Sakeena had been lost in her thoughts since the night before. Sleep had barely come to her, and when it did, flashes of that man’s intense gaze, the warmth of his touch, and the deep voice calling himself her Mehboob coming her dreams. She wanted to know who he was, why he had been in her room, but morning arrived before she could get any answers.  

She wanted to meet Rahim, her childhood friend. But fate had different plans. Begum Ruksana, had given her endless tasks to prepare for tonight’s grand Jashan. After all, today was special, it was the celebration of Nawab Rahim Qureshi’s return from Dubai.
