Chapter: 8, Their first meeting.

Even after Wahab's death 20 years ago, his grandfather Ghulam Haider's heart still did not melt, even after his only son's death, and he refused to accept Sarah and Adam despite Murad and his wife's almost begging.

But Murad, who was not only Wahab's cousin But also his best friend, didn't want to see his son living far away from his family, from him, so he requested Sarah to come to Pakistan with him, where he can take care of both of them, but Sarah who was still mourning his husband's death, straightly refused to leave her home where she and Wahab started their marriage and where they made their memories.

After Sarah's refusal, Murad, left with no choice, went back to Pakistan without them. But in those past years, Murad kept in contact with Sarah, and they always talked about Adam, his education, his likes, and dislikes—he just wanted to know everything about his nephew, whom he loved so much.

He wanted to meet Adam and tell him about his family, but Sarah requested him not to tell him anything about his paternal family and told him that she wanted to keep Adam away from all these things, and Murad, respecting Sarah's decision, never tried to contact Adam.

But suddenly Adam's phone call made him jubilant, but when he heard about Sarah's death, he was overcome with grief. He knew that she was ill, but he didn't know that her condition would be that serious that she...

But after all these years, Adam's calling him meant Sarah had told him everything about his family. And now he wanted to take his best friend's only son to meet his grandmother, who is still tormented by her late husband's wrong decision.

"Come home, son," Murad told Adam all the truth on his side and while Adam was quietly listening to everything, his Uncle Murad put his hand on his shoulder and said in a pleading tone. But he was also afraid that Adam would refuse to go with him. Coming here, he had promised his grandmother that he would bring her grandson home; if Adam refused, he wouldn't be able to face her.

"Fine, I'll come to Pakistan," Adam said, looking at him in a simple tone. "But just because it was my mother's last wish."

Having said that, he went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the two of them because making a Pakistani dish was nearly impossible for him.

Within two weeks, Adam's preparations for departure for Pakistan were over. And during this period, Adam had also realized that his Murad uncle cared about him as his son,

but he was feeling this familiar sting in his heart that Adam always felt thinking about her, the girl who belonged to that land, and now today, he was going to step on the soil where that person is also present.

Will he ever meet her there?

"Walk quickly or we will miss the bus!!" Aditya was almost running fast and Adam was just laughing at him. He just didn't care about the bus.

They both came out of the hotel where most of the group were waiting, and exchanging pleasantries.

Seeing everyone still there, Aditya breathed a sigh of relief and stood in front of the bus with his hands on his knees.

"I had told you, we are not late"."Adam was still laughing at Aditya. The sun was shining brightly, so he took the cape out of his backpack and put it on. And at that moment, something hit his side and he heard the screech of a girl, with the sound of something falling with a thud.

Adam looked back, but before he could look at the ground, his eyes fell on the girl standing in front of him, who was laughing while looking at something on the ground. Just like the way he was laughing at Aditya a while ago. But there was a beautiful jingle in that laughter that went straight to his heart.

When he saw this beautiful girl dressed in a baby-pink cotton shirt and jeans, he was overwhelmed with this strange emotion, something entirely new for him.

Her innocent and beautiful face was so enchanting that it did not allow Adam to even blink eyes.
