Destined to meet

Chapter 2 (Meeting)

[Scene: A family gathering where Aiza and Zain are introduced for the first time]

[Umar entered Aiza's room]
Umar: let's go Aiza, we are getting late.

Aiza: 2 more min bhai I'm coming

Umar: omg! Your 2 mins is more like an hour.

Aiza: No, it won't take an hour. I am wearing my Abaya right now.

Umar: OK, come fast. I am waiting downstairs.

[As Umar waited downstairs for Aiza, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, he understood his sister's concerns and reservations about the marriage proposal, and on the other hand, he also wanted to support his parents' wishes. He knew that Aiza was still very young and had a playful, goofy nature, but he hoped that things would work out for the best.]

[After a few more minutes, Aiza finally emerged from her room, dressed in her abaya. She had a slightly nervous but determined look on her face. Umar offered her a reassuring smile and said]

Umar: You've got this, Aiza. Remember, we're just going to meet Zain and get to know him better. It's not a commitment to marriage yet.

[Aiza nodded, taking a deep breath, and the siblings headed to the living room where their parents were eagerly waiting. Aiza's mother, Aiman, was dressed beautifully and wore a hopeful expression. Her father, Hamid, looked equally anxious but supportive.]

[On the other side, Zain had also prepared to meet Aiza. His best friend, Hussain, had encouraged him to give the meeting a chance.]

[Scene : Zain and Hussain talking in Zain's living room]

Hussain: [Smirking] Zain, I can't believe you're finally meeting Aiza tomorrow. Are you nervous?

Zain: [Sighs] Honestly, Hussain, I don't know what to expect. I've never been in a situation like this before.

Hussain: Relax, buddy. It's just a meeting to get to know her better. Aiza seems like a friendly and fun person.

Zain: That's the thing, Hussain. What if I can't keep up with her? What if she thinks I'm too grumpy?

Hussain: [Chuckles] Zain, it's okay to be yourself. Aiza's a great girl, and if you're meant to be, she'll appreciate you for who you are.

Zain: Thanks, Hussain. I appreciate your support. I'm just hoping it won't be as awkward as I imagine.

Hussain: No worries, buddy. Just be genuine, and it'll all work out. And You never know, Zain .Aiza might surprise you. She could be the one to break through your grumpy exterior.

[Hussain offers Zain some encouraging words and reminds him to be authentic during the meeting with Aiza. Zain is nervous, but his friend's support helps ease his concerns.]

[Zain agreed to meet Aiza with an open mind. He had worn a clean and crisp shirt, though his usual grumpy demeanor remained intact.]

[When Aiza and her family arrived at Zain's house, they were greeted by Zain's parents, Hashmi and Khadeeja. Aiza's heart raced as she entered the room, and she couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. Zain and Aiza's eyes briefly met, and she noticed that he wore a stoic expression.]

Aiza's Mom: "Zain, this is Aiza, and Aiza, meet Zain. We thought it would be great for you two to get to know each other."

Aiza: [Smiling warmly] Hello, Zain. Nice to meet you.
