You Are My Love
Chapter 1: The First Glimpse
The "Velvet Bean" Café. Ayaat Smith is celebrating her graduation with her best friend, Sarah Miller. On the other side a few tables away, a heavy, suffocating silence surrounds two people....
Sarah Miller (FL BF)
Ayaat! Look at the camera! Stop looking at the dessert menu for one second. 📸
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
I can’t help it, Sarah! Life is finally starting. No more exams, no more grades. Just me, Roshi Smith, living my best life!
Sarah Miller (FL BF)
(Giggling) You’re a disaster. Let me check the lighting on that last selfie... wait.
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
What? Did I have chocolate on my teeth?
Sarah Miller (FL BF)
No. Look behind you. Isn't that the guy your father, Uncle Robert... keeps talking about? The billionaire architect, Talha Williams?
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Slowly turns her head) The one they call the "Ice King"? My dad says he hasn't cracked a smile since he takes over the company.......
Sarah Miller (FL BF)
Shh! Look. He’s with Sabika Khan. I heard they were supposed to announce their wedding date today.
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Whispering) She looks like she’s about to explode. He looks like... he’s not even there.
Sabika Blake (ML's ex fiancee)
(Voice trembling) Answer me, Talha! Am I even in your top three priorities? Or am I below the office and your nephew?
Talha Williams (ML)
(Voice cold and flat) Sabika, Mohid is a child. He is my responsibility.❄️❄️
Sabika Blake (ML's ex fiancee)
He has a grandfather! He has nannies! But you... you treat him like he’s your own son. You’ve turned into a babysitter, Talha. I didn't except you to marry a ghost who spends his nights holding a silent child's hand.
Talha Williams (ML)
Then don't marry ❄️❄️❄️
Sabika Blake (ML's ex fiancee)
(Gasps) Fine.
(The sound of metal clinking against ceramic echoes through the quiet cafe.)
Sabika Blake (ML's ex fiancee)
Enjoy your solitude, Talha. I hope your grief keeps you warm at night
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
Oh my god... Sarah, she just threw her engagement ring into his espresso and walked out.
Sarah Miller (FL BF)
And he didn't even move. He’s just... staring at the ring drowning in the foam.
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. He looks like he’s made of stone, but his eyes... they look like they had so much to say.......
Sarah Miller (FL BF)
Come on, Roshi. Let's go. People like Talha Williams eat girls like you for breakfast. He’s heartless
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Watching Talha pull a napkin to dry the ring, his face expressionless) Nobody is heartless, Sarah. They just lose the way sometimes.
Sarah Miller (FL BF)
Well, don't forget—your dad, is taking you to his office tomorrow for that internship. You better stay far away from him.
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Smirking) Tomorrow, huh? I think I might wear my brightest yellow dress. This office needs some sunshine

Chapter 2: The Yellow Hurricane
The sleek, glass-and-steel lobby of Williams Architecture & Design. It is 8:55 AM. Talha Williams is stepping out of the elevator, checking his watch. Ayaat Smith is rushing through the revolving doors, trip-sliding on the polished marble
(ignore unimportant things)
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Stumbling) Oof! Who waxes these floors? They should come with a literal health warning!
Talha Williams (ML)
(Stopping in his tracks, voice like ice) They are cleaned to a standard. Perhaps you should try walking instead of racing.❄️❄️❄️
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Looking up, eyes widening) Oh! It’s you! The Coffee-Ring Man!
Talha Williams (ML)
(Frowning) Excuse me?
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Scrambling to stand, smoothing her bright yellow dress) Nothing! I’m Ayaat Smith. The new intern. My dad, Robert Smith, said I should report to the "Ice King"... I mean, to Mr. Talha Williams.
Talha Williams (ML)
(Eyes narrowing) You’re late, Ms. Smith. By four minutes.
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
Four minutes? That’s basically early in "Ayaat Time." Plus, I had to save a kitten on the way. Okay, I didn't save a kitten, but I saw a very cute one. Doesn't that count for positive vibes?
Talha Williams (ML)
This is a firm, not a playground. We value precision, silence, and results. Your dress is... distracting
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Twirling slightly) You like it? It’s "Sunbeam Yellow." I thought this place looked a bit like a funeral home, so I decided to be the light at the end of the tunnel.
Talha Williams (ML)
(Coldly) You are an intern. Your job is to stay in the shadows, learn the filing system, and stay out of my way. Do you understand, or do I need to use simpler words?❄️❄️❄️
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Blinking, her smile faltering for just a second) Wow. You really are as grumpy as they say. But don't worry, Mr. Williams. I’m a fast learner. I’ll have those files organized and your coffee—without a ring in it—on your desk in no time
Talha Williams (ML)
(Leaning in, his shadow towering over her) Don’t get comfortable, Ms. Smith. You’re here because of your father's request, not your "vibes." One mistake, and you’re out. This isn't your carefree life anymore. This is reality
Ayaat(Roshi)Smith (FL)
(Watching him walk away, whispering to herself) Reality is boring, Talha Williams. Let’s see how long you can stay frozen.
