Over the past few days, Malik seemed to have vanished into the shadows, his nights blending seamlessly into days, and vice versa. Graduation was fast approaching, marking the end of his university journey and leaving him with a whirlwind of emotions. As the countdown to the big day dwindled, whispers circulated among his peers about his mysterious absence. Some speculated that he was seizing the opportunity to relish his remaining days of freedom, while others wondered if he was grappling with uncertainties about the future. Regardless of the rumors, Malik's whereabouts remained a mystery, leaving those around him to ponder the enigma of his disappearing act. Yet, amidst the uncertainty, there lingered a sense of anticipation for the upcoming commencement ceremony, where Malik would finally bid farewell to the familiar halls of academia and embark on a new chapter in his life.

He was eager to tell Lena what had happened during his nights of her absence. He wanted to tell Lena everything that had transpired during his absence. His nights had been shrouded in mystery, filled with encounters and experiences that begged to be shared. Lena's presence offered him a sense of comfort and familiarity, and he couldn't wait to reconnect with her and divulge the secrets of his nocturnal adventures. With anticipation coursing through him, Malik eagerly sought out Lena, ready to recount every detail of his time away and to revel in her company once more.

As they reunited at their favorite spot in the park, Malik couldn't help but notice the radiant smile that lit up Lena's face. Her joy mirrored his own, and he felt a surge of affection wash over him as they embraced. Nestled in each other's arms, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of nature, Malik sensed the perfect moment to share his experiences from the previous night. With a gentle touch, he brushed a stray lock of hair from Lena's face and began to recount the mysterious events that had unfolded while she was away.

"Lena, I have to tell you something," Malik said, his voice soft yet filled with urgency. Lena's eyes widened with curiosity as she listened intently. "During the night we didn't meet, something extraordinary happened to me." He paused, trying to find the right words to convey the strangeness of his experience. "I encountered a witch in a bar."

Lena's eyebrows furrowed in disbelief. "A witch? What do you mean?" she asked, her voice tinged with skepticism.

Malik nodded solemnly. "Yes, a witch.  Shes a good friend of mine and taught we some basic spells, later in the night, she showed me how we were destined to be with each other, and asked me to make a choice,"

Lena's expression shifted from disbelief to concern. "What did you do?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I refused her," Malik replied firmly. "I told her that no one could dictate my destiny but me. 

Tears glistened in Lena's eyes as she listened to Malik's tale. "Oh, Malik," she whispered, overcome with emotion. "I never knew..."

Malik reached out and took Lena's hands in his own, his heart overflowing with love for her. "I wanted to tell you everything, Lena. I wanted you to know that you are the most important thing in my life, and that nothing and no one will ever come between us."

With that, Lena threw her arms around Malik, holding him tightly as if afraid to let him go. And as they sat together in the fading light of the evening, surrounded by the beauty of the park and the warmth of their love, Malik knew that he had made the right choice. For in Lena's arms, he had found his true destiny.
