𝜗𝜚⋆₊˚HAMDAN'S POV :

"I can't! This is so funny bachelor" Mehran laughs as arsalaan dresses my wound.

"Arsal can you believe she said she likes me back! I don't really believe it! What if she said it just so that rayyan stop beating me to pulp? Was it pity?" I ask wondering still ruminating over rania's reply.

"Or was it care? Does she care for me?" I ask.

"Maybe, or maybe not!" Arsalaan says.

We are at arsalaan's house right now, also not to forget that rayyan asked me to leave his house the moment rania replied to his question.

"I think I need to talk to her. I need to know if she was lying to save me or if it's something else," I say as arsal hummed.

"But how will you talk to her now?" Mehran asks as I showed him that there's something called a phone.

"People can lie through the phone, and you never know! Look into her eyes and ask her what she feels," his words actually make sense.

"Okay, I know what to do," I grin while smirking.

I waited for it to be midnight when everyone's asleep. I swiftly sneaked into Rayyan's garden and called Rania, waiting for her to pick after a few rings. She picked up the call.

"Are you okay?" She asked as if it's a reflex.

My lips curled up into a smirk.

"Are you concerned about me?" I ask, and she cut the call from her side.

I texted her.

Me : look outside the window.

I could see Rania gazing at me with widened eyes as I wave at her. She walks towards the window and opens it with a terrified expression.

"Rayyan will kill you if he finds out!" She whispers, concerned.

"I want to have a talk, come with me!" I say as I grab her hand and pull her, helping her jump out of the window.

"Where are you taking me?" She spoke as I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me.

We sneak out of the penthouse.

I take her to the nearest bridge, and we walk on it, feeling the cold breeze hitting us.

"What you confessed today, was it true?" I ask, breaking the comfortable silence.

She stood still, not replying, gazing at the shining stars in the dark sky and the beautiful bridge.

"Do you even feel a little for me?" I ask with a sad smile on my face.

She doesn't reply, slowly her eyes watering. "A little you ask?" Her voice shaking.

She doesn't reply for a minute.

"I feel so much for you that I want to end this feeling. I always told you I can never love you, never. But now that I realize, I've never fallen in love so immensely with anyone as I have with you," my heart beating rapidly against my chest.

"Before you forcefully invaded my bubble, I always hated how life went in my favor! It did nothing nice for me. But I'm beyond grateful I met you. I wanted to die before I met you. Now I'm scared of death because I want to spend more time with you." My lips curve into a smile as my heart started jumping.

"Sometimes people say they love you, but you never feel loved! But when you happened, I realized how it feels to be loved. You made me feel a thousand feelings I never felt before." She gazes at me with sparkling eyes.

"I never thought I would experience love, possession, obsession, and manhandling before I met you." My eyes widened at this.

"I never thought I would say this, but I love everything you do, even the stalking part! It excites me. Someone stalking my boring life and making it thrilling for me. I love it. " My eyes never leave hers.

"I like you, since a long time now! But I didn't plan to ever say this to you because I don't deserve you, Hamdan! I don't deserve love, so stay away from me. I'm too broken and I'll hurt you too. I'm not someone you should love," a smile adorning her lips, a painful smile.

"You are way too nice for me! I don't deserve to fall in love again. Your love is too precious for me to keep; I'll just end up hurting you. I'm too broken; I'll break you too," she says, tears glistening in her eyes, a painful smile etched on her face.

"Don't say that! You deserve the world. I'm just a mere lover of yours who will always cherish your existence and kiss the ground you walk on." I grab her hands in mine.

Her soft skin meeting mine, my green eyes clashing with her grey ones.

"I thought my life ended after I ended things with Armaan. But never in my life did I think you'd invade my life like a chaos I despised. Because you tried to protect me from my own demons. You made me stop self-harming and made me want to live." She spoke while gazing at me, the cold breeze hitting us.

"Falling in love twice is a strange feeling. The first time, I was naive enough to not understand what love actually meant. But now, I feel awake and alive, to understand how it feels." She smiles through the tears.

Her hands move towards my face as she cups my cheeks.

"I'm undeniably in love with you, Hamdan! You've made my heart beat in a way it never did in years," she stares deeply into my eyes.

"I didn't want to fall, not until you barged into my life and chased after me, doing everything that annoyed me. But deep down, everything you did thrilled me, leaving me craving for more." I smile at her words, a genuine smile.

