Scene: Noor's Home — After Mujtaba Leaves

The door closed behind him with a soft thud, but it felt louder in Noor's ears.

Noor moved toward the sofa, her hands instinctively smoothing over the cushion where he had just been sitting—like she could erase the presence he had left behind. That man… he was something else. Intense, unnerving, and definitely not from her world. She shook her head.

"Yeh sab kon laya?" she asked, blinking in disbelief.

"I don't know" she replied. 

Her aunt didn't push further. The joy of seeing rice, sugar, tea, and oil after so many days overpowered her curiosity.

Scene Cut To: Mujtaba's Office

Mujtaba leaned back in his leather chair, staring blankly at the ceiling. His jacket was off, sleeves rolled up, veins tensing slightly on his forearms as his fingers tapped against the armrest.

A tea cup sat untouched on the desk in front of him.

The same tea she had refused to make.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"No one ever says no to me."

And yet... she had.

"Sir?" a voice interrupted his thoughts.

Mujtaba looked up. His assistant stood at the door, holding a tablet.

"Yes?"

"I wanted to update you. The company's shares rose by 2% this morning."

"Hmm." Mujtaba nodded, not really listening.

The assistant lingered. "Is there… anything else you need?"

Mujtaba glanced at the cold tea again. Then waved a hand.

"No. Leave me alone."

As the door shut again, the office was silent once more.

He picked up the tea cup, stared at it for a moment.

Then quietly set it back down.
