking about, brother?"

"What are you doing?" I say angrily as I snap out of it.

"Where were you lost?" Ibrahim asks.

"I’ll tell you later. For now, let's go inside."

We both go into the house.

As soon as we enter, we head to the TV lounge where our parents are sitting.

"Assalamualaikum, Eomma, Appa," we both say together.

"Walikum Assalam," Miss Amna replies calmly.

"Walikum Assalam, my beloved sons. How was your day today?" our Appa asks.

"Don’t ask, Appa. Your darling son suddenly has an interest in studying today," Talha says, raising his eyebrows.

Ibrahim frowns and glares at me.

"And you know, Appa, he took me to the library today—during my office hours!"

"Is that true, Ibrahim?" Appa (Ahsan) asks him.

"Yes," Ibrahim replies respectfully.

"You’re really interested in studying, Ibrahim, or is there another reason?" Talha says, looking into his eyes.

"I’ve been interested in studies from the beginning. Why don’t you all believe me? May Allah ask you all!" Ibrahim says dramatically before getting up and heading to his room.

As soon as he leaves, everyone starts laughing at his antics.

"He’ll always be a child," Miss Amna says, laughing.

"Yeah, Mom, you’re right," Talha adds, also laughing.

"Okay, Eomma, Appa, I’m tired, so I’m heading to my room. Goodnight."

After that, I also go to my room.

Once inside, I close the door, take off my shirt, and head to the closet.

"Hmm, what should I wear?" I wonder as I open the closet door, looking at my shirts. My eyes land on a black shirt.

As I look at the black shirt, the same black-eyed girl from the library comes to mind.

"What is happening to me? Why am I so drawn to this girl ever since I saw her?"

Whatever it is, her eyes were so captivating. I wonder what her face would be like. I smile to myself.

"I hope we meet again, pretty soul," I say with a smile, grabbing the black shirt and pants before heading to the bathroom.

After a while, I come out, take a blanket, and fall asleep.
