When Anisa arrived near the main road and checked the time on her phone, it showed 5:20 PM. She realized she was ready even earlier than she had thought. Though it was spring, the somewhat cold evening breeze felt particularly sharp because the tight dress she was wearing left most of her legs exposed. But enduring that feeling, she waited patiently, watching the road for Hasan's arrival. ⏳
A little while later, his vehicle stopped beside her. The moment she got into the front seat, the sharp, strong scent of the cologne Hasan used penetrated deep into her nose. As he leaned towards her, Anisa's heartbeat quickened, but all he did was adjust her seatbelt and then properly settle back into the driver's seat.
Before starting the car, Hasan looked at her for a moment and said, "You look absolutely beautiful today." The moment she heard it, Anisa's cheeks flushed with shyness. She thanked him with a slight smile. 😊
Then he drove, and after about half an hour's journey, they stopped near a very small hotel in a remote area. Parking the car and getting out first, Hasan, behaving like a perfect gentleman, came to Anisa's side, opened her door, and offered his hand to help her out. She too, adjusting her dress with his assistance, stepped out of the vehicle.
Later, the two entered the hotel together and, following a staff member's guidance, went to the relevant section. It was a vibrant, crowded party filled with light and sound. Though mostly men were present, there were also women dressed in a modern style scattered among them. Seeing them, Anisa felt a sense of reassurance and satisfaction within her heart that she too had dressed well and chosen her attire appropriately. 🤯