"I thought my heart was dead with him; it was loved and lost. But now, with you, it's finally home. It feels safe when it beats for you," she presses her forehead against mine.

"I did no good deed to have you in my life. And you did no bad to have your heart fall in love with someone like me." She looks down as a tear escapes her eye.

"I'm so happy to fall in love with someone like you, Rania! You're so selfless that you still care for me even after knowing you like me back! You want me to be away from you because you think bad about yourself!" I start while caressing her cheek.

"But in my eyes, you're nothing bad! You're the most precious person in the world. I would trade my life to have my heart fall for you in every lifetime!" I smile while stroking her cheeks and wiping off her tears.

"I know I'm hard to love and I don't deserve someone like you, who loves me like it's breathing," she cries more.

"I would love to love you in a heartbeat." I smile.

"Am I that precious to you, Hamdan?" she asks while gazing up at me with glistening shimmering eyes like a baby's.

"You're so precious to me that, in a room full of my favourite people, I would choose you!" I say while caressing her soft hair.

"I don't deserve you," her voice breaks as she gazes at me with teary eyes again.

"You can't lo—" I cut her off completely.

As i grab her by the neck and tilt my head before pressing my lips against hers, making her stumble backward, but I grab her by the waist as she leans in, letting me kiss her.

I deepen the kiss, starting off with kissing her hungrily like a starved beast like she's my last meal. But then I slowly go gentle with a passionate, sweet kiss.

I bite her lower lip, asking for entrance as she lets me in to devour the sweetness of her mouth, which I craved for more.

She tastes like she was made for me.

Typically mine.

"You're mine, officially, Rania Syed," I smile through the kiss, feeling the happiest I've ever been.

Our lips part as she gazes at me. "Say that you're mine," I whisper while admiring her features.

"I'm yours, All yours! Hamdan Waseem," she says before I pull her into another kiss, her hands circling my neck.

I didn't let my love end and bury it, I fought and I won. My love is not one-sided. I won my girl, with effort! With the hope to never give up. In the end, I managed to win her and make her mine.

"I won you," I say as I brush my nose against hers. I can feel her soft lily scent invading my senses, making me lose it.

"And I won at life," she presses her forehead against mine and sighs with a smile.

"You won't believe how excited I am to tell Ayaan and Fahee about us! They'll be thrilled too!" Rania chirps with excitement as we walk towards Rayyan's house to drop her off.

"My friends wouldn't believe it at all. They might just send me to an asylum, thinking I'm going insane every other day!" I smile sarcastically, remembering my silly best friends.

"You know what, look here!" She pulls me by my hoodie and makes me turn towards the camera on her phone that she's holding.

"Look at the camera, dude!" She whisper-yells, and as I look at the camera, she kisses my cheek, leaving me blinking in surprise at what just happened.

I try to process what she did until she excitedly shows me a picture of us where she is kissing my cheek. "If your friends don't believe, you've got proof to show!" She giggles.

I've never seen this version of Rania before.

So lively, jolly, and bubbly?

Is this how she really is?

I would put my life at stake just to see this version of Rania for the rest of my life.

"I haven't been happier before I met you! Thank you for barging into my life and getting on my nerves because if you hadn't saved me from self-harming that day, maybe I would have ended up taking my own life due to the guilt," she says in a low, monotonous tone.

"Thanks to destiny and my heart that jumped out of my body the first time it saw you! You were meant to be mine,it knew," I smile while grabbing her delicate hand in mine.

"So tell me, Miss Syed! What version of Hamdan would you prefer more?" I say as we walk towards Rayyan's house.

"Doesn't matter what version it is as long as Hamdan Waseem's heart beats only for Rania Syed," she giggles after saying that. The cold sky and the dark night shone with the sound of her laughter.

"Possessive already hmm?" I tease and she hits my shoulder cutely asking me to shut up.

We slowly sneaked inside the gate with a giggling Rania hugging my bicep this time. As soon as we entered, our steps halted and our bodies froze when we saw Rayyan and Sehmat standing with crossed arms, glaring at us.

"Bhai-I—" Rania was cut off when Rayyan walked towards me and patted my shoulder.

"Don't you dare hurt my sister!" he asserts, making Rania hug him tightly as I nod at Rayyan.
