Bonded Part 1

Aayat sat in the tranquil garden, a place that had become her sanctuary away from the bustling university crowd. It had become a habit for her to isolate herself in this quiet corner of the campus, a place where she could escape the cacophony of life and find solace in the midst of nature.

Her laboratory work in microbiology and molecular biology had always been her refuge, a realm where she could lose herself in the intricate world of science and forget the complexities of her personal life. The sterile environment of the lab provided her with a sense of control, something she felt she lacked in matters of the heart.

But after the experiments and research papers were put aside, she would often retreat to this garden. It all began with a simple desire to distance herself from the memories she had shared with Abyad. This place offered her the chance to breathe, to clear her mind, and to reflect on her emotions without the constant reminder of him.
